Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation to ensure compatibility with required firmware or hardware configurations. Confirm that the WFBGA-44 package aligns with PCB layout constraints. Check current lifecycle status as availability may vary due to obsolescence notices associated with this product line. Ensure supply chain sources provide authentic components from authorized distributors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small form factor solution is required for USB Type-C applications. The integrated processor reduces external logic requirements. Verify I2C voltage levels match the host system. Consider thermal performance within the 4x4mm footprint. Evaluate firmware support availability for specific Power Delivery profiles needed in the target design.

Part Context

This part belongs to Microchip's USB Type-C controller family. It shares architectural similarities with other models in the series but differs in package type and specific interface configurations. The WFBGA format distinguishes it from larger packages used in desktop-oriented controllers. It serves as a specialized solution for space-constrained mobile and portable devices requiring robust power delivery management.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers include UPD360T-C/6HX. Verify pinout and functional equivalence before substitution. Lifecycle status differences may affect long-term availability. Review datasheet revisions for any changes in electrical characteristics or supported protocols between the original and replacement parts.
