UTC2000-I/MG

Overview

The UTC2000-I/MG is a USB Type-C controller manufactured by Microchip Technology, designed to manage USB Type-C connections in electronic devices. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The component is housed in a compact 16-pin VFQFN exposed pad package with dimensions of 3x3 mm, suitable for surface mount mounting. It functions as a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) specifically for USB interface applications.

Feature Summary

• Manages all aspects of USB Type-C connection including cable insertion and removal detection
• Automatically manages the orientation of cable insertion for user convenience
• Designed for easy integration into existing products to upgrade capabilities to USB Type-C standards

Applications

• Upgrading existing products to support USB Type-C connectivity
• USB interface controllers requiring simplified current capability marking
• Power management systems for USB Type-C compliant devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I/MG' corresponds to the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) and the 16-QFN (3x3) package configuration. Confirm that the device meets the required USB Type-C specification version for your application. Ensure compatibility with the host system's logic levels and power delivery requirements before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated USB Type-C controller is needed to handle connection management and orientation detection without complex protocol processing. It is suitable for designs requiring a small footprint (3x3mm QFN) and operation from a standard 5V rail. Consider its role as a basic controller rather than a full port controller if advanced power negotiation beyond basic Type-C detection is not required.

Part Context

The UTC2000 series represents Microchip's entry-level solution for USB Type-C adoption. The UTC2000-I/MG variant specifically targets industrial environments with its extended temperature range. It serves as a bridge for legacy designs transitioning to modern USB connectors, focusing on physical layer management rather than high-speed data signaling control.

Replacement Considerations
