UTC2000/MG

Overview

The UTC2000/MG is a USB Type-C port controller from Microchip Technology, designed to facilitate the migration of legacy USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 designs to modern USB Type-C standards. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The component is housed in a 16-pin VFQFN package with an exposed pad, measuring 3x3 mm. It functions as a specialized power management interface IC, enabling compatibility with both host (DFP) and device (UFP) modes for comprehensive system integration.

Feature Summary

• Supports rapid migration from legacy USB 2.0/3.0 designs to USB Type-C interfaces
• Enables evaluation in both host (DFP) and device (UFP) operational modes
• Provides cost-effective solution for USB Type-C port control

Applications

• Evaluation of USB Type-C controller configurations using EVB-UTC2000-UFP or EVK-UTC2000 kits
• Integration into systems requiring USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 backward compatibility
• Development of devices supporting various USB-C charging profiles

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MG' against the official Microchip datasheet to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with the 16-VFQFN (3x3) footprint during PCB layout. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to confirm current availability status and lead times, as supply chain conditions may vary.

Selection Notes

Select the UTC2000/MG when designing systems that require seamless transition from existing USB infrastructure to USB Type-C without significant redesign. Consider its 4.5V to 5.5V operating range for standard 5V logic applications. Evaluate the need for host versus device mode support based on the target application's role in the USB topology.

Part Context

The UTC2000 series serves as a bridge between traditional USB implementations and the evolving USB Type-C ecosystem. As a dedicated port controller, it simplifies the implementation of USB-C features such as reversible plug orientation and enhanced power delivery negotiation. The MG variant specifically denotes the commercial temperature grade and QFN packaging suitable for surface-mount assembly.

Replacement Considerations

Consult Microchip Technology's official documentation for direct cross-references or comparable parts. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications before substituting with alternative USB-C controllers from other manufacturers.
