  • Finished IC. Unbranded, packaged and tested ICs to OEM.

Applications

  • Source-only port
  • Sink-only port
  • Full DRP port
  • Accessory support
  • Debug support
  • VCONN powered accessory or VCONN powered device
  • Combination of any or all of the above

Flexible Licensing Options

  • Project based, Term, or Perpetual Licenses
  • Single Project or Multi-Project
  • Single Technology or Multi-Project/Multi-Technology
  • Manufacturing License options (GDS IP)

IP Platform

IQonIC Works offers a library of modular IP building blocks supporting a wide range of application specific solutions, including pre-integrated IQonIC Works configurations and customer own integrations.

IQonIC Works USB-C/PD IP

USB-PD functions and protocol layer implementations are available both in HW and in FW, offering a wide range of application specific integration options, including:

  • HW only. All Type-C/PD and application functions in hardware.

 

  • Embedded CPU dedicated to the USB-C/PD functions. PD stack upper layers implemented in firmware, All lower level PD and Type-C functions in hardware.

 

  • Sharing an applications CPU for the USB-C/PD firmware and a USB-C/PD hardware block as a peripheral to the shared CPU.
