Automotive USB charge integrated circuits and designs

USB Charge, like the rest of the automotive industry, is constantly adapting to the fast-paced influence of the personal electronics market. TI provides innovative reference designs and complementary ICs for media interfaces to connect external or internal media to a vehicle’s infotainment system, streamlining the design cycle and reducing time-to-market.

Automotive USB charge designs require:

• Compatibility to smartphone interfaces that support the connected vehicle ecosystem and ports that support charge and data capabilities
• Signal integrity preserved across various cable lengths in automotive environments for USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 standards
• Devices with the ability to  utilizing the high power USB Power Delivery (PD)
• Space efficiency to cope with increasing design complexity
