variable power supply to the terminals of connector J12 of the CCG base board.

Note: Check the jumper positions before you power the board. See Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-5 for default jumper settings of

the CCG EVK base board and CCG3 daughter card.

The CCG3 device in the CY4531 CCG3 EVK is pre-programmed with the latest cyacd firmware binary image at the time of

manufacturing. However, a newer .cyacd file may be available on the CY4531 CCG3 EVK webpage and in the CY4531

CCG3 EVK installer. The firmware version of the onboard CCG3 device can be verified by using the EZ-PD Configuration

Utility as shown in Figure 4-4. If the onboard CCG3 device’s firmware version does not match with the latest version on the

CY4531 CCG3 EVK webpage, follow the steps in this chapter to reprogram the CCG3 device. This firmware update is

the consumer power consumer header (J7) is based on the power negotiation between the CCG3 device and the Type-

C power adapter. Thus, it will vary with respect to the attached Type-C power adapter. This demonstrates that a CCG3

enabled notebook with a Type-C port can be charged from the dead battery condition.

5.3.3 Power Supply Connections

A PC with a USB 3.0 port and a DisplayPort, along with the CY4531 EZ-PD CCG3 EVK, is equivalent to a PD-enabled

Type-C port Notebook as shown in Figure 5-6. In a real Type-C Notebook design, power from the power output header (J7)

of the CCG base board acting as the power adapter is connected to a Battery Charger Circuit (BCC) of a USB 3.0

Notebook/PC. On the CCG3 EVK, the DC power jack J1 on the CCG base board is provided for demonstration purposes

only because the internal supply from the notebook is not available. In a real system, the DC power input header J12 of the

CCG base board would be connected to the PMIC. A DC power adapter (if required, shown as “Notebook Power Adapter”

block in Figure 5-6) would be connected to the “ORing Controller” block which supplies power to the Battery Charger

Circuit.

Power being provided to the CCG3 kit would come from a PMIC in the Notebook, and the input source to that PMIC could
