EZ-PD™ Barrel Connector Replacement (BCR) PLUS evaluation kit

CY4534

The Infineon CY4534 EZ-PD™ Barrel Connector Replacement Plus (BCR-Plus) EVK is an evaluation platform for customers who want to replace an existing barrel/power input connector with a USB-C connector. Implementing this solution in an end-product allows the system to be powered by any USB-C compliant power adapter.

A device such as a speaker, shaver, power tool, modem, etc. that use a barrel connector for power will benefit from using a universal power interface such as USB Type-C. To make the transition easier, the EZ-PD™ BCR-PLUS EVK CY4534 provides a USB Type-C receptacle to consume power from a charger and then supply it over a terminal block. A barrel connector can be attached to this block by using wires to convert a barrel input to USB Type-C.
