CCG3PA Design Flow
This section describes a typical design flow that you would go through during the Type-C application design from
conceptual stage to manufacturing using CCG3PA devices. It also covers how each of the hardware, software, and
firmware resources described in this Application Note are used through the design flow. Figure 2. CCG3PA Design
Flow
shows a typical design flow using CCG3PA devices.

Once the CCG3PA based Type-C application is determined and reference designs have been reviewed, the
hardware and the application development phase of the design flow can be started in parallel.
