USB PD
–capable/Type-C PC host: The CY4502 board works with a USB PD–capable PC host with a
Type-C receptacle. If a Type-C USB PD
–enabled PC is not available, the CCG1 Host board that comes with CY4501
CCG1 Development Kit, can be used in conjunction with a standard USB PC.
USB PD
–capable/Type-C device: The CY4502 board can work with a USB PD–capable device with a Type-C
interface. If a Type-C USB PD
–enabled device is not available, the CCG1 Client board that comes with CY4501
CCG1 Development Kit can be used in conjunction with a standard USB 3.1 (or USB3.0/USB 2.0) device.
