Microchip Technology EVB-USB7002 USB Type-C Evaluation Board

Microchip Technology EVB-USB7002 USB Type-C™ Evaluation Board provides the requirements and interface options for evaluating the USB7002. The USB7002 is a 4-port Native USB Type-C SmartHub on a 4-layer RoHS-compliant Printed Circuit Board. This allows for an understanding of the product and accelerates the integration of the USB7002 into designs.

The EVB-USB7002 evaluation platform supports four downstream ports: two USB 3.1 Gen1 ports with USB Type-C connectors and two USB 2.0 ports with Type-A connectors. The EVB-USB7002 platform also supports battery charging on all four downstream ports (maximum of 10A at any time) and FlexConnect. This role reversal technology enables ANY of the downstream ports to be the Host (upstream) port.
