Chip Talk > A Cutting-edge Turnkey Solution: Nexperia's All-in-One USB Type-C and Power Delivery Controllers
Published July 31, 2025
As the demand for faster and more efficient USB chargers increases, semiconductor companies are racing to provide comprehensive solutions that meet consumer needs and industry standards. This week, Nexperia made a significant stride in this domain by launching new USB Type-C and USB Power Delivery (PD) controller integrated circuits (ICs) designed specifically for 18-140 W applications Nexperia USB Controllers Announcement.
The introduction of the NEX52041 and NEX52080 ICs is a testament to Nexperia's dedication to providing a turnkey solution. These devices are designed to simplify the design and production of USB power adapters, reducing both development time and component sourcing complexity. At the heart of this innovation is the embedded MCU with 16 kB and 32 kB of MTP-ROM, allowing designers the flexibility to customize and secure updates that align with evolving USB standards.
A standout feature of these controllers is their compatibility across a wide range of devices. They support multiple charging protocols beyond USB PD, including various D+/D- based fast charging technologies. This ensures that devices ranging from smartphones to laptops and other gadgets are charged efficiently and effectively.
Unlike many competing products, the NEX52041 and NEX52080 do not require additional external components for overvoltage protection, which significantly reduces the bill of materials (BOM) cost. Offering up to 30 V of overvoltage tolerance, these controllers assure robust safeguarding at crucial junction points.
The devices are available in compact QFN-16 and QFN-24 packages, providing a versatile solution that integrates seamlessly into various charger designs. Ample programmable GPIOs and I2C interfaces support advanced smart power distribution systems, particularly beneficial for multi-port charger applications.
Nexperia positions these controllers as part of a larger ecosystem, facilitating easy integration with the company's AC/DC, MOSFETs, GaN FETs, and TVS/ESD product ranges. This compatibility empowers designers to develop complete solutions using in-house components, potentially accelerating time-to-market and simplifying supply chains.
In the rapidly evolving market of consumer electronics, delivering reliable and adaptable charging solutions is critical. Nexperia's new USB Type-C and USB PD controllers underscore their commitment to innovation and customer-centric design. Fully equipped with advanced features and broad compatibility, Nexperia sets a compelling precedent with these offerings.
