1. Safety Information 1.1 Regulatory Compliance The CY4541 EZ-PD CCG4 EVK is intended for use as a development platform for hardware or software in a laboratory environment. The board is an open-system design, which does not include a shielded enclosure. Due to this reason, the board may cause interference to other electrical or electronic devices in close proximity.
1.2 General Safety Instructions 1.2.1 ESD Protection ESD can damage boards and associated components. Cypress recommends that you perform procedures only at an ESD workstation. If an ESD workstation is not available, use appropriate ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to the chassis ground (any unpainted metal surface) on the board when handling parts.
2. Introduction The CY4541 EZ-PD™ CCG4 Evaluation Kit (EVK) is based on the Cypress’s CCG4 dual port Type-C Power Delivery (PD) controllers. EZ-PD™ CCG4 is a dual USB Type-C controller that complies with the latest USB Type-C and PD standards. This EVK is primarily intended to be a demonstration vehicle for Type-C PC designs that house one or two Type-C ports.
