MAX77958
Standalone USB Type-C and USB Power
Delivery Controller
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX77958 is a robust solution for USB Type-C CC
detection and power delivery (PD) protocol implementa-
tion. It detects connected accessories or devices by us-
ing Type-C CC detection and USB PD messaging. The
IC protects against overvoltage and overcurrent, and de-
tects moisture and prevents corrosion on the USB Type-
C connector. The IC also has a D+/D- USB switch and
BC1.2 detection to support legacy USB standards. It con-

The IC has an I C master that can read and write to other
devices in the system so that its firmware can configure re-
lated devices without the main processor's assistance. For
example, it can configure an external charger based on
BC1.2 detection, CC detection, and PD communication.
● Supports BC1.2 Legacy/Proprietary Charger Detection
• Integrated D+/D- Switches
● Moisture Detection/Corrosion Prevention
● High Voltage V
(28V)
