MAX20463 Automotive USB Type-A to Type-C Converter

Analog Devices MAX20463 Automotive USB Type-A to Type-C Converters are used to convert an existing USB-A head-unit captive-cable port to a head-unit USB Type-C™ captive-cable port. The MAX20463 devices are designed for automotive modules. At the end of the cable, an existing upstream head-unit USB-A solution and USB-A captive-cable housing can be reused. The device protection features include ±15kV/±8kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD on CC1/CC2 and IEC ESD with short-to-battery (18V) on SENSE/HVBUS. The MAX20463A senses a short of the passenger cable shield to a car battery, preventing damage to the port.
