[0024] exist Figure 1In the illustrated embodiment, the MPQ4262 chip initially has no output. The CCG3PA chip needs to send an MPQ4262_NE1 / 2 enable signal to enable the MPQ4262 chip. Simultaneously, the CCG3PA chip configures the MPQ4262 chip registers via I2C, enabling the VOUT output of MPQ4262 PIN7. The MPQ4262 chip outputs 5V by default. The CCG3PA chip dynamically adjusts the MPQ4262 chip's output voltage via FB according to the device's request. In other words, the CCG3PA_1 chip needs to send an enable signal to enable the MPQ4262_1 chip to work.

[0025] exist Figure 1 In the specific embodiment shown, both the first USB interface 130 and the second USB interface 140 are USB Type-C interfaces. The communication pins CC01 and CC02 of the first USB interface 130 are connected to the corresponding pins of the first charging protocol control circuit 114 (or the CCG3PA_1 chip); the communication pins CC11 and CC12 of the second USB interface 140 are connected to the corresponding pins of the second charging protocol control circuit 124 (or the CCG3PA_2 chip); the standard charging protocol supported by the first charging protocol control circuit 114 is the PD protocol; the standard charging protocol supported by the second charging protocol control circuit 124 is the PD protocol.

[0026] The following is a detailed introduction Figure 1 The working principle of the in-vehicle high-power USB data charging module is shown.

[0027] When the vehicle-mounted high-power USB data charging module detects that only the first USB interface 130 is connected to the device to be charged, the CCG3PA_1 chip enables the first DC-DC buck-boost circuit 112 (e.g., MPQ4262_1 chip) to work, and controls the first DC-DC buck-boost circuit 112 (e.g., MPQ4262_1 chip) to charge the device to be charged (e.g., mobile phone) through the first USB interface 130 based on a standard charging protocol (e.g., PD protocol).

[0028] When the vehicle-mounted high-power USB data charging module detects that only the second USB interface 140 is connected to a device to be charged, the CCG3PA_2 chip enables the second DC-DC buck-boost circuit 122 (e.g., MPQ4262_2 chip) to work, and controls the second DC-DC buck-boost circuit 122 (e.g., MPQ4262_2 chip) to charge the device to be charged (e.g., mobile phone) through the second USB interface 140 based on a standard charging protocol (e.g., PD protocol).

[0029] When the vehicle-mounted high-power USB data charging module detects that both the first USB port 130 and the second USB port 140 are connected to devices to be charged (e.g., mobile phones), the CCG3PA_1 chip enables the first DC-DC boost / buck circuit 112 (e.g., MPQ4262_1 chip) to operate, and controls the first DC-DC boost / buck circuit 112 (e.g., MPQ4262_1 chip) to charge the device to be charged (e.g., mobile phone) through the first USB port 130 based on a standard charging protocol (e.g., PD protocol); at the same time, the CCG3PA_2 chip enables the second DC-DC boost / buck circuit 122 (e.g., MPQ4262_2 chip) to operate, and controls the second DC-DC boost / buck circuit 122 (e.g., MPQ4262_2 chip) to charge the device to be charged (e.g., mobile phone) through the second USB port 140 based on a standard charging protocol (e.g., PD protocol).

[0030] exist Figure 1 In the specific embodiment shown, when only the first USB port 130 is connected to a device to be charged, the first USB port 130 provides a maximum of 45W of PD protocol charging to the device to be charged; when only the second USB port 140 is connected to a device to be charged, the second USB port 140 provides a maximum of 45W of PD protocol charging to the device to be charged; when both the first USB port 130 and the second USB port 140 are connected to devices to be charged, the first USB port 130 provides a maximum of 27W of PD protocol charging to the device to be charged, and the second USB port 140 also provides a maximum of 27W of PD protocol charging to the device to be charged.

[0031] In other words, Figure 1In the illustrated embodiment, the mature and reliable Infineon CCG3PA chip is used to establish, communicate, and execute the PD protocol. The two PD controllers (or CCG3PA chips) communicate via I2C. The CCG3PA chip enables the MPQ4262 power supply chip via GPIO. Each PD controller (or CCG3PA chip) can individually control the configuration of its corresponding MPQ4262 power supply chip via I2C communication, and control the output voltage of the MPQ4262 power supply chip via FB. The CCG3PA chip can meet the PD 3.1 output voltage control logic, outputting 5V, 9V, 15V, and 20V voltages according to device requests. In single-port output mode, this design can support a maximum of 45W of PD protocol charging. In dual-port output mode, each port can output a maximum of 27W of PD protocol charging, for a total maximum output of 54W.

[0032] exist Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the data communication section uses Microchip's USB4925 chip, which supports two uplink ports and two downlink ports. The mobile device (or device to be charged) can communicate with the host via USB 2.0 through the design of this invention. The host can also read the registers of the CCG3PA_1 and CCG3PA_2 chips through the Hub chip 150 to determine whether the mobile device (or device to be charged) connected to the CCG3PA_1 or CCG3PA_2 chip is in PD state (or standard charging protocol state) or non-PD state (or non-standard charging protocol state). When an overcurrent or short circuit occurs at the output of the first USB interface 130 or the second USB interface 140, the CCG3PA_1 or CCG3PA_2 chip can transmit a Fault signal to the Hub chip 150 (or USB4925 chip), thereby transmitting it to the vehicle's infotainment system. The vehicle's infotainment system then continuously pulls the Fault signal low and resets it according to its own software strategy. Alternatively, the CCG3PA_1 chip or the CCG3PA_2 chip can transmit the fault signal of the first USB interface 130 or the second USB interface 140 to the vehicle's infotainment system via the Hub chip 150.

[0033] exist Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the vehicle-mounted high-power USB data charging module also includes an upstream connector 160, an input protection and filtering circuit 180, an input interface circuit 190, and an electrostatic discharge and overvoltage protection circuit 200.

[0039] The voltage regulator filter unit 186 includes a bidirectional Zener diode D102 and a capacitor C102. The bidirectional Zener diode D102 is connected between the vehicle DC input power supply VBAT and the ground terminal; the capacitor C102 is connected between the vehicle DC input power supply VBAT and the ground terminal.

[0043] In summary, this invention provides a high-power USB data charging module for vehicles based on the CCG3PA chip. Its two Type-C outputs are symmetrical, and the PD control software is flexible and adjustable. The two Type-C outputs are independent yet can communicate with each other. A single-port output of 45W can meet the fast charging needs of most mobile devices; the dual-port 27W+27W output, with its simple power distribution mechanism, avoids communication interference caused by complex power distribution strategies.
