Overview
CH251 is a simplified version of USB Type-C cable e-Marker chip, support USB Type-C 2.1 standard and USB PD 3.1 standard, can be used for Type-C five-core cable related applications. The CH251 chip integrates VCONN diode, Ra resistor, VBUS power supply unit and high-voltage LDO internally, which can be operated in a single chip without peripheral devices. The CH251 ships with a default configuration programmed in internally, and supports chip, terminal or finished cable to update the configuration data through the Type-C port for programming. In addition to the default configuration, each piece of CH251 also supports up to 5 times of configuration data updating and writing, and has a data lock function. The factory default configuration data of CH251 has a variety of options. The VBUS of CH251L supports up to 22V input voltage power supply and can be used for 100W (20V5A) power Type-C five-core cable; CH251X, compared to CH251L, VBUS supports up to 52V input voltage power supply and can be used for 240W (48V5A) power Type-C five-core cable.
