August 7, 2025 /SemiMedia/ — Nexperia has unveiled a new lineup of USB Type-C and USB Power Delivery (PD) controllers tailored for consumer adapters ranging from 18 to 140 watts. The company now offers a complete turnkey semiconductor solution for USB chargers, helping system designers streamline component selection and reduce development timelines.

The newly introduced NEX52041 and NEX52080 controllers are single-port USB PD devices equipped with embedded MCUs and 16 kB and 32 kB of MTP-ROM respectively. These enable firmware updates to stay compliant with evolving USB specifications and support a wide range of fast-charging protocols beyond USB PD, ensuring compatibility with both modern and legacy devices.

Housed in compact QFN-16 and QFN-24 packages, the controllers offer programmable GPIOs and I2C interfaces, enabling smart power distribution and inter-device communication in multi-port charger designs.

One of the standout features is the native 30 V overvoltage tolerance on connector pins, eliminating the need for external protection components commonly used in competing solutions. This reduces BOM complexity while enhancing system robustness.

The devices utilize a constant-voltage and constant-current (CV/CC) control loop architecture, making them suitable for designs using optocouplers and various DC/DC or AC/DC topologies. Combined with Nexperia’s broader portfolio—including AC/DC controllers, MOSFETs, GaN FETs, and ESD protection components—these ICs offer a fast path to building fully integrated, high-performance USB charging solutions.
