X-CUBE-TCPP MCU Firmware Package
X-CUBE-TCPP is an STMicroelectronics original initiative. It uses for USB Type-C and Power Delivery software expansion for STM32Cube (UM2285).
X-CUBE-TCPP is a USB-IF certified Expansion Package (USB Type-C Rev 1.2 and Power Delivery 3.0 with 100 W PPS support) and consists of libraries, drivers, sources, APIs and application examples running on STM32 Series GP microcontrollers embedding Type-C and power delivery management (thanks to the embedded UCPD PHY integrated in STM32G4, STM32G0 and STM32L5).
For the other STM32 GP MCU without embedded UCPD PHY (like STM32L4, STM32F0...), this package demonstrates how to comply with Type-C specification.
All the applications available in this package need to have either the TCPP01-M12 or the TCPP03-M20 integrated.
The TCPP01-M12 (Type-C port protection) is a single chip solution for USB Type-C port protection that facilitates the migration from USB legacy connectors type-A or type-B to USB Type-C connectors. The TCPP03-M20 (Type-C port protection) is a single chip solution for USB Type-C port protection in the context of Dual Role Power applications.
STMicroelectronics package has been certified by USB-IF through the reference TID 3036 and TID 5205.
