A usb c controller is quite complicated. The protocol is not simple at all.

- RandallBrown 8y agoIt's still mind-blowing that if you wanted a USB-C controller in 1976, you'd need $64 million dollars worth of computing power.

- nimish 8y agoYou would need more than that, since a significant cost is already built into the economies of scale of making non-leading-edge chips. Exponential growth is a crazy thing.
- vlovich123 8y agoIf it's doing just power charging it should be much simpler, no? Maybe there just aren't any USB-C charger-only microcontrollers out there? Or perhaps the protocol negotiation happens at such fast speed that you have no choice but to use a fairly fast microcontroller?
