What can you possibly do to need such computing power for a switching power supply... I wonder

- pantalaimon 5y agoSTM32G0 is as already the lowest end current MCU line from ST (if you ignore the STM8 line of 8-bit MCUs)
- jagger27 5y agoUSB PD is a fairly complex protocol. I can safely plug my phone into my MacBook charger now because both ends can negotiate a suitable power level. We’re not just doing 5V 1A anymore. The CPU they chose is probably a little overkill, but it’s nicer than 8-bit microcontrollers to write programs for since it’s just Arm. Who knows, maybe they have a bunch of internal sensors and can intelligently react to high temperatures or moisture.
