CD3215C00Z CD3215C00 USB-C Port Controller IC for MacBook

Product Description

The CD3215C00Z USB-C Port Controller IC is a replacement USB-C port controller chip used on compatible MacBook logic boards. It is associated with USB-C power-adapter detection, power negotiation, and USB-C protocol routing. The chip can be identified in board schematics and board-view files as CD3215A, U3100, or U3200.

This CD3215C00Z USB-C Port Controller IC is commonly used with compatible MacBook Pro A1989, A1990 and MacBook Air A1932 logic boards. Replacement listings also identify CD3215C00/CD3215C00Z with USB-C controller positions such as U3100 and U3200.

The chip is intended for professional motherboard-level repair where the original USB-C controller IC is faulty or damaged. Exact chip revision and board compatibility must be verified before replacement.
