One potential issue is that the USB Type-C is much smaller than USB Type-A. A USB Type-C connector has 24 pins with a 0.5-mm pitch, compared to the Type-A’s four pins with 2.5-mm pitch.

3. Integrated 50-mA LDO supplies power to external circuits, such as a USB transceiver 4. Production test mode regulates 4.2-V output without battery connection, and supplies up to 2.3 A 5.

This stemmed from a review of a friend’s circuit design that used the UART in the project, but also called for an FTDI chip in order to reprogram via USB and a bootloader.

The Arc HubThe Arc Hub, built by Bourge Design, has the potential to be the USB-C hub I've been waiting for. It features seven ports in total: two USB-C ports with pass-through charging, two USB 3 ...

This 240 W reference design measures a mere 83.7 mm by 83.7 mm and shows 79% higher power density, which is more than recently released 140 W USB PD3.1 slim chargers, while providing 240 W of ...

Two "CC" pins on a USB-C port are supposed to each get their own 5.1K ohms resistor, but Raspberry Pi came up with its own circuit design that allows them to share a single resistor.

Charging a supercapacitor from a 5V USB port may seem simple at first, but to charge three supercapacitors to 7V and to limit the input current to the 500 mA maximum limit on the USB port is somewhat ...
