Solution |
USB Power Delivery specification introduces USB Type-C receptacle, plug and cable; they provide a smaller, thinner and more robust alternative to existing USB interconnect. Main features are:
•Enable new and exciting host and device form-factors where size, industrial design and style are important parameters
•Work seamlessly with existing USB host and device silicon solutions
•Enhance ease of use for connecting USB devices with a focus on minimizing user confusion for plug and cable orientation

On a standard USB Type-C cable, only a single CC wire within each plug is connected through the cable to establish signal orientation
The other CC pin is repurposed as VCONN for powering electronics Also, only one set of USB 2.0 D+/D- wires are implemented
