USB Type C


By admin | 30/08/2015 | Category General

USB Type C

The Type-C plug connects to both hosts and devices, replacing various Type-B and Type-A connectors and cables with a standard meant to be future-proof. The 24-pin double-sided connector provides four power/ground pairs, two differential pairs for USB 2.0 data bus (though only one pair is implemented in a Type-C cable), four pairs for high-speed data bus, two “sideband use” pins, and two configuration pins for cable orientation detection, dedicated biphase mark code (BMC) configuration data channel, and VCONN +5 V power for active cables. Type-A and Type-B adaptors/cables will be required for older devices in order to plug into Type-C hosts; adaptors/cables with a Type-C receptacle are not allowed.

Full-featured USB Type-C cables are active, electronically marked cables that contain a chip with an ID function based on the configuration data channel and vendor-defined messages (VDMs) from the USB Power Delivery 2.0 specification. USB Type-C devices also support power currents of 1.5 A and 3.0 A over the 5 V power bus in addition to baseline 900 mA; devices can either negotiate increased USB current through the configuration line, or they can support the full Power Delivery specification using both BMC-coded configuration line and legacy BFSK-coded VBUS line.

Hardware and OS support

OS support

Windows 10 is supporting USB 3.1 and USB Type-C. OS X is supporting USB 3.1 and USB Type-C. Android Marshmallow will support USB Type-C.

Hardware support

Netbooks, tablets, smartphones

Among the first devices to accommodate a USB Type-C cable are the Nokia N1 tablet, Apple’s 2015 MacBook (which has only a single first-generation USB 3.1 port), and Google’s second Chromebook Pixel. The HP Pavilion x2 10 detachable a 2 in 1 Hybrid also supports USB Type-C . The first smartphone that accommodates a USB Type-C cable is from a Chinese company LeTV. Recently, OnePlus 2, successor of OnePlus One mobile, announced USB Type-C in its specifications.

Storage LaCie announced a mobile drive. SanDisk launched a line of SSDs supporting 10 Gbit/s USB 3.1 Type-C
