Description
The EVAL-SCS002V1 shows minimum USB-C sink implementation. It can be used as a small footprint reference design for fast migration of any USB mini-B, micro-B or STD-B application to USB-C. It is based on the STUSB4500 USB controller IC and is certified as “Power Sinking Device”.
- USB Type-C SINK port
- Short-to VBUS protection up to 28 V
- Low bill of material cost, small footprint
- Source power budget reporting LEDs
- After connection to a compatible USB port, the STUSB4500L reference design: closes the switch to power up the system (if the VBUS voltage ranges between 3.3 V and 5.75 V)
-
Reports the maximum available current according to the following LED colors:
Q: What is the EVAL-SCS002V1?
A: The EVAL-SCS002V1 is a reference design that facilitates the migration of devices from a USB micro-B connector to USB Type-C. It is based on the STUSB4500 controller and is certified as a "Power Sinking Device."
Q: Why would I use the EVAL-SCS002V1?
A: This board simplifies the transition to USB Type-C, which offers a more compact, reversible connector and can support faster data rates and higher power delivery compared to micro-B.
Q: What are the key features of the EVAL-SCS002V1?
- USB Type-C SINK port
- Short-to-VBUS protection up to 28V
- Low bill of materials cost and small footprint
- LEDs for reporting the source power budget (1.5A, 3A)
Q:What is the STUSB4500 controller?
A: The STUSB4500 is a standalone USB Type-C controller from STMicroelectronics. It handles the communication and power management aspects of the USB-C connection, making it easier to implement USB-C functionality in your designs.
Q: How can I use the EVAL-SCS002V1 in my project?
A: The EVAL-SCS002V1 serves as a reference design and can be used as a starting point for your own USB-C implementation. You can adapt the schematics and layout to your specific needs and use the STUSB4500 controller to manage the USB-C connection in your device.
