Adafruit USB Type C Breakout Board - Downstream Connection

Say goodbye to those old Mini and Micro B USB cables, and welcome the future with USB-C! This next-generation connector is quickly becoming the new standard for devices, replacing older connectors like Micro B and Lightning. Whether you're using a laptop, smartphone, or other USB-powered devices, USB-C is set to be the go-to for charging and data transfer.

Key Features:

• Symmetric/ Reversible Connector: Unlike older USB types, USB-C features a reversible design that makes plugging it in easier than ever.
• Higher Data and Power: With more data pins and increased current output capability, USB-C supports faster data transfer and higher power delivery.
• Classic USB Compatibility: For most developers, this breakout board mimics the classic USB 2.0 pinout, making it easy to connect your device as you would with older USB connectors.

This breakout board comes with all the essentials:

• Resistor Configuration: It includes the two 5.1K resistors on the CC1 pins, which signal the upstream port to provide 5V and up to 1.5A (dependent on the upstream device).
• Easy Connection: Simply connect VBUS to your 5V input, GND to ground, and D+ and D- as usual for data transfer.
• Cable Polarity Detection: The CC and SBU pins allow you to monitor cable polarity or send side-band data if needed (optional).

Get ready to power up with USB-C and enjoy the future of connectivity!
