CC interface

The STUSB1602 controls the connection to the configuration channel (CC) pins, CC1 and CC2, through two main

blocks: the CC line interface block and the CC control logic block.

The CC line interface block is used to:

•

Configure termination mode on the CC pins relative to the power mode supported i.e. pull-up for source

power role

•

Monitor the CC pin voltage values relative to the attachment detection thresholds

•

•

Protect the CC pins against overvoltage

The CC control logic block is used to:

•

Execute the Type-C FSM relative to the Type-C power mode supported

•

Determine the electrical state for each CC pin relative to the detected thresholds

•

to another in the Type-C FSM

•

Detect and establish a valid source-to-sink connection

•

Determine the attached device mode: source, sink or accessory

•

Determine cable orientation to allow external routing of the USB data

•

•

Handle hardware faults

The CC control logic block implements the Type-C FSMs corresponding to the following Type-C power modes:

•

Source power role with accessory support

•

Sink power role with accessory support

•

Sink power role without accessory support

•

Dual power role with accessory support

The default Type-C power mode is selected through NVM programming (see Section 6 Start-up configuration)

and can be changed by software during operation through the I²C interface.
