More of our suppliers are rolling out USB products. USB is an evolving standard and given its popularity in the market place, I'm not surprised with the interest by our suppliers.
I am planning on roadtesting a USB Type-C interface detection board.
I wanted to tell you about it. If you have time, please vote in the poll below. Thanks.
Some info about the eval board:
The FUSB302 evaluation board (EVB) and included software allows customers a complete platform to evaluate the Type-C interface detection solution the FUSB302 provides. The EVB is designed for both stand-alone operation and connection to test equipment for specific testing requirements. The FUSB302 software provides both fully automatic control and manual control of the FUSB302 functions. With a single connection to a PC and a couple configurations in the GUI, the EVB can function as a source, sink or dual-role port.
The FUSB302 targets system designers looking to implement a DRP/DFP/UFP USB Type-C connector with low amount of programmability. The FUSB302 does the USB Type-C detection including attach, and orientation. The FUSB302 integrates the physical layer of the USB BMC Power Delivery (PD) protocol to allow up to 100 W of power and role swap. The BMC PD block enables full support for alternative interfaces of the Type-C specification.
Here are some documentation:
The sponsor does provide a test procedure. I think that could be the focus of a roadtest. However, you can design your own tests. The sponsor is flexible.
Beyond the eval board, what else would you need for the roadtest? Please tell me in the comments.
I think this could be a roadtest for both an experienced and a less-experienced roadtester. It definitely will teach you more about USB Type C.
If you have the time, I'd appreciate you voting:
