USB Type-C, commonly known as USB-C, once cutting edge has eventually become the connection standard for charging and transferring data, renowned for its reversible design and impressive power delivery capabilities, ushering in a new era of universal charging and communication for devices.
This is part of a schematic for an ESP32-based system. The ESP32 is a popular microcontroller with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities, often used in IoT devices. It's a complex document, and a detailed explanation would involve going through every component and connection. Follow the project here: https://discord.com/channels/2327017230 ... 046754839.
Here's the breakdown:
VBUS (A4): This is the power bus for USB. It typically carries 5V from the power source.
GND (A1, S1): Ground connections, which are used to complete the circuit.
CC1 (A5), CC2 (B5): These are the Configuration Channel pins. They're used to determine cable orientation and manage the connection between devices.
D- (A7, B7), D+ (A6, B6): These are the data lines for USB 2.0 speed communication.
SBUs (A8, B8): SBU stands for Sideband use, but they are crossed out, which suggests they are not used in this design.
PWR_FLAG: This might be a signal to indicate the presence of power or the status of the power connection.
R4, R5: These are resistors that might be used for pull-up or pull-down on certain lines to set the default state or for voltage matching.
R2: Another resistor, marked as 0k, which means it's probably a jumper or a placeholder for an optional resistor.
C1, C2: These are capacitors. C1 is marked as 10uF (microfarads) and C2 as 100nF (nanofarads). They are used for smoothing out voltage and filtering noise from the power supply.
R6, R7: These resistors are labeled with 4k7, which means they have a resistance of 4.7 kilohms. They might be used for matching impedance or as pull-up resistors for the data lines.
USBD-, USBD+: These are probably points where the USB data lines would connect to another part of the circuit or device.
