USB Port #3, coming out from SMARC
®
module, could support OTG functionalities (it depends
on the functionalities offered by the SMARC
®
module used, however).
For this reason, this port is carried out through a standard type-C Socket, type Amphenol p/n
12401610E4#2A, described in the table on the left.
This USB Type-C port CN9 has Power Delivery functionality, made possible by the source
controller on SM-B79 carrier board with integrated 1.5A @5V USB power switch. This IC
controller does monitor USBC_CC1 / USBC_CC2 to detect when a USB sink is attached and
applies power to VBUS_C with the defined current sourcing
capability (1.5A @5V).
USB Type-C supports USB 2.0, USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 Gen 2
standards. This support, however, is strictly related to SMARC
®
module features on USB Port
ed to refer to SMARC
®
module user manual intended to be used.
In addition, USB Type-C is a flippable connector, meaning that this interface is designed in a
way that the plug can be flipped relative to the receptacle. The redundancy for the signal on
Row A and B is included only to provide a flippable connector.
The Power Delivery controller on SM-B79 carrier board by reading channel configurations pins
USBC_CC1 and USBC_CC2 will drive the multiplexer on board to correctly re-route the data
on the employed differential pairs through the connector.
