Abstract

 

This document describes the nSynC-Staging adapter, designed for select USB-C mobile devices 
which use a USB-C receptacle for charging and data. 
 
The  nSynC-Staging  permits  select  mobile  devices  to  access  Ethernet  while  being  charged 
(SimulCharge).  
 
This product’s mode of operation charges your mobile device battery to 100% as long as external 
power  is  attached.  This  mode  of  operation  supports  Docking  Detect,  which  ensures  the  mobile 
devices enter the correct state during a “hot connect” to the LAVA product. 
 
Alternatively,  the  adapter  can  be  used  in  OTG  (On-The-Go)  mode  where  the  mobile  devices 
have access to the Ethernet connect but run off their own batteries.  
 
This document describes the connectors and configuration for the nSynC-Staging adapter.
