USB-C Pinout and Data Channels
USB-C interface consist of three main layers:
USB Data
▪
Taurus UCX series supports USB 3.1 Gen1
(max. 5 Gbps data speed) on their USB-C
ports. This data is transmitted on the USB
Superspeed data channels.
▪
USB 2.0 data (480 Mbps) is transferred on
the High-speed data channels. The built-
in USB-Ethernet bridge provides Ethernet
connection over the USB-C connector. This
function uses the High-speed channels. For
more details see
USB Port Diagram (UCX-4x2-HC30D)
section.
INFO:
USB.2.x and 3.x data transfer happens on independent two layers simultaneously.
Displayport Alternate Mode (Video + Embedded Audio)
▪
Alternate mode
is designed for carrying uncompressed,
native Displayport video as a non-USB data
(All Superspeed Data lanes deliver video
signals, it reserves the whole bandwidth of
the SS Lines).
▪
DisplayPort Alternate mode and USB 3.1
data shared:
AV signals
and USB 3.1 data
are transmitted at the same time, shared
the bandwidth (2 SuperSpeed lines for
video + 2 SuperSpeed lines for USB 3.1).
