I am working on a PCB Design and I need one USB power supply and data. I have read about CC1/CC2 configurations but I'm not sure that putting 5.1 kOhm resistors on CC1 and CC2 will work fine. I have seen one PCB Design like my design, but the designer uses two usb ports:

Schematics

Why doesn't he connect USB2_N and USB2_P directly on DP1, DN1, DP2, DN2?

The designer tells to me this:

"sure you can do that, just means that you may need an adapter if you want to attach a USB device because you are also powering the board through the same connector. You also need a mechanism to detect the device role which means an extra IC to switch between the host and device role."

Thank you so much.

BY the look at the schematic, they are using the usb-c power only on the connector. Just like a Raspberry Pi's cpu board. CC1 and CC2 are connected as a device, but no data.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Depends on application, but the USB-c is a really cheap 100W connector compared to others that are not massed produced like them. as far as the USB, yes you could connect data lines, however it has to be done with a USB hub controller if you want to share the same data lines with another usb port. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ I want to use the USB only for flashing eMMC of Raspberry, there are other USB ports for other uses, I supose I don't need any hub, right? \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ I wouldn't see why not, unless the eMMc card does not have a dedicated pins for programming. \$\endgroup\$
