Cadence IP for USB Works over Type-C (Proof Inside)

There is no other specification in the history of USB that caused so much discussion and interest as the USB Type-C. The new type of connector, designed to be a jack of all trades, eliminates all flaws of legacy Type-A and Type-B plugs, and adds significant benefits for USB and beyond. Here's a brief rundown of those benefits for those who are not frequent readers of the Cadence USB blog:

  1. Reversible design: You always get the plug right
  2. Two-way insertion: Host and device connectors are the same
  3. Higher data rates: Up to 10Gbps for 3.1 Gen2, and it’s not the final word on performance
  4. Increased power: Up to 100W of power through support for USB Power Delivery 2.0 specification
  5. Bidirectionality: Devices can both provide and consume power
  6. Scalable power charging: Power consumption may dynamically change depending on the application needs
  7. Replacement for your display, power, and other connectors: New partners for USB Alternate Modes are being discussed all the time, and MHL and DisplayPort are members already

Vendors will gradually introduce all the features, and we’re happy to announce that Cadence have developed a demo system that provides USB support over a Type-C connector in a real-life application. Please see the video below to check for yourself.
