Pick the right USB-C receptacle faster with Altium Develop, which shows component pricing, availability, and lifecycle status right inside your schematic: https://www.altium.com/develop?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=altium-academy-shorts&utm_content=usb-type-c-explained-the-one-app-note-to-read-first USB Type-C is far more than a reversible connector, and this Altium Academy Short points you to the one app note worth reading first: Microchip's AN1953. It covers how USB-C differs from older USB form factors, how upstream- and downstream-facing ports decide which side sources current and which side sinks it, and how the receptacle and plug pinouts compare. You'll also find pin descriptions, including the sideband use (SBU) pins, plus recommended power ratings and signal speeds. It's a quick starting point for PCB designers and engineers adding USB-C to a board.
