## Description

This breakout board provides an easy way to extract signals and power from a USB Type-C Receptacle. By default, the CC pin is connected via a 5.1K resistor to GND (-), meaning the plug identifies as a downstream port, and the upstream port will provide up to 1.5A at 5V. You can replace or move the resistor to pull the CC pin to VBUS (+) or change the pull value.

The 3.0 variant of the breakout board contains only two SuperSpeed differential pairs (RX2+/- and TX2+/-), meaning only single-lane mode is available.

As per the USB Type-C specification, the plug has only one pair of D+/D- pins; it's up to the Receptacle to connect them together or use a mux for more advanced scenarios. Similar with CC and VCONN pins. The SBU pins are not available.

For more details about USB Type-C, we recommend [this application note](http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/appnotes/00001953a.pdf) or the [USB Type-C Specification](https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/USB%20Type-C%20Spec%20R2.0%20-%20August%202019.pdf).
