Microcontrollers on boards using the USB_TYPE_C
USB_TYPE_C: common questions
Where can I find a USB_TYPE_C reference design?
Each of the 1 boards on this page is a real design using the USB_TYPE_C. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.
Which microcontrollers do boards using the USB_TYPE_C use?
Most are built on AVR/Arduino (1).
How big is a typical board using the USB_TYPE_C?
The median is 50 × 100 mm, and 100% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the USB_TYPE_C?
By GitHub stars, PSU PCB by ThomasVDD, with 16 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the USB_TYPE_C before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
