Abstract
An electronic device includes a first switch configured to connect a first configuration channel (CC) terminal of a Universal Serial Bus Type-C (USB-C) controller to a Vsupply of the USB-C controller. The first CC terminal of the USB-C controller being is to directly connect to the first CC terminal of a USB-C receptacle. The electronic device includes a second switch configured to connect a second CC terminal of the USB-C controller to a control channel physical layer logic (PHY) of the USB-C controller. The second CC terminal is to directly connect to the second CC terminal of the USB-C receptacle. The electronic device includes an overvoltage detection and protection circuit configured to deactivate the first switch or the second switch when a voltage exceeding a predetermined threshold is detected. The first switch and the second switch are each coupled to the overvoltage detection and protection circuit.
