Abstract
An electronic device includes a first electronic circuitry portion configured to connect a Vsupply terminal of a Universal Serial Bus Type-C (USB-C) controller to a first configuration channel (CC) terminal of a plurality of CC terminals of the USB-C controller. The first CC terminal of the USB-C controller is to be directly connected to a first CC terminal of a plurality of CC terminals of a USB-C receptacle. The electronic device further includes a second electronic circuitry portion electrically coupled to the first electronic circuitry portion and configured to detect a voltage across the first CC terminal of the USB-C controller and the Vsupply terminal. The second electronic circuitry portion is to decouple the Vsupply terminal from the first CC terminal of the USB-C controller when the voltage is greater than a predetermined threshold.
