Abstract
A chip and an interface conversion device are provided. The chip includes first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth pads. The first and second pads are coupled to first and second SBU pins of a USB connector respectively. The fourth and the sixth pads are coupled to first and second pins of an AUX channel of a DP connector respectively. When the chip operates in a first mode, first and second AUX channel signals generated by the chip are transmitted to the third and fifth pads respectively, a voltage of the fourth pad is weakly pulled down, and a voltage of the sixth pad is weakly pulled up. When the chip operates in a second mode, one of the first and second pads is connected to the fourth pad, and the other one of the first and second pads is connected to the sixth pad.
