External USB C Wire Up #13

Open Lil-BenQ opened 3 years ago

Lil-BenQ commented 3 years ago

Hello! I wanted to add an external USBC port to my Proton C and I noticed that it had ports for D+, D- and 5V (CHRG).

My best guess is to take both data buses and run them through a Data ESD protection chip then connect D- and D+ to their corresponding ports. To run power I assume I should take the VBUS pin, attach a 1 amp fuse, and connect it straight to the 5V pin.

A follow up question is that I am using the NUF2221W1T2G for my Data ESD chip and it requires 3.3V to be fed. Could I hook up VCC to it and be done or will I need a power protection chip like the TLV70233.

Any advice or suggestions would be very much appreciated!
