STMicroelectronics X-NUCLEO-SRC1M1 USB Type-C™ PD Expansion Board allows evaluating the features of the TCPP02-M18 for the USB Type-C and the protections for VBUS and CC lines suitable for source applications. The expansion board is designed to be stacked on top of any STM32 Nucleo-64 development board with Power Delivery (UCPD) peripheral embedded in the microcontroller.
The user can also stack it on top of any other STM32 Nucleo-64 development board not supporting the UCPD peripheral for 5V, source only, to demonstrate the USB Type-C™ basic operations (attach, detach, and 5V power supply current capability information). When using an STM32 Nucleo-64 development board with a Power Delivery peripheral, data functionalities as a host device or dual role data (DRD) are also allowed.
The STMicroelectronics. X-NUCLEO-SRC1M1 provides a practical demonstration of the source operation of the USB Type-C™ connector when an external compatible source is connected to the board. The integrated ST715PU33R LDO linear regulator can supply the connected STM32 Nucleo development board. The X-NUCLEO-SRC1M1 is compliant with the current USB Type-C™ and Power Delivery specifications.
The companion software package (X-CUBE-TCPP) contains the application examples for the development boards embedding UCPD-based microcontrollers (for example, NUCLEO-G071RB, NUCLEO-G474RE, and NUCLEO-G0B1RE) and for those not supporting the UCPD peripheral (NUCLEO-L412RB-P).
