@Aortner is there any release date / excpected costs for this yet?
Prototype is finished this week - then I know moreā¦
@GoRoNb Thanks for the documents. It looks doable, and would be useful for people with a USB C compatible device. I think most people today donāt have such device in the cab though (itās not my case at least). So USB C capability would have to come in addition to a standard DCDC regulator on the PCB, not replace it.
I also have another major concern : on the connector there are only 30 pins available, which is not much for all this PCB has to do. Using USB C would consume two more pins, for the CC lines. The pins allocation is not final yet, but for sure there wonāt be any extra.
It also raises the question of signal integrity through a non standard USB connector. I might have to do some eye-diagram measurements to make sure itās not too altered, especially at Full Speed.
@Aortner can you keep us updated about how USB behaves through Wago connectors ? Also, will you make your design available and open source ? I might be interested in duplicating your USB hub
