USB Type-C is capable of supporting data rates of up to 10Gbit/s, as well as providing up to 100W. It also offers more flexibility and smaller form factors than previous generations of USB connectors.
The reference design is said to provide a complete solution for a USB Type-C to DisplayPort adaptor, making it easy to communicate with products that do not support USB-C. The reference design comes with schematics, software libraries and stacks, source code, code examples and access to Simplicity Studio development tools. This, says the company, will allow developers to design USB-C cables and adaptors quickly, easily and at minimal cost.
