Description

過電壓保護電路及C型通用序列匯流排連接器Overvoltage protection circuit and C-type universal serial bus connector

本發明係關於過電壓保護技術,特別是一種適用於C型通用序列匯流排(USB Type-C)連接器的過電壓保護電路以及具備過電壓保護的C型通用序列匯流排連接器。The present invention relates to overvoltage protection technology, in particular to an overvoltage protection circuit suitable for a C-type universal serial bus (USB Type-C) connector and a C-type universal serial bus connector with overvoltage protection.

連接器可用以供兩電子裝置之間進行訊號與電力的傳輸而為各電子裝置上常見的電子零組件。近年來, C型通用序列匯流排(USB Type-C)連接器因能提供超高速的資料傳輸速率,且具有體積上更輕薄短小且插接口成對稱而可正反面插接等優點而廣泛地應用於各電子設備上。The connector can be used for signal and power transmission between two electronic devices and is a common electronic component on each electronic device. In recent years, C-type universal serial bus (USB Type-C) connectors have been widely used because they can provide ultra-high-speed data transmission rates, and have the advantages of being lighter, thinner, shorter, and symmetrical in the plug-in interface. Applied to various electronic devices.

然而,因C型通用序列匯流排連接器中各端子之間的間距非常小,容易因進液或灰塵等異物或使用上插拔不當而引起端子之間的短路。一般而言,C型通用序列匯流排連接器中的匯流排電源端子最高可支持到20伏特的電壓,但緊鄰於匯流排電源端子的配置通道端子僅用以支持約5伏特的電壓。因此,一但匯流排電源端子短路到配置通道端子時,配置通道端子上會出現高電壓,且此高電壓恐將損壞耦接於配置通道端子的下游電路。However, because the distance between the terminals in the C-type universal serial bus connector is very small, it is easy to cause a short circuit between the terminals due to foreign objects such as liquid or dust or improper use of plugging and unplugging. Generally speaking, the bus power terminal in the C-type universal serial bus connector can support a voltage of up to 20 volts, but the configuration channel terminal adjacent to the bus power terminal is only used to support a voltage of about 5 volts. Therefore, once the bus power terminal is short-circuited to the configuration channel terminal, a high voltage will appear on the configuration channel terminal, and this high voltage may damage the downstream circuit coupled to the configuration channel terminal.

Moreover, when detecting that the voltage of the first pin or the voltage of the second pin is greater than the threshold voltage, the detecting unit causes the first switch and the second switch to open.

第1圖為C型通用序列匯流排連接介面上的端子配置之示意圖,且第2圖為C型通用序列匯流排連器之一實施例的概要示意圖。請參閱第1圖與第2圖,C型通用序列匯流排(USB Type-C)連接器100是通用序列匯流排(USB)的一種連接器,無論電纜(圖未示)是以正插方式或反插方式插入,連接於電纜之一端的設備皆可和配備有C型通用序列匯流排連接器100的設備建立正常通訊。在一些實施態樣中,配備有C型通用序列匯流排連接器100的設備可為但不限於手機、筆電、桌上型電腦、行動電源、顯示器等電子設備。Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the terminal configuration on the C-type universal serial bus connection interface, and Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the C-type universal serial bus connector. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2. Type-C Universal Serial Bus (USB Type-C) connector 100 is a connector for Universal Serial Bus (USB), regardless of whether the cable (not shown) is plugged in. Or it can be plugged in reversely, and the device connected to one end of the cable can establish normal communication with the device equipped with the C-type universal serial bus connector 100. In some implementation aspects, the device equipped with the C-type universal serial bus connector 100 may be, but not limited to, electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptops, desktop computers, mobile power supplies, and displays.

C型通用序列匯流排連接器100可包含C型通用序列匯流排連接介面110和控制晶片120,且控制晶片120耦接於C型通用序列匯流排連接介面110。通用序列匯流排連接介面110用以和電纜相接,且控制晶片120用以根據通訊標準控制通用序列匯流排連接介面110。The C-type universal serial bus connector 100 may include a C-type universal serial bus connection interface 110 and a control chip 120, and the control chip 120 is coupled to the C-type universal serial bus connection interface 110. The universal serial bus connection interface 110 is used to connect with a cable, and the control chip 120 is used to control the universal serial bus connection interface 110 according to the communication standard.

在C型通用序列匯流排之規格下,C型通用序列匯流排連接介面110一般具有二十四個端子,分別上排的端子A1-A12以及下排的端子B1-B12。其中,端子A1、端子A12、端子B1與端子B12為接地端子。端子A2、端子A3、端子A10、端子A11、端子B2、端子B3、端子B10與端子B11為超高速差分訊號端子。端子A4、端子A9、端子B4與端子B9為匯流排電源端子。端子A5與端子B5為配置通道端子。端子A8與端子B8為邊帶使用端子。並且,端子A6、端子A7、端子B6與端子B7為差分訊號端子。由於各端子的功能已為本發明技術領域中具有通常知識者所熟知,故不再贅述。Under the specifications of the C-type universal serial bus, the C-type universal serial bus connection interface 110 generally has twenty-four terminals, the upper row of terminals A1-A12 and the lower row of terminals B1-B12, respectively. Among them, the terminal A1, the terminal A12, the terminal B1, and the terminal B12 are ground terminals. Terminal A2, terminal A3, terminal A10, terminal A11, terminal B2, terminal B3, terminal B10, and terminal B11 are ultra-high-speed differential signal terminals. Terminal A4, terminal A9, terminal B4 and terminal B9 are bus power terminals. Terminal A5 and terminal B5 are configuration channel terminals. Terminal A8 and terminal B8 are terminals for sidebands. In addition, the terminal A6, the terminal A7, the terminal B6, and the terminal B7 are differential signal terminals. Since the function of each terminal is already well known by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field of the present invention, it will not be repeated here.

於此,配置通道端子(即端子A5與端子B5)緊鄰於匯流排電源端子(即端子A4與端子B4)。一般而言,匯流排電源端子最高可支持到20伏特(V)的電壓,但配置通道端子(即端子A5與端子B5)僅用以支持約5伏特的電壓。由於各端子之間的間距非常小,C型通用序列匯流排連接器100與電纜連接和斷開的時候很容易發生短路,而使得配置通道端子上出現高電壓,進而損壞控制晶片120中耦接於配置通道端子的下游電路。在一些實施例中,所述的下游電路可為功率配送控制器(PD controller)。Here, the channel terminals (namely, the terminal A5 and the terminal B5) are arranged next to the busbar power terminals (namely, the terminal A4 and the terminal B4). Generally speaking, the bus power terminal can support a voltage of up to 20 volts (V), but the configuration channel terminals (namely, terminals A5 and B5) are only used to support a voltage of about 5 volts. Due to the very small spacing between the terminals, the C-type universal serial bus connector 100 is prone to short-circuit when connecting and disconnecting the cable, which causes high voltage to appear on the terminals of the configuration channel and damages the coupling in the control chip 120. To configure the downstream circuit of the channel terminal. In some embodiments, the downstream circuit may be a power distribution controller (PD controller).

基於此,本發明提供一種適用於C型通用序列匯流排連接器100的過電壓保護電路130以及配備有過電壓保護電路130的C型通用序列匯流排連接器100。C型通用序列匯流排連接器100包含C型通用序列匯流排連接介面110、控制晶片120和過電壓保護電路130。過電壓保護電路130耦接於C型通用序列匯流排連接介面110和控制晶片120之間,且過電壓保護電路130可在C型通用序列匯流排連接介面110的配置通道端子上出現高電壓時斷開配置通道端子和控制晶片120之間的電性連結,以避免配置通道端子上的高電壓對控制晶片120中耦接於配置通道端子的下游電路造成損壞。Based on this, the present invention provides an overvoltage protection circuit 130 suitable for the C-type universal serial bus connector 100 and a C-type universal serial bus connector 100 equipped with the overvoltage protection circuit 130. The C-type universal serial bus connector 100 includes a C-type universal serial bus connection interface 110, a control chip 120 and an overvoltage protection circuit 130. The over-voltage protection circuit 130 is coupled between the C-type universal serial bus connection interface 110 and the control chip 120, and the over-voltage protection circuit 130 can be used when a high voltage appears on the configuration channel terminal of the C-type universal serial bus connection interface 110 The electrical connection between the configuration channel terminal and the control chip 120 is disconnected to prevent the high voltage on the configuration channel terminal from damaging the downstream circuit in the control chip 120 coupled to the configuration channel terminal.

The first configuration channel terminal 111 and the second configuration channel terminal 112 are respectively one of the aforementioned terminals A5 and B5. For example, when the first configuration channel terminal 111 is the terminal A5, the second configuration channel terminal 112 is the terminal B5. Conversely, when the first configuration channel terminal 111 is the terminal B5, the second configuration channel terminal 112 is the terminal A5.

In one embodiment, the over-voltage protection circuit 130 may further include a cable power trace L1. The cable power trace L1 contains three ends. Wherein, the first terminal L1a is connected to the cable power pin 135, the second terminal L1b is used as one of the multiple switching connection points of the first switch 136, and the third terminal L1c is used as the second One of a plurality of switching connection points of the switch 137. In some embodiments, the cable power Vconn can be 5 volts or 3.3 volts. In addition, the cable power trace L1 can withstand at least 300 milliampere (mA) current.

過電壓保護電路130的第一切換開關136具有第一固定端136a與第一切換端136b。第一切換開關136的第一固定端136a固定耦接於過電壓保護電路130的第一連接腳131。第一切換開關136的第一切換端136b則可選擇性地切換於纜線電源接腳135(即,纜線電源走線L1的第二端點L1b)與第三連接腳133之間。The first switch 136 of the overvoltage protection circuit 130 has a first fixed terminal 136a and a first switch terminal 136b. The first fixed terminal 136 a of the first switch 136 is fixedly coupled to the first connection pin 131 of the overvoltage protection circuit 130.

The second fixed terminal 137 a of the second switch 137 is fixedly coupled to the second connection pin 132 of the overvoltage protection circuit 130. The second switching end 137b of the second switch 137 can be selectively switched between the cable power pin 135 (ie, the third end L1c of the cable power trace L1) and the fourth connecting pin 134.

在一實施例中,第一切換開關136可根據控制晶片120輸出的第一控制訊號來選擇切換第一切換端136b至纜線電源接腳135或第三連接腳133。第二切換開關137可根據控制晶片120輸出的第二控制訊號來選擇切換第二切換端137b至纜線電源接腳135或第四連接腳134。舉例而言,當控制晶片120判斷到是C型通用序列匯流排連接介面110的第一配置通道端子111連接到電纜的CC(Channel Configuration)端且第二配置通道端子112連接到電纜中的電子標籤晶片(eMark IC)時,控制晶片120所輸出的第一控制訊號會致使第一切換開關136的第一切換端136b連接於第三連接腳133,且控制晶片120所輸出的第二控制訊號則會致使第二切換開關137的第二切換端137b連接於纜線電源接腳135,以使得纜線電源Vconn可經由過電壓保護電路130的第二連接腳132至C型通用序列匯流排連接介面110的第二配置通道端子112之間的連結路徑向電纜中的電子標籤晶片進行供電。而當控制晶片120判斷到是C型通用序列匯流排連接介面110的第二配置通道端子112連接到電纜的CC端且第一配置通道端子111連接到電纜中的電子標籤晶片時,控制晶片120所輸出的第二控制訊號會致使第二切換開關137的第二切換端137b連接於第四連接腳134,且控制晶片120所輸出的第一控制訊號則會致使第一切換開關136的第一切換端136b連接於纜線電源接腳135,以使得纜線電源Vconn可經由過電壓保護電路130的第一連接腳131至C型通用序列匯流排連接介面110的第一配置通道端子111之間的連結路徑向電纜中的電子標籤晶片進行供電。於此,由於控制晶片120如何判斷是第一配置通道端子111或第二配置通道端子112連接到電纜的CC端已為本技術領域中具有通常知識者所熟知,故不再贅述。In an embodiment, the first switching switch 136 can selectively switch the first switching terminal 136 b to the cable power pin 135 or the third connecting pin 133 according to the first control signal output by the control chip 120. The second switch 137 can selectively switch the second switch terminal 137b to the cable power pin 135 or the fourth connection pin 134 according to the second control signal output by the control chip 120. For example, when the control chip 120 determines that it is a C-type universal serial bus connection interface 110, the first configuration channel terminal 111 is connected to the CC (Channel Configuration) end of the cable and the second configuration channel terminal 112 is connected to the electronics in the cable. In the case of a label chip (eMark IC), the first control signal output by the control chip 120 causes the first switching terminal 136b of the first switch 136 to be connected to the third connection pin 133, and the second control signal output by the control chip 120 This causes the second switching end 137b of the second switch 137 to be connected to the cable power pin 135, so that the cable power Vconn can be connected to the C-type universal serial bus via the second connection pin 132 of the overvoltage protection circuit 130 The connection path between the second configuration channel terminals 112 of the interface 110 supplies power to the electronic label chip in the cable. When the control chip 120 determines that the second configuration channel terminal 112 of the C-type universal serial bus connection interface 110 is connected to the CC end of the cable and the first configuration channel terminal 111 is connected to the electronic label chip in the cable, the control chip 120 The output second control signal will cause the second switching terminal 137b of the second switch 137 to be connected to the fourth connection pin 134, and the first control signal output by the control chip 120 will cause the first switch 136 of the first switch 136 The switching terminal 136b is connected to the cable power pin 135, so that the cable power Vconn can pass through the first connection pin 131 of the overvoltage protection circuit 130 to the first configuration channel terminal 111 of the C-type universal serial bus connection interface 110 The connection path of the cable supplies power to the electronic label chip in the cable. Here, since how the control chip 120 determines whether the first configuration channel terminal 111 or the second configuration channel terminal 112 is connected to the CC end of the cable is well known to those with ordinary knowledge in the art, it will not be repeated.

需注意的是,於本發明之實施例中,纜線電源Vconn僅需通過一個切換開關便可輸出到C型通用序列匯流排連接介面110,例如,纜線電源Vconn可經由第一切換開關136輸出到C型通用序列匯流排連接介面110,或者經由第二切換開關137輸出到C型通用序列匯流排連接介面110。然而,在包含通用序列匯流排連接介面210、控制晶片220與過電壓保護電路230的傳統C型通用序列匯流排連器200中,如第3圖所示,纜線電源Vconn則需通過兩個開關才可輸出到C型通用序列匯流排連接介面210。例如,纜線電源Vconn需先通過切換開關221到過電壓保護電路230後,再通過開關231輸出到C型通用序列匯流排連接介面210的第一配置通道端子211。又例如,需先通過切換開關222到過電壓保護電路230後,再通過開關232輸出到C型通用序列匯流排連接介面210的第二配置通道端子212。因此,相較於傳統C型通用序列匯流排連接器200的架構,本發明所輸出的纜線電源Vconn之壓降可較小。It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the cable power Vconn can be output to the C-type universal serial bus connection interface 110 through only a switch. For example, the cable power Vconn can be output through the first switch 136. Output to the C-type universal serial bus connection interface 110, or output to the C-type universal serial bus connection interface 110 via the second switch 137. However, in the conventional C-type universal serial bus connector 200 including the universal serial bus connection interface 210, the control chip 220 and the overvoltage protection circuit 230, as shown in Figure 3, the cable power supply Vconn needs to pass through two The switch can be output to the C-type universal serial bus connection interface 210. For example, the cable power supply Vconn needs to pass through the switch 221 to the overvoltage protection circuit 230, and then output to the first configuration channel terminal 211 of the C-type universal serial bus connection interface 210 through the switch 231. For another example, it is necessary to first pass the switch 222 to the overvoltage protection circuit 230, and then output to the second configuration channel terminal 212 of the C-type universal serial bus connection interface 210 through the switch 232. Therefore, compared with the structure of the traditional C-type universal serial bus connector 200, the voltage drop of the cable power supply Vconn output by the present invention can be smaller.

過電壓保護電路130的偵測單元138耦接於第一連接腳131與第二連接腳132,且偵測單元138可用以偵測第一連接腳131上的第一接腳電壓以及第二連接腳132上的第二接腳電壓。並且,於偵測到第一接腳電壓大於閥值電壓或第二接腳電壓大於閥值電壓時,偵測單元138會致使第一切換開關136和第二切換開關137開路,例如致使第一切換開關136的第一切換端136b不連接於纜線電源接腳135也不連接於第三連接腳133,並致使第二切換開關137的第二切換端137b不連接於纜線電源接腳135也不連接於第四連接腳134,以藉此避免高電壓損壞下游電路。因此,過電壓保護電路130中的第一切換開關136和第二切換開關137除提供路徑切換功能外,更提供了過電壓防護功能。The detection unit 138 of the overvoltage protection circuit 130 is coupled to the first connection pin 131 and the second connection pin 132, and the detection unit 138 can be used to detect the first pin voltage and the second connection on the first connection pin 131 The second pin voltage on pin 132. Moreover, when it is detected that the voltage of the first pin is greater than the threshold voltage or the voltage of the second pin is greater than the threshold voltage, the detection unit 138 will cause the first switch 136 and the second switch 137 to open, for example, causing the first switch 136 and the second switch 137 to open. The first switching terminal 136b of the switch 136 is neither connected to the cable power pin 135 nor connected to the third connection pin 133, so that the second switching terminal 137b of the second switch 137 is not connected to the cable power pin 135 It is also not connected to the fourth connecting pin 134, so as to prevent high voltage from damaging the downstream circuit. Therefore, the first switch 136 and the second switch 137 in the overvoltage protection circuit 130 not only provide a path switching function, but also provide an overvoltage protection function.

在一些實施態樣中,閥值電壓大致上可為6伏特。但本發明並非以此為限,閥值電壓可視耦接於過電壓保護電路130之第三連接腳133及/或第四連接腳134的下游電路之最大耐壓而定。In some embodiments, the threshold voltage may be approximately 6 volts. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The threshold voltage may be determined by the maximum withstand voltage of the downstream circuit coupled to the third connection pin 133 and/or the fourth connection pin 134 of the overvoltage protection circuit 130.

在一實施例中,控制晶片120可包含第一配置通道接腳CC1、第二配置通道接腳CC2、第三切換開關121以及配置通道邏輯控制單元122。In an embodiment, the control chip 120 may include a first configuration channel pin CC1, a second configuration channel pin CC2, a third switch 121, and a configuration channel logic control unit 122.

控制晶片120的第一配置通道接腳CC1可用以耦接過電壓保護電路130的第三連接腳133,例如透過第三連接線143進行連接。控制晶片120的第二配置通道接腳CC2可用以耦接過電壓保護電路130的第四連接腳134,例如透過第四連接線144進行連接。The first configuration channel pin CC1 of the control chip 120 can be used to couple to the third connection pin 133 of the overvoltage protection circuit 130, for example, through the third connection line 143. The second configuration channel pin CC2 of the control chip 120 can be used to couple to the fourth connection pin 134 of the overvoltage protection circuit 130, for example, through the fourth connection line 144.

控制晶片120的第三開關121具有第三固定端121a與第三切換端121b。第三開關121的第三固定端121a固定耦接於配置通道邏輯控制單元122,且第三開關121的第三切換端121b可選擇性地切換於第一配置通道接腳CC1和第二配置通道接腳CC2之間。The third switch 121 of the control chip 120 has a third fixed end 121a and a third switching end 121b. The third fixed terminal 121a of the third switch 121 is fixedly coupled to the configuration channel logic control unit 122, and the third switching terminal 121b of the third switch 121 can be selectively switched between the first configuration channel pin CC1 and the second configuration channel Between pins CC2.

配置通道邏輯控制單元122可用以控制第三開關121之第三切換端121b的切換,以藉由第三切換端121b的切換來利用第一配置通道接腳CC1和第二配置通道接腳CC2上的訊號。例如,配置通道邏輯控制單元122可根據第一配置通道接腳CC1及/或第二配置通道接腳CC2上的訊號來得知電纜是以正插或反插方式插入C型通用序列匯流排連接器100。又例如,配置通道邏輯控制單元122可透過第一配置通道接腳CC1及/或第二配置通道接腳CC2傳輸訊號。於此,因配置通道邏輯控制單元122的功能已為本技術領域中具有通常知識者所熟知,故不再贅述。The configuration channel logic control unit 122 can be used to control the switching of the third switching terminal 121b of the third switch 121 to utilize the first configuration channel pin CC1 and the second configuration channel pin CC2 by switching the third switch terminal 121b. Signal. For example, the configuration channel logic control unit 122 can know whether the cable is inserted into the C-type universal serial bus connector in a forward or reverse way according to the signal on the first configuration channel pin CC1 and/or the second configuration channel pin CC2 100. For another example, the configuration channel logic control unit 122 can transmit signals through the first configuration channel pin CC1 and/or the second configuration channel pin CC2. Herein, since the function of configuring the channel logic control unit 122 is already well known to those with ordinary knowledge in the art, it will not be repeated here.

需注意的是,由於纜線電源Vconn之輸出路徑的切換已配置於過電壓保護電路130中,因此在本發明之控制晶片120中便不需再配置纜線電源接腳、纜線電源走線以及用於切換纜線電源路徑的切換開關。如此一來,經由第一配置通道接腳CC1或第二配置通道接腳CC2輸入至配置通道邏輯控制單元122的訊號,或由配置通道邏輯控制單元122輸出至第一配置通道接腳CC1或第二配置通道接腳CC2的訊號,皆僅需通過一個切換開關(即,第三切換開關121)。然而,在傳統C型通用序列匯流排連器200中,經由控制晶片220之接腳輸入至配置通道邏輯控制單元224的訊號則需通過二個切換開關。例如,如第3圖所示,需通過切換開關221與切換開關223,或者是通過切換開關222與切換開關223。It should be noted that since the switching of the output path of the cable power supply Vconn is already configured in the over-voltage protection circuit 130, there is no need to configure the cable power supply pins and the cable power supply wiring in the control chip 120 of the present invention. And a switch for switching the power path of the cable. In this way, the signal input to the configuration channel logic control unit 122 via the first configuration channel pin CC1 or the second configuration channel pin CC2, or the configuration channel logic control unit 122 outputs to the first configuration channel pin CC1 or the first configuration channel pin CC1 or The signals of the two configuration channel pins CC2 all only need to pass through one switch (ie, the third switch 121). However, in the conventional C-type universal serial bus connector 200, the signal input to the configuration channel logic control unit 224 via the pins of the control chip 220 needs to pass through two switches. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, it is necessary to pass through the switch 221 and the switch 223, or through the switch 222 and the switch 223.

在一些實施例中,過電壓保護電路130和控制晶片120是分別透過不同的積體電路製程技術來製成的晶片。於此,由於在過電壓保護電路130中配置了用以接收纜線電源Vconn的纜線電源接腳135與纜線電源走線L1,因此過電壓保護電路130可以能耐纜線電源Vconn之電壓的微米製程技術來製成。而由於控制晶片120中並不需要配置纜線電源接腳與纜線電源走線,因此控制晶片120可以較先進的製程,例如以奈米製程技術來製成。In some embodiments, the over-voltage protection circuit 130 and the control chip 120 are chips manufactured through different integrated circuit manufacturing technologies. Here, since the cable power pin 135 for receiving the cable power Vconn and the cable power trace L1 are configured in the overvoltage protection circuit 130, the overvoltage protection circuit 130 can withstand the voltage of the cable power Vconn. Made by micron process technology. Since the control chip 120 does not need to be equipped with cable power pins and cable power traces, the control chip 120 can be manufactured by a more advanced manufacturing process, such as nano-process technology.

在一些實施態樣中,過電壓保護電路130可以0.35微米製程技術來製成。並且,控制晶片120可以40奈米製程技術來製成。In some embodiments, the over-voltage protection circuit 130 can be made with 0.35 micron process technology. In addition, the control chip 120 can be made with 40nm process technology.

綜上所述,本發明之實施例提供一種過電壓保護電路以及C型通用序列匯流排連接器,其利用偵測單元偵測第一連接腳上的第一接腳電壓或第二連接腳上的第二接腳電壓,以於偵測到第一接腳電壓或第二接腳電壓大於閥值電壓時開路第一切換開關與第二切換開關,進而可避免高電壓損壞下游電路。此外,本發明之實施例是將纜線電源接腳設置於以微米製程技術製成的過電壓保護電路中。因此,本案之控制晶片並不需要配置纜線電源接腳與纜線電源走線,而能以較先進的製程來製成,例如以奈米製程技術來製成,進而使得控制晶片具有較小的面積與較低的製作成本。再者,本發明之實施例中的纜線電源僅需通過一個切換開關便可輸出到C型通用序列匯流排連接介面,因此纜線電源的壓降較傳統架構可更小。In summary, the embodiments of the present invention provide an overvoltage protection circuit and a C-type universal serial bus connector, which uses a detection unit to detect the voltage on the first pin or the voltage on the second pin The voltage of the second pin is used to open the first switch and the second switch when it is detected that the voltage of the first pin or the voltage of the second pin is greater than the threshold voltage, so as to prevent the high voltage from damaging the downstream circuit. In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, the cable power pin is arranged in an overvoltage protection circuit made with micron process technology. Therefore, the control chip in this case does not need to be equipped with cable power pins and cable power traces, but can be made with a more advanced process, such as nano-process technology, so that the control chip has a smaller size. Large area and low production cost. Furthermore, the cable power supply in the embodiment of the present invention can be output to the C-type universal serial bus connection interface through a switch, so the voltage drop of the cable power supply can be smaller than that of the traditional architecture.

本發明之實施例揭露如上,然其並非用以限定本發明的範圍,任何所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者,在不脫離本發明實施例之精神和範圍內,當可做些許的更動與潤飾,因此本發明之保護範圍當視後附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。The embodiments of the present invention are disclosed as above, but they are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Anyone with ordinary knowledge in the technical field can make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the embodiments of the present invention.
