Nowadays, there are so many electronic brands on the market, and mobile phone brands are even more numerous. In the past, different brands of mobile phones have different models, and the models of Mobile phone accessories are also varied. Often, this brand of phone is not compatible with accessories from other brands. The situation of Mobile phone accessories "dedicated to special phones" can certainly ensure the uniqueness of the brand's technology, but also has caused users a lot of trouble.

Nowadays, there are so many electronic brands on the market, and mobile phone brands are even more numerous. In the past, different brands of mobile phones have different models, and the models of Mobile phone accessories are also varied. Often, this brand of phone is not compatible with accessories from other brands. The situation of Mobile phone accessories "dedicated to special phones" can certainly ensure the uniqueness of the brand's technology, but also has caused users a lot of trouble.

Let's take the charger as an example. Nowadays, mobile phone brands such as Apple and Huawei are widely used in the market, and due to different brand backgrounds, the technologies used are also different. This has led to the emergence of a wide variety of products in the mobile phone charger market. And they cannot be interchangeable with each other, resulting in consumers being unable to charge their mobile phone batteries in a timely manner in certain special emergency situations such as business trips.

Mobile phone chargers cannot be used across brands, which is a very inconvenient thing for consumers. Is there any way to solve this problem now?

The answer, of course, is yes!

We only need a TypeC data transmission line to solve this problem very well.

So, what exactly is USB TypeC?

I believe you are no stranger to TypeC. Almost all Almost all on the market now use this interface. The advantage of USB TypeC is that it solves the worldwide problem of "USB can never be plugged in", and at the same time, the transmission speed is greatly accelerated. The USB3.1 data transmission speed can reach 10Gbps; Strong power supply capability, USB3.1 TypeC interface can provide up to 100W power output, which means users can achieve bidirectional power supply through Type-C interface, which can charge the device itself and power external devices; Moreover, TypeC can transmit audio and video signals and can be extended to various audio and video output interfaces, such as HDMI, DVI, VGA interfaces, and even achieve 4K resolution expansion. It can be said that the power supply and data transmission functions are integrated. If electronic devices adopt this standard in the future, business users can charge all electronic devices with just one charging cable when traveling. Is it very convenient?

USB TypeC requires corresponding chips to achieve many of the above functions, and there are also multiple chip manufacturers on the market involved in this product, The standard for USB TypeC has been in place since 2014. Traditional USB requires a chip, and traditional PCs also require a chip. After USB TypeC, in addition to USB data transmission, USB PDs also need a chip. To design this function for new USB plugs, signals, and functions, not only does it require an additional PD chip, but every connecting cable also needs a USB chip, The demand for USB TypeC chips will multiply in the future

In addition, if the future plug is converted from a single functional connector to a connector that integrates multiple functions, the power provided by TypeC also needs to be adjustable. The current TypeC data cable can generally provide various powers such as 12w, 45w, 85w, 160w, etc. Before charging, protocol communication is carried out between devices, such as laptops that require
