EP#158: Jason Cerundolo of Reclaimer Labs

  • Jason Cerundolo
    • An engineer experienced in mechanical, electrical, and firmware engineering
    • Jason has over nine years of experience as a hardware engineer and working on electronic designs in Silicon Valley
    • In his free time, he works on open source projects, such as USB Type-C tools and projects
  • USB Type-C Power Delivery PHY Breakout Board
    • A breakout board for the FUSB302
      • USB-PD PHY for BMC communication used in USB-C connectors
    • Determine plug orientation (normal or reversed)
    • Determine or advertise Type-C power levels (5 V at 0.5, 1.5, or 3.0 A)
    • Use BMC communication to negotiate USB Power Delivery Explicit Contracts up to 20 V and 5 A (100 W of power)
    • Negotiate Alternate Modes to reuse the pins in the Type-C connector for other purposes
  • One of the problems that I always run into with USB designs is the “Am I doing this right?”
    • Testing, debugging, and evaluation
  • What is a good place to start if a hardware designer wants to get into USB Type-C?
  • Quick hardware layout tips for USB signals
    • Standard high speed signal routing applies
    • For USB 2.0 just keeping them the same length should be enough
    • For Superspeed USB 3.0+ length matching for each pair is more important

MacroFab will be at SXSW. We are teaming up with Particle.io to put together a Hardware Happy Hour. It will take place on Friday March 8th from 4PM until 8PM at the super cool Jester King Brewery. Check the show notes for full details and to RSVP. Join us for lite bites and refreshments, network with fellow Hardware nerds and kick off SXSW.
