USB-C Splitter pentru Raspberry Pi 4 / BLIKVM

Adaptor USB-C cu trei porturi, bazat pe ghidul BLIKVM USB/PWR Splitter:

  • J1 — conexiune combinată către Raspberry Pi 4 (5 V + USB 2.0);
  • J2 — conexiune USB 2.0 către PC, cu VBUS izolat pentru evitarea backfeed-ului;
  • J3 — intrare de alimentare 5 V;
  • R1, R2 — 10 kΩ de la CC1/CC2 la 5 V pe portul RPI;
  • R3–R6 — 5,1 kΩ de la CC1/CC2 la GND pe porturile USB și PWR.

Avertisment

Circuitul este destinat exclusiv configurației Raspberry Pi 4 descrise de BLIKVM și alimentării la 5 V. Topologia nu este conformă cu specificația USB-C generală și nu trebuie folosită cu alte tensiuni, încărcătoare USB-PD sau echipamente nespecificate.

Questions

How big is the USB C Splitter PCB?

It measures 45 × 32 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the USB C Splitter use?

9 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the USB C Splitter KiCad files?

From the Malikster/USB-C-Splitter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is USB-C-Splitter.kicad_pcb and its schematic USB-C-Splitter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the USB C Splitter design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Malikster before reusing the design.
