STMicroelectronics STEVAL-CCC002V1

Overview

STEVAL-CCC002V1 from STMicroelectronics is a USB Type-C™ controller evaluation board built around the STUSB1600A, enabling rapid prototyping of full-featured 5 V Type-C ports in source, sink, or dual-role configurations. It integrates VBUS power switches, programmable VCONN (up to 600 mA), Dead Battery mode, and status LEDs. It is pre-configured for 1.5 A current delivery and dual-role operation.

For engineers reviewing the STEVAL-CCC002V1 datasheet, STEVAL-CCC002V1 pinout, STEVAL-CCC002V1 application, or STEVAL-CCC002V1 equivalent, this board supports USB Type-C port validation, firmware configuration via NUCLEO-F072RB, VBUS control logic testing, and CC line signaling analysis in embedded host/peripheral designs.

Technical Context

The board implements the STUSB1600A IC, a USB Type-C 1.2 + ECR-compliant controller with integrated CC line monitoring, role detection, and VBUS path control logic. It supports automatic power role negotiation, VCONN sourcing with configurable current limit, and hardware-based Dead Battery wake-up via CC pins.

All VBUS switching paths (source/sink) are directly driven by the STUSB1600A using discrete N-channel MOSFETs (STL9P3LLH6). Configuration is supported via I²C (SCL/SDA), debug pins (DEBUG1/DEBUG2), and address jumpers (ADDR0), enabling flexible integration with STM32-based debug interfaces.

FAQ

Does STEVAL-CCC002V1 support USB Power Delivery (USB PD)?

No. The board implements only USB Type-C 1.2 + ECR functionality via the STUSB1600A, which lacks USB PD protocol stack, BMC physical layer, or PD message handling. It supports fixed 5 V VBUS with role swapping but no variable voltage negotiation or extended power profiles beyond 1.5 A.

Can STEVAL-CCC002V1 operate without an external MCU or debugger?

Yes. The board is fully functional as a standalone Type-C port with pre-configured jumpers for dual-role operation, Dead Battery mode, and 1.5 A current. LEDs indicate ATTACH, VBUS_VALID, EN_SRC, EN_SNK, and ALERT# states without external host intervention.

What is the purpose of the Arduino-compatible headers on STEVAL-CCC002V1?

These headers provide GPIO, I²C, and debug signal access (SCL, SDA, DEBUG1, DEBUG2, RESET, ALERT#) to enable direct connection with NUCLEO-F072RB or other STM32 boards for firmware configuration, register read/write, and real-time monitoring of CC line activity and port state transitions.

How is VCONN powered and limited on this board?

VCONN is sourced from the +5V rail through a dedicated current-limiting circuit controlled by the STUSB1600A. Its output is programmable up to 600 mA via internal register settings, and the board includes test points (J25) and LED indicators (LD12–LD14) for VCONN status verification during active cable testing.
