DETECTION OF DISPLAYPORT ALTERNATE MODE COMMUNICATION AND CONNECTOR PLUG ORIENTATION WITHOUT USE OF A POWER DISTRIBUTION CONTROLLER

Abstract:

This disclosure generally relates to USB TYPE-C, and, in particular, DISPLAYPORT Alternate Mode communication in a USB TYPE-C environment. In one embodiment, a device determines a DISPLAYPORT mode and determines an orientation of a USB TYPE-C connector plug. A multiplexer multiplexes a DISPLAYPORT transmission based in part on the determined orientation of the USB TYPE-C connector plug.
