Abstract

The invention provides a connector receptacle interfacing circuit and a method of operation. A device is equipped with an electrical connector in the form of a receptacle that is subject to liquid intrusion. The device detects the insertion of a mating connector and optionally detects the presence of liquid in the receptacle by applying a low power, pulsed sense signal to a terminal pin of the receptacle while the terminal pin is decoupled from a circuit part to which the terminal pin is normally coupled and concurrently sensing a voltage coupled from the terminal pin and comparing the voltage to at least a predetermined lower voltage bound and optionally a predetermined upper voltage bound and based on the results of those comparison deduces the presence of a mating connector or optionally the presence of liquid in the receptacle.

Description

[0001] field of invention [0002] This specification relates to the interfacing between an electrical plug and a mating socket. More specifically, this specification relates to Universal Serial Bus Type C plug and socket interface connections. Background technique [0003] End devices such as smartphones and tablet computers are often equipped with Universal Serial Bus (USB) sockets. USB receptacles and compatible USB plugs are used to interface to a variety of devices including, for example, laptop computers, printers, data acquisition devices, cameras, flash drives, smartphones, feature phones, desktop computers, music players, Game consoles and game controllers. A cable with USB plugs on both ends is used to facilitate the connection between two different devices equipped with USB sockets. [0004] The latest iteration of the USB standard is called USB Type-C. The USB Type-C standard provides higher speed data transfer. The USB Type-C standard also includes a new hori...
