CM4 USB-C Wiring


need help wiring his up for a CM4 carrier board
I’ll check this connector’s exact 16-pin mapping, then propose the correct CM4 carrier wiring for power, USB 2.0 data, CC resistors, and protection. The key choice is whether this port is power input, CM4 USB device/OTG, or both.
For a CM4 carrier, this 16-pin USB-C connector supports USB 2.0 only—not USB 3.x SuperSpeed.
Recommended wiring for a USB-C power + CM4 USB device/OTG port:
  • Pins 2 + 11 VBUS → protected USB_VBUS_5V
  • Pins 1 + 12 GND → GND
  • Pins 6 DP1 + 8 DP2 → join together → CM4 USB_OTG_DP
  • Pins 5 DN2 + 7 DN1 → join together → CM4 USB_OTG_DN
  • Pin 4 CC1 → 5.1 kΩ to GND
  • Pin 10 CC2 → separate 5.1 kΩ to GND
  • Pins 3 SBU2 + 9 SBU1 → no-connect
  • Pins 13–16 SHELL → chassis/shield ground, preferably through the board’s chosen shield-ground strategy
Add a USB-rated ESD protector near the connector on D+/D−, plus VBUS protection/current limiting. Do not connect USB VBUS directly to the CM4’s 5 V rail if the carrier may also be externally powered; use a power-path/load switch to prevent backfeeding.
I only have comment access to this connector project, so I cannot wire it here. Also confirm whether this port should power the whole carrier or only provide CM4 USB device/boot access—the power-path circuit differs.
