Hey, I’m Copilot, your AI design assistant. I can help you brainstorm ideas, debug problems, research components, and even make wiring connections for you. Ask me questions like:
@copilot I'm designing a PCB for a medical device that measures heart rate and temperature. Can you give me the list of components I will need?
@copilot How would I connect these parts to make the LED flash at 1kHz?
@copilot can you choose 4 digital pins on the ATMega328P-AU that I have here to use as GPIO given that I am already using some pins for reset, the external clock, UART, and I2C.
Chat with me by tagging @copilot on comments or in the chat.
To convert USB Type-C signals to HDMI, you’ll need to design a circuit that uses a USB Type-C to HDMI converter chipset. USB Type-C can carry video signals via the DisplayPort Alternate Mode, and a converter chipset will handle the translation to HDMI.
Here's a basic outline of what you'll need:
USB Type-C Connector: This is the input that will receive signals from a USB Type-C source. In your project, you already have the USB-C connector designed with pins like DP1, DN1, VBus, and CC1.
USB Type-C to HDMI Converter Chipset: You'll need a chipset that is capable of converting the USB Type-C signals into HDMI. Examples include the MegaChips STDP2600 or similar. This chip will decode DisplayPort signals and re-encode them into HDMI.
HDMI Connector: This will be the output interface that you connect to an HDMI display.
Power Management: You need to ensure that the circuit is sufficiently powered. Utilize the USB VBus for power, but make sure to regulate and distribute power properly to all components.
Decoupling Capacitors and Reference Clock: Make sure to follow the reference circuit of the converter chipset for decoupling capacitors and clock inputs.
Here are some general connections and considerations:
Connect DP1 and DN1 to the converter's DisplayPort inputs.
Connect VBUS to the power management circuit of the converter IC.
Route HDMI-specific signals from the converter IC to the HDMI connector.
Connect CC1 and CC2 for cable orientation detection and power delivery negotiation.
Ground all components properly with connections to GND.
Would you like more detailed guidance on any specific part of the design process?
