Abstract
A Power Provider is described which comprises a pull-up resistive device to pull-up a sideband unit (SBU) pin; and logic to adjust voltage level on a power supply node (VBUS) according to the voltage and/or current condition on the SBU pin. A Power Consumer is described which comprises: logic to modulate voltage and/or current on SBU pin; and logic to receive a power supply on a power supply node (VBUS) according to the modulated voltage and/or current on the SBU pin. A USB system is described which comprises: a power provider having a first SBU pin which is pulled high; a power consumer having a second SBU pin, wherein the power consumer is operable to modulate voltage/current on the second SBU pin; and a USB Type-C cable coupled to the power provider and the power consumer such that the first and second SBU pins are electrically connected.
