I have been wanting to veer away from older USB connectors and start using USB Type-C receptacles in future designs but the standard is quite confusing as a hobbyist.
Searching the internet I see that you can use 5.1k ohm pull-down resistors on the CC pins and this will allow the standard 5V (some places say 100 mA, while others say 150 mA or 1.5A).
Since I can't find any solid (at least for me) answer, I will ask the question here...will the schematic below ensure that only 5V is provided if the user connects the device to a USB-C PD compliant PSU? Will this design allow use of both USB-A to USB-C and USB-C to USB-C cables?
My main concern is it could randomly jump to 12V, 18V, or 20V and fry the circuitry.
