The ON Semiconductor FUSB302 evaluation board and included software enables customers a full platform to evaluate the Type-C interface detection solution the board offers. The board is created for both stand-alone operation and connection to test equipment for particular testing demands.

The device software offers both fully automatic control and manual control of the board functions. With a single connection to a PC and a couple of configurations in the GUI, the board can function as a source, sink or dual role port. The device is aimed at system designers looking to fulfil a DRP/DFP/UFP USB Type-C connector with low amount of programmability. The board does the USB Type-C detection incorporating attach and orientation. The device combines the physical layer of the USB BMC PD protocol to provide up to 100W of power and role swap. The BMC PD block allows full support for alternative interfaces of the Type-C specification.
