In this case they directly shorted two pins together though. That would give me pause to ask why the two pins existed in the first place. Something that should have led to the conclusion the author reached about the configuration.
- MobileVet 7y agoI personally agree and would have been curious myself. That said, someone with less experience might have just said ‘oh cool, I can be clever and reduce our BOM’ and not given much thought to it.
- michaelt 7y agoThat would give me pause to ask why the two pins existed in the first place. Bear in mind, the USB-C connector is designed to be rotationally symmetric - so you'll start your layout by paralleling up the four ground pins, and the four bus power pins, and the two pins for USB 2.0 negative and the two for USB 2.0 positive. I can understand why it might get overlooked, when someone has paralleled up 12 pins in the last 5 minutes...
- voidwtf 7y agoI can see now how one might end up in the position, still the spec schematic clearly shows two separate resistors. Curious either way :|
