Simultaneous Data and Power Transmission
Power can be supplied at the same time as data communication using the USB Type-C connector.
In addition, Alternate Mode is supported for transmitting video signals.
In this way, data transmission, power supply, and video communications are enabled using a single USB terminal, providing a more convenient, easy-to-use, and efficient method.
AlternateMode :
A control mode capable of handling video signals. This eliminates the need for a dedicated video terminal conventionally required in laptops and other devices.
