Abstract

A USB Type-C module has a plurality of ground pins including a first ground pin, a first configuration pin, a second configuration pin and a detector. The detector is electrically connected to the first ground pin and configured to detect a voltage value at the first ground pin so as to selectively enable a controller to determine a configuration of a corresponding connector via at least one of the first configuration pin and the second configuration pin.
