Hi, I want to use STUSB4500 chip to design USB-type-c interface, In the STEVAL-ISC005V1 evaluation board, I am confused about the functions of D14, R1, and R4. Can you help me? Best regard!

    They would be the VBUS discharge circuit.

    When VBUS is charging up, D4 switches ON and charges the capacitor in a very short time.

    The fluctuations in VBUS will be filtered by the C4 and R1.

    The voltage is monitored with R4.

    During there is a significant drop in the VBUS (cable disconnection, power down transitions, hard reset and error recovery state), the VBUS discharge path is activated on the VBUS_VS_DISC pin.
