 I am new to hardware design and would greatly appreciate pointers. We intend to use mini-USB port for charging/power supply rather than for data. What is the best way to terminate the unused mini-USB D+/D- lines - float or grounding them? </description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 18 Sep 2014 13:10:44 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/3476/mini-usb-data-lines" /><item><title>RE: Mini-USB data lines</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/12583?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 18 Sep 2014 13:10:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:f7bf15a7-57e4-4da2-b74f-34a1fdb26a44</guid><dc:creator>Asbj&amp;#248;rn</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;You can leave them floating or you can terminate them, if you are only using the USB interface for charging, it doesn&amp;#39;t initially matter. But, some phone/tablet manufacturers puts voltage dividers on the data line in order to recognize a certain charger. So depending on what you want to charge, I would recommend to have a little look around google for USB charging whatever you are charging.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
