这个网评看起来很欢乐啊。楼上的一些评论也很欢乐。
"This could mean that it's less nefarious than a authentication system, that
it's just for power regulation - but it looks like a serious
microcontroller of some sort, it doesn't look like a garden variety voltage
regulator that I've ever seen. It has a mirror-finish shiny metal exterior
with lasered numbers on it, it does not look like a generic black IC. If it
really costs $3.50 for a lightning plug, then it could be something quite
high tech. Whatever it is, it's expensive and highly miniaturized. And the
cable isn't going to function without it, that I can tell at this point."
按苹果的说法,lightning接口是全数字接口,每个引脚对应一个信号。
USB是用两个数据引脚来传送一个差分信号。USB信号不可能直
接送到lightning接口上,就象USB不能直接和普通的数据总线相联。
那个microcontroller应该是用来在lightning之间和USB之间做数据转换的。
它把lightning上来往的数据,转换成USB数据包。 |
