HD3SS460EVM-SRC: USB-C port ALT mode design

Part Number: HD3SS460EVM-SRC
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMUXHS4446EVM

Tool/software:

Hi,

I wish to present USB + DP to a type-C connector in a host system. This will be primarily used to connect to a display but we will include USB signals also.

In our testing we used the above EVM and connected a DP monitor to the USB-C connector. This damaged the monitor. I'm not sure if this is due to the missing capacitors as mentioned in section 3 of the user guide "The EVM does not have AC capacitors as the EVM is intended to be used with systems that have capacitors placed per the corresponding interface specification"? Or is it the case that this device needs a PD controller in order to work correctly? Can you clarify / recommend something. 

NB: we do not need to charge from this port so simply providing the bare minimum power to the port is preferred
