A power delivery control module includes a first interface, a second interface and a controller. The first interface is configured to be coupled with a first external device. The second interface is configured to be coupled with a second external device. The second interface is a USB Type-C interface, and the first interface is not a USB Type-C interface. The controller is coupled with the first interface and the second interface. Wherein when the first interface is coupled with the first external device and the second interface is coupled with the second external device, the power delivery control module selectively transfers power from the first external device to the second external device or from the second external device to the first external device.

Reversible connector orientation detection circuitry, reversibly connectible devices having multiple device portions, and methods for determining a connection orientation of multiple device portions of a hardware device are provided herein. A hardware device can include a first device portion and a second device portion. A first resistor can be in a first side of the first device portion. A second resistor can be in a first side of the second device portion, and a third resistor can be in a second side of the second device portion. Connection of the first device portion to the second device portion in different orientations creates, through the resistors, different voltages that can be compared by a digital logic device to indicate orientation. The compared voltages are within either a low voltage range below a digital logic low threshold or a high voltage range above a digital logic high threshold.
