///========================= Algorithm ========================/// 

/*
  First, Connect the D+ pin to a voltage 0.325 to 2 volts and keep the D- floating, then wait at least 2 seconds.

  Two actions happen during this 2 seconds:

  The D+ and D- voltage equal a voltage between 0.325 to 2 volts for 1.25 seconds.
  (because the D+ and D- pins connect together inside the CHY100 at first)

  Then the D+ keeps at a voltage between 0.325 to 2 volts and the D- voltage decrease to zero.
  (because the D+ and D- pins disconnect and a resistor inside the CHY100 discharges the D-)*** CHY100 is a QC 2.0 Protocol interface chip inside Power bank/charger ........ other QC 2.0 chips are probably similar 

  Make D+ above 3.0 V first and then connect the D- to a voltage between 0.325 to 2 volts. The VBUS jumps to 9V.

  While keeping the D- connection with a voltage between 0.325 to 2 volts,make D+  a voltage between 0.325 to 2 volts.
  The VBUS jumps to 12V. (because the D+ and D- voltage are between 2V and 0.325V)

  Disconnect the D+ from a voltage between 0.325 to 2 volts . VBUS jumps to 5V, Because the QC2.0 exits Voltage changing
  mode and VBUS goes to the default value 5V. start from beginning when needing to enter QC2.0 again)
*/
//  ============  IMPORTANT NOTE ================  //

// *** Sequence of making pins HIGH and LOW is important
// *** If D+ falls below 0.325V during transition because of wrong GPIO Switching Sequence
// *** QC 2.0 will exit High Voltage Mode and VBUS will go back to 5 Volts 

//  ==============================================  //
