Usb Type C Power Delivery Trigger Board

Usb type c connector is today being used by many devices.

Usb type c power delivery trigger board.

Pd buddy sink is a smart power jack for usb power delivery. This has led many to modify their ts 100 soldering irons to accept the connector. Such boards are used to output 5v 9v 12v 15v or even 20v from a power delivery compatible power source. Both sides are up.

Configure it with the voltage and current your project needs then plug it into any usb pd power supply with a high enough power capability. So i will be showing you how such a commercial board wo. Since it is reversible it can be plugged into a device any which way. Usb pd or usb c power delivery is a new protocol specification that allows for faster and more flexible charging.

In this video we will have a closer look at a usb type c power delivery trigger board. Usb c has its special power delivery standard and is capable of delivering plenty of juice to attached hardware. Determine or advertise type c power levels 5 v at 0 5 1 5 or 3 0 a use bmc communication to negotiate usb power delivery explicit contracts up to 20 v and 5 a 100 w of power negotiate alternate modes to reuse the pins in the type c connector for other purposes. It was developed concurrently with usb type c usb c which is the physical connection and it is a subset of the new usb 3 1 standards.

Used to build a power supply from usb c. Diy usb type c power delivery trigger board. However with a ravpower usb c superc series 26800mah portable battery bank the battery bank will negotiate 20v for about 30 seconds and then drop down to 5v defeating the purpose of this board. Usb power delivery is a separate specification that can work across usb 2 0 and 3 0 ports and cables but you ll still need a usb type c port too due to the communication pins used by the standard.

All design files are available on github and are open source. It negotiates with the power supply and turns on its output giving your project up to 3 a at 5 9 or 15 v and up to 5 a at 20 v.
