USB2.0 D+ D- pass-through. ![Changing](https://github.com/CentyLab/AP33772-Cpp/assets/48141945/cdb3923d-caaf-4786-b9aa-8ff663ccf6de) ### What is included - 1x PPSTrigger V1.2 - 1x Screw terminal 5mm - 2x Screw M2x6mm ### Specification Tested USB PD3.0 and USB PD+PPS from **3.3V to 20V @ 5A continuous**. Actual voltage and current output depend on your charger. This device can quest **5V @ 5A** from compatible charger. Please check the recommended charger if you don't already have one. ![ComparisionTable|300x300](https://cdn.hackaday.io/images/6826591742937688998.png) ### How to use the board - Default (no jumper): Always able to adjust voltage through potentiometer - 5V jumper: Request constant 5V - 9V jumper: Request constant 9V - 12V jumper: Request constant 12V - 15V jumper: Request constant 15V - 20V jumper: Request constant 20V - Pot jumper: Read the potentiometer at start-up and request this voltage. Voltage is not changeable during normal operation The board will prioritize PPS protocol first before request using the fix voltage PDOs. This mean a 100W charger with 3A max PPS profile, 20V profile will be requested as 20V@3A instead of 20V@5A. ### Recommended/Tested USB-C Charger - [UGREEN 100W](https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-100W-USB-Multiport-Charger/dp/B091Z6JNX4) - PPS 3.3 - 21.0 @ 3A - [ANKER 737](https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charger-GaNPrime-Compact-Foldable/dp/B09W2N774C/ref=sr_1_2?hvadid=664480320896&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9032948&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=4790283387650635545&hvtargid=kwd-1707731256195&hydadcr=3617_13689834&keywords=anker+737+charger+ganprime+120w&qid=1702342832&sr=8-2&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.17d9e15d-4e43-4581-b373-0e5c1a776d5d) (GaN Prime 120W) - PPS 3.3 - 11.0 @ 3A - [UGREEN 140W](https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Charger-Nexode-Compatible-MacBook/dp/B0B129DM9T/ref=pd_lpo_sccl_1/144-3115323-5349211?pd_rd_w=uhfWx&content-id=amzn1.sym.116f529c-aa4d-4763-b2b6-4d614ec7dc00&pf_rd_p=116f529c-aa4d-4763-b2b6-4d614ec7dc00&pf_rd_r=Y7YSEXJKTEXDACENRR64&pd_rd_wg=NHqxJ&pd_rd_r=8d134cef-86d5-44e0-a1d9-f381b43e0b89&pd_rd_i=B0B129DM9T&psc=1) - PPS 3.3 - 21.0 @ 5A - [AOHI Magcube 140W](https://www.amazon.com/AOHI-Magcube-Charger-MacBook-Foldable/dp/B0C4GWH7KL/ref=sr_1_6?crid=1I81UMKXJ7MYJ&keywords=USB%2BPD%2B3.1%2Bcharger&qid=1701812867&s=electronics&sprefix=usb%2Bpd%2B3.1%2Bcharge%2Celectronics%2C152&sr=1-6&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.17d9e15d-4e43-4581-b373-0e5c1a776d5d&th=1) - PPS 3.3 - 21.0 @ 5A - Anker 737 Power Bank - PPS 3.3 - 21.0 @ 5A Many Anker charger/power banks do not include PPS capability in their marketing document.
