With PPSTrigger, you can request even 5V@5A for your Pi or 4.2V @ 1A current limit for CC/CV charge curve! ![Render](https://cdn.hackaday.io/images/3411581737436413628.png) **Download:** [**User Manual for PPSTriggerV2.2**]() **Download:** [**User Manual for PPSTriggerV2.0**](https://cdn.hackaday.io/files/1951308348441920/User%20Manual%20for%20PPSTriggerV2.pdf) ### Specification USB-C Trigger for fixed PDOs, or PPS with Constant Voltage or Constant Current mode. The operating trigger range is **3.3V-21V @ 5A max**. ![ComparisionTable](https://cdn.hackaday.io/images/6826591742937688998.png) Note: The potentiometer on PPSTrigger board are 1 turn BOURNS P/N 3314J-1-203E. If you would like finer adjustment, we suggest 5 turns BOURNS P/N 3214J-1-103E that share the same footprint. Or you can always jump wire to a much larger potentiometer. ### Application * Constant Current/Constant Voltage battery charger. Do not leave battery charge unattended. * LED driver with constant current limit. #### How to use the board Ensure your charger support PPS profile for full support for CV/CC limit. Check out this [**List of Charger**](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GEjp-SniReCE8oz4GDU72bSTP5lhs4MCLO-Coz78AeY/edit?usp=sharing) for capability. * Default (no jumper): CV mode. Max voltage is set by the potentiometer. Maximum current rated for cable/power supply. * 1A jumper: Set current limit at 1A. Max voltage is set by the potentiometer. * 1.5A jumper: Set current limit at 1.5A. Max voltage is set by the potentiometer. * 2A jumper: Set current limit at 2A. Max voltage is set by the potentiometer. * 2.5A jumper: Set current limit at 2.5A. Max voltage is set by the potentiometer. * 3A jumper: Set current limit at 3A. Max voltage is set by the potentiometer. * 4A jumper: Set current limit at 4A. Max voltage is set by the potentiometer. When current limit is selected through the jumper, if the power supply does not support PPS mode, there will be no power at the output. This is a sanity check for CC mode. **CC: Constant Current Mode** **CV: Constant Voltage Mode** ### Important note Most modern USB-C chargers support PPS. Through our small sample size that includes powerbank/charger from Anker, Ugreen, and Baseus, here is our recommendation for getting Constant Current mode out of the box: * [UGREEN 100W USB PD 3.0](https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-100W-USB-Multiport-Charger/dp/B091Z6JNX4) * [UGREEN 140W USB PD 3.1](https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Charger-Nexode-Compatible-MacBook/dp/B0B129DM9T) * [UGREEN 160W USB PD 3.1](https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Charger-Compact-MacBook-Pixelbook/dp/B0CCVPB4PC) * [Anker 737 GaNPrime 120W](https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charger-GaNPrime-Compact-Foldable/dp/B09W2N774C) * [Anker 737 PowerCore 24K](https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-Portable-Charger-Compatible/dp/B09VPHVT2Z) In CC (current limit) mode, only the PPS profile is activated, if there is no PPS profile, the output is turned off. In CV (constant voltage) mode, the trigger board will try to utilize the PPS profile if it exists before using the standard fixed profile to provide the requested voltage from the potentiometer. ### Dimension ![Dimension](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2c6f48aa-3200-4e8d-8e94-fd4f27a8699f) ### Power Supply 3D Base ![Base3D](https://cdn.hackaday.io/images/7479541737617914756.png) Download base [STL file](https://cdn.hackaday.io/files/1939338297229472/PPSTriggerCase1.2V.stl) and order the [voltmeter on Aliexpress](https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804668835585.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.9.3e98QkAFQkAFNb&algo_pvid=9737d076-ff12-4f11-8490-6d54ea2f7f90&algo_exp_id=9737d076-ff12-4f11-8490-6d54ea2f7f90-4&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22order%22%3A%22996%22%2C%22eval%22%3A%221%22%7D&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21USD%210.98%210.98%21%21%210.98%210.98%21%402103205217376181878258304ef838%2112000030761829489%21sea%21US%211861787447%21X&curPageLogUid=EhvfCSQ4p1pO&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A) ![Base3D](https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/US7c004fb03ce9ed/design/2025-04-24_e9f5eae13f036.jpg?x-oss-process=image/resize,w_1000/format,webp) Case for [PS2 Slim Adapter - Makerworld](https://makerworld.com/en/models/1354134-shell-for-centylab-pps-pd-trigger-board#profileId-1397373) ### Example application Direct high wattage LED drive without series resistor ![high wattage LEDs](https://cdn.hackaday.io/images/3583241719625877985.jpg "high wattage LEDs") ![high wattage LED](https://cdn.hackaday.io/images/3297371719625848637.JPG "high wattage LED") ## Shipping policy Ship from our warehouse in China.
