What is it?

This is a USB PD Sink Trigger / Decoy board with a maximum of 140 W power.

USB-C PD offers the option to negotiate power delivery from a compatible power supply. The USB-C PD-Sink plays the role of a load device, enabling any connected system to be powered from a USB-PB power supply. Any type of power connector can be attached through a 2-pin screw terminal or directly soldered into the PCB for a lower profile. The voltage can be set to 5 V, 12 V, 20 V or 28 V (9 V or 15 V with solder mods), and the current can be set to 1 A, 2 A, 3 A, or 5 A ( 2.5 A or 4A with solder mods) for –FA01. This board has power switching FETs, which have a Rds_on of only 2.2 mOhm measured. 2 TVS diodes on the input and output for over voltage and surge protection. This board has the goal to replace random power adapters with a standardized way to use a USB-C power delivery (USB PD) adapter instead. For regular operation, no programming or software configuration is involved with this design. All options are set through the switches or resistor values. Mounting tabs are separated through a break-off tab (mouse bites) and can be snapped off.

This is a set and forget device. Set your current and voltage needs before plugging the device to your USB-PD source and enjoy the power at the output. This is not a power supply to change voltage and current during operation.

All Features:

• USB-C PD3.1 EPR Power Delivery Sink
• Selector switch S1 for 5 V, 12 V, 20 V or 28 V (9 V or 15 V with solder mods)
• Selector switch S2 for 1 A, 2 A, 3 A, or 5 A ( 2.5 A or 4A with solder mods) for –FA01
• Max current 5 A
• Red LED to indicate status as, power on, voltage or current mismatch, abnormal connector impedance, fault conditions
• Snap off option for mounting tabs
• For fixed voltage and current, the switch could be replaced by solder jumper
• Small form factor to be heat shrinked as part of the power cable
• Size 53 mm x 15 mm (without breakoff tabs, 30 mm wide tabs included)
• Height 12mm with screw terminal and switch, 6mm without.
• Lead free assembly

Why did you make it?

I wanted to provide small form factor, easy to use, no software involved solution.

What makes it special?

The USB-C PD Sink can be built in-line with an existing power cable to make almost every device USB-C PD3.1 compatible.
