The aek usb 2typec1 automotive grade usb type c and power delivery dual port expansion board is part of the st autodevkit development initiative.
Usb type c power delivery board.
It embeds two stusb1702y usb type c port controllers for a two port provider solution.
In these examples we ll connect our power delivery board to a redboard qwiic using a qwiic cable.
Unlike competitors who use a dedicated processor to execute power delivery firmware our usb type c shield uses a kinetis arm mcu to execute power delivery firmware providing tremendous bom reduction and software development flexibility.
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.
This has led many to modify their ts 100 soldering irons to accept the connector.
So i will be showing you how such a commercial board wo.
The type c power adapter used in these examples is an apple 87w usb c power adapter which has an output of 20 3v 4 3a or 14 5v 2a or 9v 3a or 5 2v 2 4a.
Such boards are used to output 5v 9v 12v 15v or even 20v from a power delivery compatible power source.
The usb type c shield board includes a usb 3 1 signal conditioning product a high voltage vbus power.
All design files are available on github and are open source.
Usb c has its special power delivery standard and is capable of delivering plenty of juice to attached hardware.
Traditional power adapters can provide a wide range of current but the voltage stays fixed at 5v.
