The STUSB4500L from STMicroelectronics is a small-footprint addition to the Company’s USB-C controller IC family designed and certified for pure 5 V sink-only applications. All mandatory features to use the USB-C connector as a 5 V universal power plug are integrated, allowing...

With a code size of 1KB on an ATtiny13A MCU, this tiny module measures voltages up to 22 volts and current up to 5 amps. This project is published by Tirdad Sadri Nejad. He writes: There are a lot of so-called "USB doctor" modules which are used for monitoring currents flowing through...

PD Micro is the first Arduino-compatible board with USB-C power delivery. The pins are compatible with Pro micro. PD Micro allows you to control high voltage easily from USB-C Power delivery. It’s useful for applications that require voltage higher than 5V - like motor control or a...

USB Type-C introduced significant changes to the USB standard. The reversible connector eliminated the issue of trying to plug the connector in the right way every time. Another issue it addressed was allowing the flexibility to have USB power with an adjustable USB voltage from...

Advancing digitalisation continues to produce huge challenges for businesses across all industries. Businesses want to stay ahead of the curve and remain competitive. System houses, data centers, consultants, and vendors demand solutions that can handle the increased data volume. To...

The EVLSTCH03-45WPD 45W USB Type-C® Power Delivery 3.0 adapter from STMicroelectronics is a USB-IF certified solution and reference design. The EVLSTCH03-45WPD is an isolated ac-dc power supply with a standalone USB PD controller. The board implements at the primary side a...

The USB-C PD-Sink is a board by Pier 42 that enables any device to be powered from a USB supply. It allows the option to set the voltage at 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V or 20V and allowing current as high as 5A. The current settings are very flexible in steps of 250mA from 0 to 5A, but this...

@ZakKemble published another interesting project. This time it is a USB device that aims to keep your power bank from powering down due to low current draw. He writes: Ever wanted to power a project from a USB power bank, only to have it keep shutting itself off because the current...
