## Overview

The SparkFun Power Delivery Board is a versatile USB-C power management solution supporting 5-20V output voltages and up to 100W power delivery. Featuring the STUSB4500 controller, it autonomously negotiates power contracts over USB-PD, enabling efficient, high-current delivery up to 5A. Designed for easy integration with SparkFun’s Qwiic system, it requires no soldering and supports reversible USB-C connections, making it ideal for professional developers seeking flexible, reliable power distribution in their projects.

## Description

It's time to effectively manage the power distribution into your project and with the SparkFun Power Delivery Board, you can! Traditional power adapters can provide a wide range of current but the voltage stays fixed at 5V. With the SparkFun Power Delivery Board's USB-C connection it has the ability to achieve higher voltages, typically 5-20V and up to 100W of power. The Power Delivery Board uses a standalone controller to negotiate with the power adapters and have them switch to a higher voltage other than just 5V. This uses the same power adapter for different projects rather than relying on multiple power adapters to provide different output voltages. The board is also part of SparkFun’s Qwiic connect system, so you won’t have to do any soldering to figure out how things are oriented.The SparkFun Power Delivery Board takes advantage of the power delivery standard with the use of a standalone controller from STMicroelectronics, the STUSB4500. The STUSB4500 is a USB power delivery controller that addresses sink devices. It implements a proprietary algorithm to allow the negotiation of a power delivery contract with a source (i.e. a power delivery wall wart or power adapter) without the need for an external microcontroller, although you will need a microcontroller to configure the board. PDO profiles are configured in an integrated non-volatile memory. The controller does all the heavy lifting of power negotiation and provides an easy way to configure over I2C.To configure the board, you will need an I2C bus. The Qwiic system makes it easy to connect the Power Delivery board to a microcontroller. Depending on your application, you can also connect to the I2C bus via the plated through holes for SDA and SCL.You will also need a USB Type-C power adapter that supports power delivery and a power delivery Type-C cable which has thicker power wires in the cable. Will minimize voltage drops across the cable and heat up less under high current loads.

Review: Read the datasheet — no PPS voltage control; eval fixed-function adapters first - In basic USB-PD, the power source tells the power sink — this board — “I supply up to 5V@3A, 9V@3A, 12V@2.5A, 15V@2A, or 20V@1.5A; pick one.” This board is great at managing that. To fast-charge a phone battery pack, your phone needs to carry around the electronics to convert 12V@2A to varying voltage/constant current for each cell. Worse, the voltage/current converter circuitry creates heat itself, next to the battery. High battery temperature limits charge speed, which was the whole problem in the first place. Modern USB-PD power sources may include a feature called PPS, which advertises “I can supply 4.50V–12.00V at up to 3.00A; tell me the precise voltage you want, and update me as it changes.” That moves fine control over charge power from the phone to the source, which can heat up all it wants, without heating the battery. 30W chargers with PPS are much cheaper than this board. And there would be a *lot* of uses for those PPD chargers — everything from benchtop power supplies, to continuously-variable-speed fan/pump control to lighting. You just need a board which speaks PPS. Foolishly, I assumed SparkFun had picked a USB-PD chip which speaks PPS, because why make an expensive, configurable board but omit that feature? Probably because this is an old board and chip, from before PPS standardization. Today, you can get fixed-configuration 5/9/12/15/20V “USB-PD to pigtail” adapters for a fraction of this board’s price. So read the datasheet first, and make sure this board solves your problem better than a fixed-voltage USB-PD adapter.
