PicoPD Pro – Elevating USB-C Power Delivery

PicoPD Pro is an innovative power conversion device compatible with the USB-C Power Delivery 3.1 (PD3.1) standard. It supports features like Programmable Power Supply (PPS) and Extended Power Range (EPR), leveraging the RP2040 microcontroller to deliver up to 30V output and 5A continuous current. Designed for USB-C devices, it ensures high efficiency and flexibility while offering precision power management through Adjustable Voltage Supply (AVS) mode.

Technical Details:

• Power Management: Includes a 5V 500mA switching power supply and a 3.3V 200mA LDO.
• USB-C Features: Bidirectional power management and temperature monitoring.
• PD3.1 Support: Enables AVS/PPS features from standard profiles up to 30V.
• Microcontroller: Powered by RP2040, running at 133 MHz with 16 MB flash memory.
• User Control: Features LED indicators and physical buttons for easy programming.

The development of the device is ongoing, with the first prototype tests completed and hardware refinements expected by December 2024. The coding processes will follow shortly after.

This device aims to empower electronics enthusiasts while unlocking the full potential of USB-C technology. For more information, visit the project details on https://tinyurl.com/2xsh89jr
