PD (Power Delivery) 1.0/2.0/3.0/3.1/3.2

 

This protocol is designed to work in the vast majority of cases (with rare exceptions) with chargers equipped with a USB-C port and USB-C–USB-C cables (USB 3.1 standard and higher, Thunderbolt).

 

Some important facts:

  • Power can flow in both directions.

  • Allows low-power devices to negotiate for only the power they require.

  • It's the backbone for the implementation of many other fast charging standards like PPS, QC4/QC5, etc.

  • PPS, as well as AVS, are extensions of the PD charging standard, allowing gradually changing charging voltage and current.

  • PD 3.1 brought EPR (Extended Power Range) mode, allowing charging at 5A and voltage above 20V. Entering EPR mode requires an EPR cable with an e-marker chip that sends the charging protocol parameters to the charger. Power range up to 100W is now called SPR (Standard Power Range).

  • USB PD 3.1 brings support for Display Port 1.4a video signals, enabling devices to transmit high-quality audio and video signals up to 8K resolution over a single USB-C cable.

  • The AVS charging protocol was extended with PD 3.2, allowing it to work within the standard power range (SPR) below 100W, down to a minimum of 9V. In addition, under the Extended Power Range (EPR) mode, PD 3.2 allows implementing  "Peak current" functionality, enabling power supplies to safely handle short bursts of high-power loads - such as those required during heavy computing on high-performance laptops or smartphone charging at the beginning of the charging cycle (in the middle and at the end of the charging cycle, power demand is decreasing).

➡️If you need a USB-C cable for device charging or high-speed data transfer, take a look at the tested cables with measured internal resistance and e-marker chip data.
