USB PD 3.1: Power Delivery Tailored for Modern Applications
USB PD 3.1 delivers advanced power solutions with up to 48V, 240W capacity, adjustable voltage, and dynamic power management.
USB PD 3.1 expands the possibilities of powering modern devices with enhanced voltage options, supporting a wide range of portable devices and high-demand applications. Designed to improve flexibility and efficiency, USB PD 3.1 has a ready field of application, for example, e-mobility, portable equipment, and high-performance laptops.
What is USB PD 3.1?
USB Power Delivery 3.1 (USB PD 3.1) is the latest enhancement to the USB power standard. With features like Extended Power Range (EPR) and Adjustable Voltage Supply (AVS), which will be discussed in the following text, USB PD 3.1 ensures efficient and compact power delivery for demanding applications of modern devices.
Why USB PD 3.1 Matters?
Modern applications require power solutions that are versatile, efficient, and reliable. USB PD 3.1 addresses these needs by:
-
Higher Voltage Options (28V, 36V, 48V):
By introducing new voltage levels up to 48V, USB PD 3.1 with its expanded operational range it supports devices with varying power requirements.
-
Extended Power Range (EPR) up to 240W:
While the standard power range (SPR) covers up to 100W, the extended power range (EPR) of USB PD 3.1 supports devices requiring up to 240W (48V at 5A). EPR provides robust performance for devices that require higher power outputs.
-
Adjustable Voltage Supply (AVS):
The intelligent power negotiation of AVS enables precise voltage adjustments and reliable power delivery with stable voltage outputs (15V to 48V) in fine 100mV increments. This ensures optimal performance, minimizes downtime and enhances device stability for critical applications.
-
Programmable Power Supply (PPS):
PPS dynamically adjusts power delivery between Constant-Current and Constant-Voltage modes, optimizing energy delivery and charging efficiency for various devices.
