In this episode of DIY or Buy we will have a closer look at a USB Type-C Power Delivery Trigger board. Such boards are used to output 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V or even 20V from a Power Delivery compatible power source. So I will be showing you how such a commercial board works and I will try to create my own DIY version of it in order to see whether it makes sense to DIY such a board or whether we should stick to the commercial solution instead. Let's get started!

USB PD is the best thing since sliced heatshrinks. I've been using it on most of my projects and the convenience is real.
Wait, sliced heat shrinks? That exists?
@@GRBtutorials I think it's a joke on the anglophonic advertisement adage “best thing since sliced bread”. Which I've never understood. How are people incapable of slicing their own bread? Sliced bread has a shorter shelflife.
Well, it would be awsome if sliced heatshrink would exist. I always forget to put it on beforehand.
I'm not joking, they do exist. Just search as "heatshrink kit" and there are variety of them to choose. And as being the parody of "sliced bread", well that was my intention too but pre-cut heatshrinks are really convenient to use for me.
can you send schematic file of your USB_C pD? sandeep@sysargus.com
Even with „Buy“ as an outcome I think what you are doing is really worth it. I’m learning something new every video. Keep it going this way! 👍🏻
Thanks! Will do!
Thanks for making these DIY/Buy videos! I know it's always a bit disappointing when the outcome is buy, but it's very helpful that you did the work to figure that out and shared it with us all 😁
I'm watching your content for more than 3 years and I'm amazed how your channel evolved and how the quality of your materials raised. Keep it up!
I can imagine how much effort you have put on the investigation etc. and put that all together into videos, I really appreciate it mate! Thanks, and keep up the good work!
As things get more and more advanced/complex, buy will usually end up being the winner. And buy has been the only choice for mission-critical applications.
But that has never stopped us from tinkering around, and its always a great learning experience. Just like your videos!
I went into programming after high school / uni but have ever since felt like I need a small-electronics education too. It's kinda fun that you can get that almost for free on youtube these days! You the man!
I've wanted to integrate USB Type C in a project and knowing the capabilities of power delivery has made life alot easier. Great video👌🏽
There is something strangely satisfying about plugging a cable into a USB-C port. Unlike USB-A/B, It just so...hassle free!
USB-A:
Try to plug it in.
Doesn't fit.
Flip it over.
Try to plug it in again.
Still doesn't fit.
Flip it over once more.
Try to plug it in yet again.
It fits.
USB-C:
Plug it in
I suggest TVS diodes on those CC pins. You want to try avoid large transients on cable removals
Could you elaborate what would cause the large transients? And why diodes would help that
LC Raz When you unplug the cable, there is a spike in voltage. This is due to the storage of energy in reactive elements of the circuit. An example would be an inductive load, when you unplug it the magnetic field rapidly breaks down and induces a high voltage. A TVS diode works by depending on the voltage to exceed its breakdown voltage. Essentially when the Spike exceeds the breakdown voltage of the diode, the diode will shunt to ground.
@FQD2N There is inductance everywhere, it might not be big, but it's there. Just because it's not on a cheap aliexpress board, doesn't mean it's not a good idea to have it. External interfaces (even USB connectors) should have some ESD protection minimum. TVSs are one way of doing that.
LC Raz built-in transistors serve the same purpose.
@FQD2N see this guide www.ti.com/lit/wp/slyy105/slyy105.pdf?ts=1592861588015 from TI. You can also checkout the datasheet for a reputable USB PD implementation like the stusb4500qtr chip which includes protection for this type of thing in the typical application example. The circuit designed in this video is a very naive implemenation
I've had the idea of somehow probing the pins of the type c, imitate the signal and maybe some day design my own PD powerbank. This video made me think twice about that thought 😅
Yep,....not that simple😅
@@greatscottlab Andreas Spiess had also a simple Video about hacking quickcharge. He also had A link to a github Page. They used an arduino nano to trigger quickcharge (They only Used 4or 5 resistors to Use the arduino as a trigger. No other ic.)
@@Enderkruemel quickcharge is something different from usb-pd.

@Statiscube hol up
ever since the reflow soldering video came out, I was wondering what this project would be! great video.
I remembered glancing at this video 3 years ago. Luckily I remembered it just the other day for a project. You saved me yet again
Dear GreatScott, you are really amazing & you will not believe that you inspired me to do a lot of stuff in engineering. Good luck keep growing
This is exactly the project I was currently working on! This is absolutely perfect timing! Solved 90% of my questions. Thanks
That is what I was hoping for :-)
@@greatscottlab Yeah I was researching to make a single board design to power my dslr camera via usb-c PD. But after this I'm just going to combine two existing boards. That is as you concluded way easier.
I made a PCB with STUSB4500 for my PD stuff and that IC works just great and is even simpler. It also comes with more security and features.
Love this series, appreciate you man!
Very difficult project. Not easy to implement some of these protocols. Nice of the guy to help with the code. Great job !
Just starting out in PCB design. Hoping I can get to this point one day where I can make a bunch of my own projects/designs. Thanks for the inspiration.
I've just had the idea to use this as a fan driver (starting with 12v, then after the spin-up, reducing to 9v and 5v), and voilà, appears at the last scene :)
Making your own might be a waste of time, but your new understanding of the device is invaluable
Great video! There's actually an existing trigger IC which is the IP2721 that does all the work without the need for a microcontroller. There are currently two versions: one that can be either switched between 9V or 12V, and another between 15V and 20V by setting a select pin floating or high. If the pin is grounded, it will only output 5V
Nice one, when one knows which voltage to use. And also easier to solder by hand !
@@sporniket This is for a trigger board for devices. For the power supply/source, you'd need a PD compatible one.
Do you know if there's already a PD EPR (24/36/48V) version?
It's amazing how much time we will spend on building something just to see if we can do it, regardless of how much easier it is to buy. I always enjoy learning, but it can get frustrating.
Diy would be the preferred method though in instances where you already are using a microcontroller for something else and needed power negotiation (eg in something like a soldering station for a TS 100 iron). If you have a specific use case where going the diy route will reduce part count it could definitely be worth it.
It's so useful now my home made project can be use a power bank instead of mains voltage. Good job. Keep it up.
Great 👍
OMG How did I not know about USB-C PD? I'm super frustrated with myself right now, but very happy with you!
Really nice @Greatscott .....we are your fans....keep it up....looking for more such videos
THANK YOU FOR SUCH A QUALITY CONTENT!😃
Glad you enjoy it!
Wow, great walkthrough/project
Thanks for sharing 👍😀
Super information. Saved me for doing this my selv. Thanks Scott.
You are doing Great...love you
Thanks Scott for the informative video. I have just ordered one of those PD boards and going to try it out.
Have fun!
i just like how he explains it with the notes he takes
my question is what type of pen is that
stabilo fineliner
Stabilo Point 88
I'm just surprised that they haven't sponsored him yet.
Great Scott: [Opens new box of stabilo pens]
Me: ahhh new video time!
@@greatscottlab thanks
This is QUAAALLLIITTYYY COOONNTTEEENNNNTTTTT;
Great content as always
Thanks :-)
Why is the content so high quality?
Of course, it is "Made in Germany" !!! :-)
@ so true :D
Hi, I recently tried the JLC PCB service because of your videos and turns out it's a great service. $2+Shipping for 5, 2 layer PCB's as advertised, and high quality PCB's, compared to those from Pentalogix wich usually cost at least $40 the piece for boards of the same sizes. Only issue is of course wait time but even if you pay another $20 for priority shipping would still be cheaper
Was für ein großartiges Projekt .. Prima!!!
Thank you for this video.
Yes the winner can be buy, but it worth making simple enough library like QC3 control to make projects with PD more affordable. Again thank you
Excellent project 👍 I liked it
Thank you so much as I am searching for similar guidelines so far. And occasionally your this video solve my mystery failed similar attempt before: I mixed up between CCs and SUBs pins of the very same USBC female connector you are using... Thanks a lot again!
p.s. 0:52 PD would in fact not deliver any power at all, neither the most basic 5V, if your device does simply only connect to the VBUS and GND pins, i.e. connect a non-USB-C device with a USB PD sink via passive adapters. This is because while VSUB of other type-A based fast charging (as well as legacy USB) would always have at least 5V, a compliance USBC PD source would instead have no voltages (or so called "high impedance") until it detected something is connected, by detecting if either one CC pin is pulled down by the sink, which is pulled up by the source itself. As non-USB-C does not have CC pins as all it do not "power up" any PD sources.
Your explanation is very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
I am so glad you made a video about this. I have been wondering for a while how difficult it is to implement. Liebe Grusse aus Suedafrika
If you want to inspect the USB PD protocol, I recommend the AVHzY CT-2. It's mainly used for triggering and measuring power draw (which it's fantastic for) but it'll also enumerate all the available power levels and connect to desktop software to show you all the messages going back and forth. Super handy, I used it for evaluating ~30 power banks. Also a minor nit: USB-PD isn't only for USB Type C. PD 1.0 works with micro-USB and type A/B. PD 2.0 is the main one you're a fan of I think, with the separate config channel on the Type C connector.
Thanks for the information
GreatScott! In case you didn't see, I edited my comment to add a little nitpick about PD and Type C. Don't want people to see your comment and think you're agreeing with something you didn't see.
Wie immer gutes Video!
Great job. Wish I could get free stuff to work on lol. Love the videos. You sure learn alot keep up the great work
Very amazing. Thanks for your great tutorial about USB type C power delivery.
Glad it was helpful!
now im reaaallly interrested in what makes usb-pd tick!
Well, you only have 600 pages to read!
@@YonatanAvhar quarantine time *dabs*
Learning more on USB type C from U, Thanks man!!!!
You're welcome :-)
Hej Scott
Thanks for another great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great Scott! that's what we call a metric shit-ton amount of work. thanks for illuminating on the sheer complexity of USB-C power management.
Love the t shirt
Very informative video thanks
Exactly what I needed
This is really a great video; thank you! I am planning to power a board with USB-C PD, and since the board power control is done with an ESP32 (which also allows OTA firmware updates and much more), it would be most convenient to buy an integrated solution, like CK224K. The issue there is, that it doesn't provide any status, so the only way to know if the triggering worked is to measure the voltage with an ADC input. It is not very convenient. Retargeting the PD software to ESP32 shouldn't be too difficult and gives much finer control. Plus, I can still use the D+/D- lines to reprogram the ESP32. In order of cost, I think the CK224K is about $0.60/pc @ 1000, and the FUSB302 is about $0.50/pc @ 1000. Then of course, there is the CYPD3177, but that one creeps closer towards $1/pc. I am still in doubt which part to use.
Good Stuff as always .... thanks for the (needed) leason ! And yes I think I will just go out and buy one ...
I understand that if you want to cycle power modes by pressing the button the buy option is the best, but if you work on a larger project that requires one specific power mode than I think the diy option would be better as you can program your gadget to request that one specific mode.
Awesome video anyway, thank you 👍👍👍
Yeah that's true. Most applications don't require changing the voltage on the go
Sir your subscriber from India. #staysafe
Nicely done
This is pretty much how I made a portable external monitor to carry with my laptop. An old 1080p laptop panel, cheap driver board, USB power bank and a 12v converter works well.
In my opinion buying is the best option always, unless you can save a lot of money by DIY or unless it doesn’t exist what you want. But I’ve to admit it is very interesting and informative making things yourself
Great work!
Danke Scott
thank you for beeing so honest :)
The second IC on commercial is FUSB302B, and ST also had own USB-C PD controller - STUSB4700
You mean 4500. The 4700 is source, not sink.
@@oraszuletik yeah, and this too
Oh nice, I knew about voltage boosters and love them, but that USB-C Power Delivery trigger board is a lot easier to use :)
Ehmagherd, your face!
It is good to finally see you ^_^
Suggested comment: I like your videos, subscribed.
Man, you've been around for a long time. First video I watched was you assembling a 3d printer I think
@GreatScott! You did a lot of work to get this figured out so you deserve mad respect. Now that it's done, why recommend buying the commercial board over adding that chip to your designs? Most of your projects and ours will have an Arduino-compatible processor and an i2c bus. Am I missing something
I have one of these that even has a small lcd display on it that shows me the voltage I've selected as well as the current. It also has a USB-C Male and female connector and a female USB-A connector. I bought it as part of a set with a voltage/current meter to test my chargers and cables with, think I paid 18 euros in total and it also came with a Quick Charge trigger and some other bits. At these prices it's really hard to build something like this yourself.
Great video, just showes that custom silicon is there for a purpose. It is a similar thing with bus communication like i2c and 485/232. If you dont have a good reason to reinvent the wheel, just go to Goodyear.
lmao its my 1st time listening on headphones and i just realised how bass boosted the intro is xD
damn king, you been working out.
Love you bro !
There are several trigger pcbs available but is there one that does the other end? Eg so you can do something like convert a PC power supply into a USB C PD "charger"? What do they put in car chargers?
You are amazing Bro
Thanks. Placed order
THIS VEDIO IS VERY VERY USE FULL
Great 👍 Scott !!!!
Wow, you did really put alot of effort in that project. Thanks for sharing. Btw, Do you use Pspice for pcb-schematics?
Very good video clip 😍😍

Hi. I can't find a video how to incorporate this usb c pb into a diy atx bench top power supply. Is it as simple as connection it to the 12v wires? And what mod can I do to change the output V?
Hello, do you have any video about or know how to recharge an internal battery for example 18650 while mantaining usb data conection with the device? Thank you:D
Does the DIY or Buy version stores the previous stage? For eg, of I configure the output voltage to be 12V by pressing the push button, and then power down, will it start at 12V next time, or back to 5V? This feature will be much more suitable for permanent projects.
Hi dagh! I love USB Ciea, because of powar deliveria
So that tiny board with the STM32 and mystery IC is doing all that work?
USB C is amazing, and PD is by far the best feature. I do wish that it was a bit simpler for DIY enthusiasts to actually implement for themselves.
I thought USB PD output can be programed in 20mV steps? Are there boards that provide access to this, so you can make any PD wall adapter into a programmable/tunable voltage source (maybe even with current limiting)?
I've been wanting to combine PD negotiation with solar MPPT function so I can avoid using a large battery to buffer the energy from a solar panel to the charging device.
Hey there what's the best way run one USB c charge port into multiple outputs to do a 5v charge on my 6s 10amp fishing drone so I can charge it with a solar panel at the beach ..my first idea which I got some boards from Ali is a 5amp 1-20v in and out DC to DC supplier then run that to individual boards so each cell is individually protected still and I want to add a tiny fan
Hey! I have a question about PWM, so i made circuit based on 555 timer which creates that signal. My question is whether I will reduce the fill factor, Will the voltage on the multimeter also decrease?
I'm glad that the negotiation process is complicated, you wouldn't want a crashed USB controller to fooling it into giving out 20V in the USB port
Thanks, great video. Please consider making a voltage / current programmable PSU using the new usbc PD PPS standard.
even the buy wins this video is very interesting
Cool video. I was trying to figure out how to build the opposite, a USB-C PD power source not sink. I have a Fuji X-T3 that can charge from USB-C PD @18w (9v2A) but I want to wire it to a 12v2A source. It was easy to find this USB-C sink board on ebay but no luck finding a PD source that takes 12v input. I ended up with a modified car charger which does the trick but is bulky etc. It must have one of these USB-C comm chips inside verifying and negotiating 9v2A from the car charger. Have you seen any simple converter boards that do 12V -> PD?
Hey can i use lm2596 instead of lm 2576 in my buck converter?
will it make a difference
I would consider using USB-C port in my project that uses USB interface, and I am considering using the FUSB302 or ST equivalent so I get the amperage I need from the buck-boost DC-DC converter based battery charger to juice up a parallel or serial setup of Lithium-ion cells on the board. So DIY is occasionally better than just buy the whole thing especially if you want the DIY electronic projects to be very compact.
Have a look at the Quickcharge 3 protocol. It's limited to 12V, but it can do any voltage from 5 to 12V and is much cheaper to implement (there is even Arduino library for it).
I wonder if there are host modules, where you can attach it to a let’s say 12V source and it outputs USB C PD at 5V/12V/15V/20V 60W at least? For using in diy powerbank projects and also those big power banks so called solar generators(creative naming though :))?
I have a question. Can you make a video a out oscilloscopes? Thank boforhand.
What the... I was just researching this the last few days to convert some devices to accept USB-C. Edit: To clarify, I meant USB-C PD. I'm primarily looking for the power-source (above 5V3A), not the data transfer (but also looking for something which combines both)
i really want to do this to some devices too.
If just accept type c charge and data transfer i think he have other video for it
Look for DIY perks USB-C conversion video, he has very simple explanation for non techy people. Combine his solution with basic electronics here, Thank me later 😀
@@sdffsdafdsfsdfsd I'm looking to convert devices which don't feature USB Power input. (Stuff that requires more than 5V or 15W). I'm also wondering if a board exists that accepts USB-C PD Power but also features USB data transfer to a device behind it. Haven't found anything like that so far.
@@NorthcodeNoCh I think you would need to DIY a passthrough board which includes D± and a 5V regulator.
hi! is it possible to have 7-8v from pd trough any of these trigger boards? thanks!
