SparkFun Qwiic USB-C Power Delivery Board
SparkFun Qwiic USB-C Power Delivery Board achieves higher power adapter voltages, typically 5-20V with 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 than the typical 5V. The Board uses the same power adapter for different projects eliminating the need for multiple power adapters to provide different output voltages.
The Power Delivery Board is also part of SparkFun’s Qwiic connect system, which is an ecosystem of I2C sensors, actuators, shields, and cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector. The 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. PDO profiles are configured in an integrated non-volatile memory. The controller does all the power negotiations and provides an easy way to configure over I2C.
An I2C bus is needed to configure the Qwiic USB-C Power Delivery Board. The Qwiic system makes it easy to connect the Power Delivery board to a microcontroller. Connection to the I2C bus via the plated through holes for SDA and SCL is possible depending on the application.
