The USB-C Power Delivery standard is revolutionising the way we power and charge devices. From smartphones and tablets to laptops and more power-hungry equipment, USB-C Power Delivery delivers versatility, efficiency, and standardisation. At Relec Electronics, we offer a range of USB-C Power Delivery power supplies and display technology to meet the needs of engineers and product designers, enabling seamless integration and robust performance in your projects.
The Rise of USB-C Power Delivery
Since its introduction in 1996, USB technology has undergone remarkable transformations. Initially designed for communication and low-power charging, USB’s role in power delivery has grown exponentially:
USB-C Power Delivery 2.0 introduced power levels of up to 100W, enabling it to support larger devices like laptops. The subsequent Power Delivery 3.0 enhanced communication between power supplies and devices, paving the way for Programmable Power Supply (PPS) features such as variable voltages and current limiting for improved efficiency. USB-C Power Delivery 3.1 now pushes the boundaries with a staggering 240W capability, making it suitable for industrial-grade applications.
Legislation, like the European Union’s recent mandate for USB-C standardisation, has accelerated the adoption of USB-C Power Delivery as the universal charging interface. These efforts aim to simplify user experiences and reduce electronic waste, aligning perfectly with the versatility of USB-C technology.
