STEVAL-PCC001V1 - USB-PD Sink Communication Board from STMicroelectronics

The STEVAL-PCC001V1 is a highly versatile and sophisticated USB Power Delivery (PD) sink communication board developed by STMicroelectronics. This board is designed to facilitate the development of PD compliant applications and to expedite the integration of USB-PD sink capabilities into a wide array of electronic products.

At the heart of the STEVAL-PCC001V1 lies the STUSB1602, a USB-PD controller IC that ensures seamless communication following the USB-PD protocol. This controller is responsible for managing the power negotiation over the USB Type-C connection, allowing devices to request up to 100W of power (20V @ 5A) from a compatible source. The board supports multiple power data objects (PDOs) and can be configured to suit the power requirements of various applications.

Featuring a USB Type-C connector, the STEVAL-PCC001V1 can be easily connected to other devices and power sources. The board also includes an array of status LEDs that provide visual feedback on power roles, data roles, and VBUS levels, making it easier for developers to monitor the board's operation during prototyping and testing.

The STEVAL-PCC001V1 is designed to be user-friendly, with a comprehensive set of jumpers and connectors that allow for easy customization and integration into existing systems. Developers can leverage the provided firmware, which is fully compliant with the USB-PD 3.0 specification, to jump-start their design process and reduce time to market.

With its robust design and compatibility with the USB-PD standard, the STEVAL-PCC001V1 is an ideal choice for developers looking to create products such as smart chargers, power hubs, battery-powered electronics, and other USB-C powered devices that require efficient and dynamic power management.

Whether you are an experienced engineer or a newcomer to USB-PD technology, the STEVAL-PCC001V1 offers a reliable and straightforward solution for integrating advanced USB-PD functionality into your next project.
