One of the significant enhancements introduced with USB Power Delivery (USB PD) is the Programmable Power Supply (PPS) feature. PPS allows devices to negotiate and dynamically adjust the power levels during charging. This adaptability is particularly beneficial for optimizing charging efficiency and enhancing the lifespan of the device’s battery.
When a device connects to a PPS-enabled charger, both the charger and the device engage in a communication process through the USB PD protocol. This communication allows the device to request specific voltage and current levels that meet its immediate power requirements. For instance, if a smartphone is at 50% battery, it may request a lower voltage and current to avoid overheating, while a laptop that needs a quick charge can request higher levels.
Reduced Heating Issues
Longer Battery Life
The introduction of Programmable Power Supply (PPS) within USB Power Delivery marks a significant advancement in charging technology. By allowing for dynamic adjustments in voltage and current, PPS not only enhances charging efficiency but also contributes to battery health and longevity. As USB PD continues to evolve, the adoption of PPS is expected to increase, making it a critical feature in future devices and charging solutions.
