Designing a USB PD (Power Delivery) Trigger Board For My Devices

If you enjoyed the video please leave a like and consider subscribing for more.
I designed this USB Type-C PD (Power Delivery) trigger board based on the INJONIC IP2721. It features an effuse IC, indicator LEDs, TVS diodes for protection and 4 mounting holes. A big part of the reason for doing this project was to learn more about USB power delivery, PCB design and working with SMD components. It also gives me an easy way to power some of my future projects.

Fantastic video Isaac, glad to see you back on YT 😊 I had no idea there were so many inconsistencies and complications with USB-C!

[@ToineWerner]

Nice little project. Well executed!

[@ericborchardt5238]

This is great! I love your sense of humor and the video was very helpful to me, it contained exactly the information and examples I was looking for. 👍

[@knuckles31312]

Liked and subscribed. Thanks for the video, was very helpful!

[@stevenchasteau8514]

Great video👍 I've finally learned about USB-C

[@masteryoda5825]

Tell me please who bought the first Trigger that was tested, does it have 15 and 20 V for Quick Charge, cable and power supply 20v approved. Pd work 20v, but qc not. Why?

[@lesliefranklin1870]

Funny, and informative. Thank you.

[@jamaunwindham7793]

I just got done creating this on altium for my internship so I decided to watch some videos. And I was laughing at yours when you said you fried your camera and put it on a fry pan LOLLL

[@fellpower]

As an electronic guy i can tell u, using a pcb holder or something like Blue Tack, to fix the pcb when soldering ^^

[@Retro2ModernGaming]

I wonder if one could make a on/off switch cable with power delivery with USB C female input to male output, or USB C male input to female output, vice versa.

[@vladsnape6408]

A usb power delivery board that delivers two voltages at the same time, especially 5 and 12 volts, would be extremely useful, for some.

[@HakanMUSTAFAKEMALATATURK]

thanks , do i need something special to have 5V/3A out on my ebike? or only a 5V regulator or pd board

[@ramprasadkulkarni9736]

hello brother first of all ignore the negative comments you are doing great I am bulding something similar to this I just bought 160W vooc one plus charger I just wated to know how to trigger vooc protocol is there any vooc trigger boards or ic's just to trick the charger thinking that 160w vooc device is connected or can I use PD trigger board to trigger super VOOC or VOOC procol

[@Bajran_]

Can be output voltage set by i2c communication? or i have to use resistors or digital potentiometer?

[@joseam8439]

I'd like to know if the trigger board can be used in a different manner. I have a 12v-to-5v step-down converter for my car and I'd like to connnect Apple's Magsafe puck to it to charge my iPhone. However, the Apple puck will not allow it as it requires the power source to be PD3.0 compliant. Can a trigger be used here to fool Apple's puck and allow the phone to charge?

[@isaac879]

No, unfortunately this board can only source power from a USB C PD supply.

[@billyjoe3309]

Could this board send power in the other direction as well?

[@tonygiguere2495]

Love the vid keep it up

[@thexht7927]

Hi, where do you source the IP2721_MAX12 chip? I cannot find it on Aliexpress. I want only 9V so the normal IP2721 doesn't work for me

[@isaac879]

I got mine from here: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002316588641.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.82.5aba1802f5AC0J There is also the option of the IP2721_ D variant that has two SEL pins so can be configured to 5, 9, 12, 15, and 20V: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002316562305.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.57.5aba1802f5AC0J

[@Phizy99]

Could you do another vid of how to make the lazer gun???

[@isaac879]

I do intend to create a new version. I've already got most of the parts for the extra features I want. It's going to be USB type-C rechargeable, have auto focusing and I think a fingerprint scanner

Hi, if we are using one of there boards between a powerbank and a phone, and the phone's battery gets full, would the powerbank "turn off"? I am trying to make a powerbank to stay ALWAYS ON. To behave as if it was a wall plug and let the phone decide whether it is "taking" power or not. Again, as if it was a wall plug situation. (Back story: I am recording events with a phone and want to use a big powerbank to continuously supply power to the phone, until the powerbank runs out. Now, when the phone gets full, the bank turns off and then the phone uses the phone battery and nothing triggers the powerbank to turn on again.) What other solutions do you know of? Any apps out there that can trigger a powerbank when battery is low? Thank you

[@isaac879]

Unfortunately this board won't solve your problem. A lot of power banks automatically shut off the output when very little power is being drawn. As it's an issue on the power bank side of things, I doubt any apps would be able to solve the problem. If the phone is charging via one of the fast/quick charging protocols you might be able to force it to charge it slower by using a USB cable that does not have the data wires. That way if you're lucky the charge and discharge rate might match. Another option might be to plug in a second device just continually draws enough power to stop it from turning off. (Something like a USB powered light).

Hello issac, I'm new and I'm struggle with this problem for months: I'd bought various pd trigger board, I want to pull 9v 3A (~27w) from charger/powerbank, but the problem is I can get only 9v 0.3A (2.7w) even when connected to the 60A ESC or a light bulb. The charger and powerbank supported 9v 3A, and can output up to 65W. I can't find solution for this. Can you explain why or give me some keywords to Googling? I found out that some people having the problem like mine, but no appropriate answer/solution yet.

[@isaac879]

Hi, It's hard to know what is causing the issue without being able to test the boards. First make sure the load isn't trying to draw a massive current spikes. ESCs can be very electrically noisy so even though the average current it low it might be causing big spikes exceeding 3A. Check the USB cable you are using it good quality and making good connections (I've had a few that became very loose in port and stopped working reliably). Some USB PD ICs/boards have a programmable current limit so make sure that is set to 3A and not 300mA.

[@fatigmakers]

​@@isaac879 Thank you for replying me. Actually, I did measure the Ampere wrong for months. It actually consume 0.0011-2.2A or more at 9v. Mystery unveiled.

[@taavikoppel1769]

Respect!

[@bytemyvoid]

u should buy turbine powered hotgun. this shit with thin nozzle from ur video is just for burning pcb`s. also thin nozzle is causing components to fly away. check quick857dw+ and use nozzle at least 1cm diameter or even without it or u are causing thermal shock of the pcb (thin nozzle with low air pressure and high temperature makes gradient of temperature, that causing problems)

[@khanra17]

I want to subscribe, but you speak very annoyingly! Would you speak a bit louder? You are more in the whispering side

[@isaac879]

I'll do my best to improve my audio in future videos.
