Description

The Adafruit USB Type C Power Delivery Dummy - I2C or Switchable features the HUSB238 USB PD sink chip, allowing you to select the desired USB Power Delivery voltage either via DIP switches (no soldering required) or dynamically through I2C control using the STEMMA QT connector.

This breakout board supports multiple standard voltages from 5V up to 20V at currents up to 5A (100W power delivery). It plugs into a USB Type C cable and negotiates power delivery with the connected power source over the CC lines.

Key benefits include:

  • No soldering required: easily switch voltages with on-board switches or control dynamically over I2C.
  • Green LED indicator for output power status (can be disabled if desired).
  • STEMMA QT connector for plug-and-play I2C communication with compatible microcontrollers.
  • USB data lines exposed on solder pads for additional connectivity options.
  • On/Off switch pads allow disconnecting the output to turn off power without unplugging.
  • Uses the upgraded HUSB328 PDL003A E-Marker variant chip for up to 5A current support.

This board is ideal for projects needing higher voltages and power over USB Type C, such as robotics, displays, or LED lighting, providing flexible power options without soldering.
