Course Description

The Programmable Power Supply (PPS) can be connected to the supplied software and operated completely from a remote workstation. The connection to the programmable power supply can be established either via the USB or via the Ethernet interface. This means that the programmable power supply can be freely positioned in a building. In addition, entire voltage and current profiles can be stored. This means that the programmable power supply can also be used in a company's development department.

Programmable Power Supply (PPS) is one of the most important additions to the USB-C Power Delivery 3.0 standard.  A power supply’s output voltage can be programmatically adjusted in small increments (20mv) over its advertised range from 3v to 21v. It also supports current fold back up to 5A, providing constant current charging.  This enables a smart phone to charge up to 50% in just 15 minutes. PPS is also compatible and supports QC4 fast charging from Qualcomm.
