USB Chargers
USB-C PD covers a range of different power levels, with different amperage and voltage combinations that
a charger can deliver, depending on what the device asks for and the cable negotiates. These values are
Power Data Objects (USB-C)
▪ Nominal voltage and maximum current
▪ A Source must have at least one PDO
▪ The Sink chooses one of the Sources PDOs

USB-C Cable Recommendation
▪ Use Full-featured USB Type-C cables made by reliable brands.
▪ USB2.0 cables miss the Superspeed channels, neither DP video nor USB3 transmission works with
them.
▪
HBR2-HBR3 (5.4Gbps or 8.1Gbps) applications are recommended.
▪ Thunderbolt cables are not backwards compatible to USB3.x or Displayport unless the manufacturer
explicitly states so.
▪
expensive choice.
