USB PD Ultra High-Density Power Solutions for Consumer Electronic Devices

Overview

The USB-C is a relatively new standard that aims to provide high-speed data transfer up to 10Gb/s along with power flow capability of up to 100W. These features can make the USB-C a truly universal connectivity standard for modern devices. USB Type-C is a specification for a USB connector system that is gaining popularity across smartphones and mobile devices and is capable of both power delivery and data transmission. Unlike its USB predecessors, it’s also flippable — so you don’t need to try three times to plug it in.
