The PPSTrigger V2.2 is a specialised USB Power Delivery (PD) negotiation board designed to extract precise voltages and current limits from modern USB-C chargers.

Unlike standard trigger boards that are locked to fixed voltage profiles (5V, 9V, 12V, 20V), this device leverages the Programmable Power Supply (PPS) protocol to allow fine-grained control over power output, effectively acting as a miniature interface between a consumer charger and your electronics projects.

For makers and engineers, powering devices with non-standard requirements - such as 8.4V for camera dummies, 10.8V for LED strips, or 13.8V for radios—. Doing this conventionally usually involves bulky lab bench supplies or inefficient buck/boost converters. The PPSTrigger V2.2 solves this pain point by transforming any PPS-compatible GaN charger or power bank into a portable, adjustable laboratory power supply, capable of delivering specific voltages directly to your projects.

This V2.2 iteration is engineered with a focus on reliability and circuit safety, featuring integrated reverse current blocking and a flyback diode to handle inductive loads. With a simple onboard potentiometer for voltage adjustment and robust screw terminals for connectivity, it offers a professional-grade power solution that requires no coding or soldering to deploy.

Core Features

Turn any PPS Charger into a Lab Supply: Negotiate output voltages anywhere between 3.3V and 21V in 20mV increments, allowing you to power devices that don't adhere to standard USB PD fixed voltages without extra regulators.
Integrated Constant Current (CC) Modes: safely drive raw LEDs and COB strips by selecting hard-limit current caps (1A, 1.5A, 2A, 2.5A, 3A) via simple jumper settings, removing the need for external drivers.
Robust Circuit Protection: Prevents damage to your USB-C charger or power bank with built-in reverse current protection (ideal for battery applications) and a flyback diode to suppress spikes from motors and solenoids.
Solder-Free Connectivity: Quickly connect prototypes via the 5mm pitch screw terminals, while retaining access to USB 2.0 D+ and D- data lines for pass-through applications.
Visual Feedback: Monitor the state of your power delivery instantly with the onboard LED indicator, ensuring you know when the trigger is active and supplying power.
