USBHub3c: PD-Builder Feature

PD Builder

If you need to be able to manipulate power delivery in the most intricate detail, PD Builder is for you. PD Builder gives you the ultimate level of power delivery data analysis and PDO control.

PD Builder enables the ability to customize and edit the local Power Data Objects (PDO) presented by the USBHub3c. Where PD Logger provides you with all negotiations between the USBHub3c and the device under test, the PD Builder lets you exercise those unique power delivery specifications.

Need to see how a device performs when it’s plugged into a 60W brick vs a 15W hub? PD Builder gives you the ability to do just that (and so much more!). This is revolutionary for device testing and validation because you can emulate any PD setting you want with one device.

We’ve gone the extra mile and then some by designing the USBHub3c with per-port PD configuration so you can advertise unique power profiles on any given channel. What’s more, you can configure PD profiles when a port is acting as a source and as a sink, too.

Here’s a list of some of the elements PD Builder gives you control over:

EDITABLE ELEMENTS:

• PDO Type:
  • Fixed
  • Variable
  • Battery
• APDO PDO Flags:
  • Unchuncked message support
  • Dual role data
  • USB communications possible
  • External power
  • USB suspend
  • Dual role power
  • High capability
  • Fast role swap current
• PDO Values (dependent on type):
  • Voltage
  • Current
  • Power
  • Enabling and disabling individual PDOs

Using our PD Builder feature with your USBHub3c allows you to change any configuration you need to fully validate to the USB PD Standard. Add PD Builder to your USBHub3c today and take your PD testing, analysis, and device validation to the next level.
