USB Type-C PD2.0/PD3.0 Fast Charge Decoy Trigger Module 9V/12V/15V/20V

USB Type-C PD2.0/PD3.0 Fast Charge Decoy Trigger Module 9V/12V/15V/20V is an ultra-compact hardware USB Power Delivery (PD) protocol negotiation board that induces fixed 9V, 12V, 15V, or 20V DC power from any PD2.0/PD3.0 compliant USB Type-C wall charger or power bank. Built around a dedicated hardware PD sink controller IC with CC-pin overvoltage protection, it allows engineers to replace bulky barrel-jack AC adapters with modern GaN USB-C chargers to power routers, soldering irons, laptops, and 12V/20V embedded devices.

Key Features:

• Hardware USB PD2.0 / PD3.0 Sink Negotiation: Communicates digitally over the USB-C CC1/CC2 configuration channel pins to unlock 9V, 12V, 15V, or 20V PDO profiles up to 5A (100W).
• Solder-Jumper / Fixed Voltage Selection: Onboard configuration pads select the target decoy voltage (9V, 12V, 15V, or 20V; automatically falls back to the highest supported lower PDO if the charger lacks the requested profile).
• VBUS-to-CC Short-Circuit Protection: Built-in 20V+ high-voltage tolerance on CC pins prevents chip burnout during hot-plugging and production testing.
• Reversible USB Type-C Female Input: Plugs into any standard USB-C to USB-C PD cable in either orientation.
• High-Current V+ / V- Output Pads: Large tinned through-hole/surface solder pads deliver up to 3A–5A directly to a DC barrel cord or project PCB.

Technical Specifications:

• Supported Protocols: USB Power Delivery PD 2.0 & PD 3.0
• Negotiable Output Voltages: 5V / 9V / 12V / 15V / 20V DC (Dependent on USB-C PD Charger Capabilities)
• Maximum Pass-Through Current: Up to 5.0A (Up to 100W at 20V 5A with an E-Marked USB-C Cable)
• Input Connector: USB Type-C Female Receptacle
• Output Terminals: V+ and V- (GND) Solder Pads
• Operating Temperature Range: -20°C to +85°C

Mechanical Specifications:

• PCB Material: FR-4 Double-Sided Fiberglass Micro-PCB
• Form Factor: Ultra-Miniature Inline Cable/Enclosure Solder Board

Dimensions:

• Length: 18 mm
• Width: 11 mm
• Height: 4.5 mm
• Weight: ~1.5 g

Pinout and Wiring:

• USB Type-C Port: Connect to a USB-C PD wall charger or PD power bank using a C-to-C cable (note: standard USB-A to USB-C cables only carry 5V/QC, not USB-C PD).
• V+ Pad: Decoyed positive DC output (9V, 12V, 15V, or 20V).
• V- Pad: Common ground (GND).
• Voltage Selection Pads: Configure rear/top solder jumper pads for desired voltage before connecting your load, and verify output with a voltmeter.

Datasheet Reference:

• Controller IC Class: CH224K / IP2721 /LDR6023 Hardware USB Type-C PD Sink Decoy Controller

Commonly Used in:
