USB Power Delivery Is Better with Type-C
In my previous blog post, I wrote how much better than the existing Type-A and Type-B plugs the recently announced Type-C connector will be. Actually, the Type-C connector is only a part of the equation of how better the USB ecosystem will become when all USB specifications announced this year find their places in future devices. The others are USB 3.1, with its up to 10Gbps data rate, Power Delivery 2.0, and Alternate Modes for Power Delivery specification. As Alternate Modes deserve a separate topic, and I will talk about it in more detail next time, today I will focus on Power Delivery specification revision 2.0.
Many of you may ask, Power Delivery 2.0? Why haven’t we heard about 1.0 then? Well, the reason for it is that Power Delivery 1.0 was announced only in 2012, so not many devices have made it into the market yet, and second, only now, coupled with a Type-C connector, does Power Delivery start making much more sense.
