Synopsis

Stop frying boards. Start powering them right.

USB-C is everywhere — but “one connector to rule them all” hides a world of negotiation, limits, and hidden traps. Power Delivery (PD) can run a Raspberry Pi 5, a gaming laptop, or a camera rig — but only if you understand what the charger, cable, and device are really agreeing to.

This book is your complete PD toolkit:

  • Understand the versions — PD 2.0 (100 W), PD 3.0 with PPS, and PD 3.1 up to 240 W. Learn which devices support which rails, and why it matters.

  • Decode cables and e-markers — why a missing chip drops you to 3 A, and how counterfeit cables ruin projects.

  • Protect your devices — using fuses, buck/boost converters, ripple filters, and current-limiting modules.

  • Measure, don’t guess — how to use inline meters, analyzers, and electronic loads to reveal the real contracts being negotiated.

  • Learn from real case studies — Pi 5 undervoltage errors, Arduino boards fried by 20 V triggers, and camera rigs saved with LC filters.

Inside you’ll find:

  • Tested recipes for powering Raspberry Pi 5, Arduino projects, routers, and camera rigs safely over USB-C.

  • Clear charts mapping PD specs to real-world devices.

  • Lab-ready troubleshooting checklists and margin-safe power budgeting worksheets.

  • A structured mindset that turns frustration into professional reliability.

If you work with Raspberry Pi, Arduino, ESP32, cameras, or home-lab gear, this is the reference you’ll keep at your bench.
