Most economic USB-C PD test equipment?
« on: December 12, 2022, 08:31:04 pm »
I'm looking at a project that involved USB-C PD at both host & device side. It looks like it is a good idea to get some test equipment that can mimic various chargers and devices. So far I have found these two units:

Acroname 'USB-C Hub with Power Delivery Analyzer':
https://acroname.com/store/programmable-industrial-power-delivery-hub-s99-usbhub-3c-pro?sku=S99-USBHUB-3C-PRO
It looks like it can do the business but it has many more features than I need. With the options I would need, it ends up costing ballpark $2k

Passmark 'USB Power Delivery Tester'

This is a device (load) only and priced somewhat nicer at $750 but only does half of what I need.

However, both products don't really fit the bill and look fiddly to setup. Are there any other options out there? Maybe some USB-PD demo board I have overlooked? Ultimately my goal is to be have some confidence that the product I might design 1) works well and 2) has a good chance of passing USB-C PD qualitication testing.

There are small lies, big lies and then there is what is on the screen of your oscilloscope.

Google for FNIRSI-C1, preferably on aliexpress. It may provide more functions for MUCH lower price.

Interesting; I have to see what it can do in terms of simulating a host & device where it comes to power delivery.
