2. Safety requirements
This kit is to be used in combination with a QC4pDB1532 Portway adapter and a
TEA1936xDB1530 demo board. For supplying this application AC power with galvanic
isolation from the mains is strongly advised, as the TEA1936xDB1530 demo board is
connected to AC power. For supplying the TEA1936xDB1530 demo board a mains
isolated transformer/variac or an AC power source can be used.
Use a protective shield over the TEA1936xDB1530 demo board and never touch the
board when testing, i.e. with mains power on. After switching off the mains power, do not
touch the primary part of the board (red area), because the electrolytic buffer capacitors
will remain charged for several minutes. Only handle the board at the secondary side
(green) after testing, see Fig 2.

3. How to use
3.1 PD 3.0 Type-C tester
The PD3DB1548 PD 3.0 Type-C tester is shown in Fig 3.
Fig 3. PD3DB1548 PD 3.0 Type-C tester
This board is used for PD 3.0 and 4.0(+) evaluation. A load and/or a voltage meter can
be connected to T2 and T3 to measure the output voltage and to draw current from the
USB-PD application with a resistive or electronic load.
The board is connected to the demo board via the Type-C port. The board can be
supplied by the Type-C application under test, but also via an external +5 V supply that is
connected to the micro USB port CN1.
The supply select switch needs to be set in the correct position. In the photograph the
switch is set for supply via the Type-C connection.
The board is connected to a charger application via the Type-C port.
For USB-PD 3.0 the board can be used to select the desired PDO by pressing the
corresponding switches. The on-board display shows the value of the output voltage
V(bus).
For USB-PD 4.0(+) this version of the Type-C tester will also work. Pressing V_Up or
V_down will increase or decrease the output voltage respectively with 20 mV steps.
Holding V_Up or V_Down pressed down will result in the maximum or minimum voltage
of the selected PDO respectively when PPS is enabled for that particular PDO.

All PDO’s in the Portway adapter are now easily accessible with the Type-C tester,
although it is recommended to use the PD3QC4DB1547 which is equipped with a 4 digit
display which shows the voltage as intended for QC4/PPS when V(out) ≥ 10 V.

Also here all PDO’s in the demo board are easily accessible with the Type-C tester,
although it is recommended to use the PD3QC4DB1547 which is equipped with a 4 digit
display which shows the voltage as intended for QC4/PPS when V(out) ≥ 10 V.
