The Power Delivery Board is essentially a sink controller board. It negotiates with the USB PD charger to obtain the desired voltage and current according to the specified configuration. The USB-C PD Power Delivery Board can be used in various applications where USB-C is utilized to power a product or project. It features a user-friendly DIP switch that allows you to select the desired output voltage or current from your USB PD charger. Additionally, it has an on-board DC-DC converter capable of generating either 5 V or 3.3 V, depending on the jumper setting. It can easily provide around 3.3 W of power.Note: More power can be drawn from the DC-DC converter if the USB PD voltage is lower (e.g., 9 V, 12 V) or if an external heatsink is used. Voltage and current selection or monitoring is possible through the I²C interface available on the 4-pin header. Specifications USB-C Input Power delivery up to 65 W via DIP switch and 100 W via I²C command (I²C pullups are not on the board). Please note that the 3.25 A setting (via DIP Switch) may not work with many USB-C PD chargers. We have also observed this during testing. An additional DC-DC Converter(TPS54302) is onboard to generate 3.3 V, 1 A/5 V, 0.65 A output so that you need fewer components on your application board. 4x Mounting holes for easy mounting LED indication for USB-C input, USB PD output and DC-DC converter output A 2-pin power terminal is provided for easy connection A 4-pin 2.54 mm header connector is provided for the I²C connection Both connectors will come unsoldered Dimensions: 50 x 35 mm

STmicroelectronics’ wireless IoT & wearable sensor development kit ‘SensorTile.box’ is a portable multi-sensor circuit board housed in a plastic box and developed by STMicroelectronics. It is equipped with a high-performance 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 processor with DSP and FPU, and various sensor modules, such as accelerometer, gyroscope, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, atmospheric pressure sensor, microphone, and so on. SensorTile.box is ready to use with wireless IoT and Bluetooth connectivity that can easily be used with an iOS or Android compatible smartphone, regardless of the level of expertise of the users. SensorTile.box is shipped with a long-life battery and all the user has to do is connect the battery to the circuit to start using the box. The SensorTile.box can be operated in three modes: Basic mode, Expert mode, and Pro mode. Basic mode is the easiest way of using the box since it is pre-loaded with demo apps and all the user has to do is choose the required apps and display or plot the measured data on a smartphone using an app called STE BLE Sensor. In Expert mode users can develop simple apps using a graphical wizard provided with the STE BLE Sensor. Pro mode is the most complex mode allowing users to develop programs and upload them to the SensorTile.box. This book is an introduction to the SensorTile.box and includes the following: Brief specifications of the SensorTile.box; description of how to install the STE BLE Sensor app on an iOS or Android compatible smartphone required to communicate with the box. Operation of the SensorTile.box in Basic mode is described in detail by going through all of the pre-loaded demo apps, explaining how to run these apps through a smartphone. An introduction to the Expert mode with many example apps developed and explained in detail enabling users to develop their own apps in this mode. Again, the STE BLE Sensor app is used on the smartphone to communicate with the SensorTile.box and to run the developed apps. The book then describes in detail how to upload the sensor data to the cloud. This is an important topic since it allows the sensor measurements to be accessed from anywhere with an Internet connection, at any time. Finally, Pro mode is described in detail where more experienced people can use the SensorTile.box to develop, debug, and test their own apps using the STM32 open development environment (STM32 ODE). The Chapter explains how to upload the developed firmware to the SensorTile.box using several methods. Additionally, the installation and use of the Unicleo-GUI package is described with reference to the SensorTile.box. This PC software package enables all of the SensorTile.box sensor measurements to be displayed or plotted in real time on the PC.
