Short for USB Power Delivery and is a fast-charging standard that allows compatible USB devices to negotiate and deliver higher levels of power. It enhances the traditional USB standard by providing up to 100 watts (W) of power through a USB-C connection, which is significantly more than standard USB connections can offer. USB PD dynamically adjusts the voltage and current levels to match the needs of the connected device, allowing faster and more efficient charging for laptops, tablets, smartphones, and other devices. Additionally, it enables bidirectional power, meaning a device can either receive or supply power to another connected device.
