Technical Overview:
A compact USB-C Power Delivery module that negotiates 15 V PD and delivers a regulated 14.8 V output (up to 50 W) via PowerPole PP45 connectors. Designed with integrated protection and multi-stage filtering, it provides a clean, RF-safe DC supply for mobile rigs, accessories, and portable operations.

Key Features

  • USB-C PD input with CH224K controller for automatic 15 V negotiation
  • Fixed 14.8 V DC output, ideal for ham radio gear expecting shack voltage
  • Anderson PowerPole PP45 connectors for secure, standard ham-radio DC connection
  • Over-current protection with resettable polyfuse
  • Transient and surge suppression via TVS diode
  • Multi-stage EMI filter with ferrite bead and capacitor network — ensures RF-quiet operation
  • Power-good LED for quick visual status
  • Delivers up to 50 W continuous (14.8 V, 3.3 A)

Applications

  • Powering mobile HF/VHF/UHF transceivers (13.8 V standard)
  • Driving compact RF amplifiers up to 50 W
  • Supplying clean DC for accessories, tuners, and portable gear
  • Field power from USB-C PD power banks, laptops, or travel adapters

Performance & Design Notes

At its heart, the CH224K PD controller negotiates 15 V PD via CC1/CC2 lines. A precision resistor configures the voltage profile, while a resettable polyfuse and TVS diode provide robust protection against over-current and transients. The filter stage — consisting of a large ferrite bead and 3-capacitor network — ensures low ripple and RF-quiet output, making the converter safe to use at repeater sites, SDR receivers, and sensitive RF installations.
