PPS vs PD Charger | ZONSAN

2023-01-14 What's the difference between PD and PPS?

PPS (Programmable Power Supply) and PD (Power Delivery) are both technologies used to speed up the charging process of devices.

PD (Power Delivery) is a charging standard developed by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) that allows for faster charging of USB-C devices. It uses a negotiation process between the device and the charger to determine the optimal charging rate, and it can also be used to charge larger devices such as laptops. PD charging is also more efficient as it can adjust to the device's needs, for example, if the device is almost fully charged it will reduce the power and avoid overcharging.

PPS (Programmable Power Supply) is a new charging standard developed by the USB-IF to improve the charging efficiency of USB-C devices. It is designed to work with PD chargers and can provide a more stable and consistent power output while charging. PPS allows the device and the charger to communicate and negotiate the charging rate in real-time, resulting in more efficient charging and less power wastage. It also allows the charger to provide a more accurate and stable voltage, which can help to extend the life of the device's battery.



Is PPS better than PD?

By making a summary of the previous descriptions, PPS is an advanced and more efficient version of PD, it allows for more precise and stable power delivery, and it can improve the charging time and the battery life of devices that support it.

Does iPhone support PPS charging?

Currently, the iPhone does not support PPS (Programmable Power Supply) charging.

The iPhone uses PD (Power Delivery) for fast charging, and it supports USB-C PD chargers, which allows for faster charging of USB-C devices and can also be used to charge larger devices such as laptops. Apple has implemented PD in their iPhone 8 and later models, including iPhone SE (2020) and iPhone X and later models.

It's worth noting that Apple is always updating their devices and the technology they support, it's possible that future iPhone models will support PPS charging. However, as of now, the iPhone does not support PPS charging.
