Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An independent lab documenting USB Power Delivery 3.1, 240W charging, protocol analysis, measurement, and open-source tooling.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-18 issue.
For
USB-PD engineers, hardware experimenters, and protocol researchers
Worth noticing
The lab focuses on 240W USB PD 3.1 EPR behavior, including AVS, SOP/SOP' traffic, and CY4500 analyzer tooling.

Field notes

The project centers on the less visible mechanics of USB-C power: EPR negotiation, AVS, PDO behavior, packet capture, and analyzer workflows. Its available cy4500-cli project targets Infineon CY4500 and CY4500-EPR hardware, while the homepage says measurement data, hardware notes, and further documentation will be added progressively. External links point to repositories, updates, videos, and a Roblox game.
