Programmable Power Supply (PPS) is a standard that refers to the advanced charging technology for USB-C devices. It can modify voltage and current in real-time by feeding maximum power based on a device's charging status.

Power Delivery (PD) is a specification for handling higher power and allows a range of devices to charge quickly over a USB connection. It functions by facilitating communication between two devices to negotiate a power contract so they can determine how much power can be pulled from the charger.


basically, it'll account for power surges or low power (etc.) and maintain a steady flow of electrons to your device and not fry it if your power generator sucks, when you're trying to dump a lot of power to your devices to quick charge (layman simplified terms) the smarter ones will also check temperature and such; then trickle charge your device to avoid bursting your poor lithium-polymer battery
It's basically PD 2.0 (not to confuse with the actual PD 2.0 standard) for charging devices. Avoid buying chargers over 20W without it unless the charger can provide the exact voltage your equipment needs

For example Samsung phones 45W fast charging requires PPS
Thank for the explanation.... But I still don't get it. ???

GaN is manufacturing material as far as I know. Unrelated to PD/PPS

Don't see PPS voltage range on the pictures

"The USB Power Delivery 3.0 revision released in 2018 also introduced the Programmable Power Supply protocol into the standard."

This says PD 3.0 has PPS as a standard

I think it means that it's supported, but not required. So not all will have it.
