USB (Universal Serial Bus) delivers DC (Direct Current) power.
Understanding USB Power Delivery
USB connectors were originally designed to deliver DC power along with digital signals. The fact that USB is now widely used for power-only applications is a testament to the success of the USB power voltage level and connectors.
- DC Power: USB provides a stable, constant voltage, which is what most electronic devices need to operate.
- Digital Signals: In addition to power, USB also transmits data using digital signals.
Therefore, while USB carries digital signals, the power it delivers is DC.
