Description

USB-C 3.3V Step-Down Converter — PCB / PCBA

Open-source USB-C power-board design by Mauro De Vecchi (maudeve-it), intended to supply a regulated 3.3V rail from a 5V USB-C source.

Main chip

TPS54331: the buck-converter IC identified as U1 in the original KiCad schematic. The project targets up to 3A under suitable source, component and thermal conditions; this is a design target, not a verified continuous-current rating for this listing.

Design functions

  • USB-C input with hardware detection of available source current.
  • 3.3V step-down output and access to the input 5V supply.
  • No USB Power Delivery negotiation controller: this design does not request higher USB-PD voltages.

Typical applications

  • 3.3V power for microcontroller and sensor prototypes.
  • USB-C-powered embedded electronics and development fixtures.
  • Learning buck-converter and USB-C power-interface design.

Actual available power depends on the USB source, cable, load and cooling. The two outputs share the input power budget. These functions require an assembled board; the PCB-only option contains no components.

Choose your build option

Option Price per piece Shipping weight Contents Production lead time
PCB Only USD $1.00 50 g One unpopulated PCB 2-3 days
PCBA USD $3.20 60 g One populated and soldered board 5-10 days after payment confirmation

PCBA is made to order; shipping transit time is additional. Power adapter, cable, enclosure and load are not included. The supplied image is a bare PCB render, not an assembled-product photograph.

Upstream design note

The author reports an approximately 12-second transient after connection to a USB-C PD source and discusses adding a filtering capacitor. Review the original documentation and confirm the manufacturing revision and startup behavior before connecting sensitive equipment. This listing does not claim that the upstream transient has been corrected.
