USB Power Delivery offers the following features:

· Increased power levels from existing USB standards up to 100W.

· Power direction is no longer fixed. This enables the product with the power (Host or Peripheral) to provide the power. 

· Optimize power management across multiple peripherals by allowing each device to take only the power it requires, and to get more power when required for a given application. 

· Intelligent and flexible system level management of power via optional hub communication with the PC.

· Allows low power cases such as headsets to negotiate for only the power they require.
