Abstract:
Techniques are provided for managing power delivery to multiple universal serial bus (USB) type-C ports of a desktop computer system. In an example, a method can include providing a first power level to a USB power delivery controller during a non-sleep mode operation of the desktop computer, and providing a second power level to the USB power delivery controller when the computer is in a sleep mode, the second power level configured to provide default charge power to a connected device when the computer is in the sleep mode.
