From the project
Small DIY board with USB type-C and LDO
The USBC-LDO project is a aimed to create low-cost DIY board with USB-C with LDO power supply.
The USBC-LDO is simple board that provides a USB-C connector and a low-dropout voltage regulator (LDO) to power a small device from a USB-C power source. The board is designed to be as small as possible and to be used in a variety of applications where a small, low-cost, and easy-to-use power supply is needed.
