I need a full end-to-end design for a portable charger that can power smartphones, laptops, and tablets while letting the user pick the exact volts, amps, or watts on the fly. The unit must hit up to 20 V—whether that requires a buck-boost stage or a straight 20 V rail is up to you—but it also has to step down cleanly for lower-power devices. Power sources • Primary: an internal rechargeable pack that the user tops up from the wall. • Secondary: an integrated solar panel big enough to keep the pack alive in daylight; sensible MPPT or equivalent tracking is essential so the panel actually does useful work. Outputs The enclosure needs 4 clearly labeled ports: USB Type-C, Micro USB, Usb, and wireless charging. USB Type-C must negotiate higher voltages for laptops; the others can stay at 5 V yet still benefit from the adjustable current feature. User interface A simple knob, slider, or small OLED with buttons is fine so long as the user can see and set volts, amps, or watts directly. Built-in protection for over-current, over-temp, and reverse polarity is expected. Deliverables 1. Schematic and PCB layout (Altium, KiCad, or equivalent). 2. Component BOM with ordering links. 3. Firmware/source for any microcontroller or USB-PD controller used. 4. Mechanical files for the enclosure that accommodates the solar panel and ports. 5. Test report confirming the unit holds 20 V under load and that solar charging reaches advertised performance. I’m happy to iterate quickly if you flag component lead times or supply-chain issues early. Show me a few portfolio examples of power-electronics work and we can get started right away.

built a 5-cell BMS power bank (PaulBank) with Qi, WiFi monitoring, and a custom PCB, and a solar bracelet charger (SolarHug) with USB output, so the power electronics side here is familiar territory. for 20V USB-C PD you'll want a FUSB302 or similar PD controller feeding a synchronous buck-boost, with a separate MPPT IC on the solar input. the adjustable output UI is straightforward on a small STM32 or ESP32 driving an OLED. KiCad for schematic and layout, Fusion 360 for the enclosure. what's the target battery capacity and solar panel size you have in mind?

Hi, Your requirement for user‑selectable voltage/current up to 20V on the USB‑C port means you need a buck‑boost topology that can both step up (e.g., 3‑12V battery to 20V) and step down (20V to 5V for low‑power devices). My constructive opinion: avoid a single stage that tries to do everything – it will be inefficient and large. Instead, I propose a two‑stage architecture: First stage: a 4‑switch buck‑boost (TPS55288 or MP4245) that takes the battery (2S or 3S Li‑Ion) and generates an adjustable 5‑20V rail. Second stage: a separate USB‑C PD controller (e.g., STUSB4761 or FUSB302 + a dedicated buck for 5V only ports) that negotiates with the laptop and sets the buck‑boost’s output via I²C. For the solar input: a dedicated MPPT charger like the BQ24650 or SPV1040 that charges the battery independently of the output stage. I will also add a battery protection circuit (over‑voltage, over‑current, short‑circuit) using a 3S BMS chip. The wireless charging output (e.g., 5W Qi) can be powered from the 5V rail derived from the buck‑boost – but note that while charging a laptop at 20V, the wireless pad will also be active. I will add a physical switch for the wireless pad to save power when not needed. Please contact me if you agree to my proposal. Thanks, Rijyel
