RE: Possibility for low cost voltage setting

Was there any discussion in to making the interface the same as in IEEE802.3at-2009? The standard already has a universal connector (the RJ45) which is present at the majority of portable computers, and allows the delivery of 12.95W (Type 1 devices), 25.5W (Type 2 devices) or 51W (2xType 2 devices).
It would save the cost of a connector and the standard already has a provision for negotiating power and allocating power.

As voltage drop by different length and grade of power cable, this maybe not as ideal as digital communication. Just my opinion…

I do not think you need that second setting. The application can regulate the current by itself by adjusting that feedback or voltage setting signal. Less voltage means less current.
Unless you are talking about single fault conditions; in which case you have a similar problem when using digital communication.
