To meet the ever-increasing number of mobile devices, laptops and battery-operated devices, there is an ever-increasing need for charging power and fast charging. Infineon Technologies has combined a hybrid flyback (HFB) controller, an XDP digital power controller XDPS2201 and a CoolGaN integrated power stage (IPS) 600V (IGI60F1414A1L) for efficient and high power density charger and adapter designs, For engineers, this trend presents the challenge of achieving higher power levels in a smaller form factor while meeting thermal performance demands.
Adam White, President of Infineon's Power and Sensor Systems Division, said: "By combining Infineon's hybrid inverse-trans controller with the integrated CoolGaN devices in Anker's new charging lineup, we have achieved a superior system level of over 95 percent. Efficiency.” “This architecture reduces energy loss by 21% compared to other charging solutions. This is the first time the combination of an Infineon HFB controller and a CoolGaN IPS device is commercially available in the consumer electronics market.”
And Anker selected Infineon's next-generation HFB controller and CoolGaN IPS for fast chargers above 100W, achieving market-leading power density."by delivering superior power transfer efficiency, faster charging and portability, GaN has completely changed the way we charge electronics," said Steven Yang, CEO of Anker Innovations.
