#

Introduction
#

With the European Union’s new regulation standardizing USB Type-C connectors for all portable device chargers from 2024, the demand for versatile and efficient charging solutions is rapidly increasing. EDAC POWER addresses this need by offering a range of AC-DC switching power supplies with integrated USB-C cables, supporting power outputs from 30W up to 240W. These solutions are designed to meet the latest USB PD 3.1 and QC 4+ standards, ensuring compatibility and optimal charging performance for a wide array of devices.

Available wattages include 45W, 65W, 100W, 140W, and 240W. The Power Delivery (PD) function allows the charger to automatically detect connected devices and adjust the charging mode accordingly. Quick Charge (QC) 4+ technology enables devices to reach 50% charge in just 15 minutes, delivering fast and reliable power for users on the go. By integrating the charging connector, EDAC POWER’s USB Type-C power solutions also support eco-friendly choices for consumers and manufacturers alike.

GaN Technology: Efficiency and Compactness

Gallium Nitride (GaN) is a wide-bandgap semiconductor material that offers significant advantages over traditional silicon-based components. Its unique crystalline structure provides higher electron mobility and superior thermal conductivity, resulting in:

Higher Efficiency: GaN devices achieve greater power conversion efficiency due to lower resistance and faster switching speeds. This reduces energy loss, minimizes heat generation, and enhances overall system performance.
Compact Size: The efficiency of GaN technology allows for smaller, lighter power supplies without sacrificing output, leading to higher power density and more portable designs.
Enhanced Reliability: Improved thermal management enables GaN-based power supplies to operate at higher temperatures, increasing reliability and lifespan.

EDAC POWER introduces GaN-based Type-C PD chargers ranging from 45W to 240W, suitable for a variety of applications in ICT, medical, and industrial sectors.
