Infineon teams for 240W PD3.1 GaN notebook adapter
Infineon Technologies is expanding its partnership with one of the largest power supply makers in Taiwan to increase the performance of its latest PD3.1 notebook adapter series.
Chicony Power Technology is using Infineon’s CoolGaN and CoolMOS power transistors for its latest USB power delivery (PD) PD3.1 240W notebook power adapter series.
The new topology from using GaN devices provides a 30 percent increase in power density to provide up to 240 watts compared to the 100W defined in USB 3.0. This is aimed at charging high performance notebooks such as gaming computers and multimedia workstations via the USB-C port and can also be used as a universal power supply for multiple electronic devices.
