Silicon Mitus comes out with the SM58IP04, a single-chip buck-boost USB Type-C Narrow VDC (NVDC) charger. Targeting 2S/3S and 4S battery applications that take full advantage of the new USB Type-C, it features embedded in the latest PD3.0 specifications such as PPS and Fast Role Swap.
With integrated FETs and a high level of logic on-chip, the SM58IP04 is specifically designed for high efficiency and integration to deliver up to 65 W of power in the smallest form factor as follows:
- Reduces the PCB surface area by more than 50% and the Z-height profile to less than 1.2 mm;
- Achieves up to 95% efficiency while in both buck- or boost-mode charging the battery up to 6 A due to advanced thermal management;
- Supports both Direct and Parallel Charging, Intel IMVP8 and Cell Balancing while integrating multiple currents and voltages sensing and OVP features.
