Silanna Semiconductor announced a breakthrough 30W USB-PD reference design, achieving 21.6W/inch 3 uncased power density from an all-silicon design for a universal input AC/DC power adapter, utilizing their expanded portfolio of Active Clamp Flyback Controllers (ACF).
Silanna Semiconductor focuses on the ultimate power management challenges with the best-in-class power density and efficiency that delight customers with unprecedented BoM savings.SZ1110 ACF PWM controller was announced in April 2020 and currently released as Engineering Samples. The new 30W USB-PD reference design using SZ1110 demonstrates performance results utilizing all-silicon system design know-how.
The 30W USB-PD reference design, supporting 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 15V/2A and 20V/1.5A output voltages, targets a wide range of consumer power adapter applications. The technical sales team has been working directly with customers, demonstrating the advantages of Silanna Semiconductor’s ACF controllers by delivering the best-in-class efficiency and the highest power density with reduced BoM costs from all-silicon designs.
“Customers are delighted to know that our 30W USB-PD reference design is achieving 20% higher power density from an all-silicon design compared to the state-of-the-art higher cost GaN based products in the market” said Ahsan Zaman, Director of Marketing. “The reference design demonstrates how well-suited the SZ1110 is for high power density AC/DC power adapters, while keeping the BOM costs low. SZ1110 is designed for up to 33W output power, including USB-PD and Quick Charge applications.”
SZ1110 devices are ACF controllers that integrate an adaptive digital PWM controller and the following Ultra High-Voltage (UHV) components: an Active Clamp FET, Active Clamp Gate Driver, and a Startup Regulator. This unprecedented integration level facilitates designing efficient, high power density adapters with low BoM cost to satisfy power-hungry mobile phones, tablets, and other portable electronic devices.
The SZ1110 is fully supported by the Silanna Semiconductor’s Asian Center of Excellence (ACE) design support center.
