Dialog's power management chipset enables Samsung's Adaptive Fast Charging
compact wall adapter to deliver market-leading efficiency with best in
class charging time
London, United Kingdom - December 02, 2015 - Dialog Semiconductor plc
(XETRA:DLG), a provider of highly integrated power management, AC/DC power
conversion, solid state lighting (SSL) and Bluetooth(R) Smart technology,
today announced that one of its advanced power management chipsets is at
the heart of Samsung's latest Adaptive Fast Charging (AFC) AC/DC wall
adapter. The custom chipset incorporates Samsung's proprietary AFC
technology. The design win builds upon Dialog's estimated 70% market share
of the rapid charging adapter market for smartphones, tablet and other
mobile devices.
The small, lightweight Samsung adapter has a USB output connector and is
designed for use with the Galaxy S6, Galaxy Note 4 and later models of the
Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series smartphones. It typically charges the
batteries from 0 to 50% in 30 minutes. The power supply can also charge
other devices over a micro-USB cable, delivering 5 volts at up to 2 amps.
Analyst IDC predicts smartphone shipments will reach 1.44 billion units in
2015, growing to 1.9 billion units by 2019. According to the analyst,
Samsung held a market-leading 21.4% share of the smartphone market in
Q2/2015. Smartphones are often sold together with AC/DC adapters but there
is also a growing market for standalone adapters that can be used to charge
a variety of devices over USB.
"Dialog's rapid charge solutions have continued to gain traction in the
mobile market, with our latest Samsung success solidifying Dialog's
leadership position," said Davin Lee, Senior Vice President of the Power
Conversion Business Group for Dialog Semiconductor. "Our solutions offer
best in class efficiency, total solution size, performance and cost while
delivering valuable competitive advantages to an innovation leader such as
Samsung."
Three complementary Dialog power management devices are used in the
adapter. The iW1780 primary-side digital controller incorporates Dialog's
patented SmartDefender(TM) advanced hiccup technology, preventing excessive
heat build-up and damage when soft short circuits occur in the charger
cable or connectors. This results in safer, more reliable rapid charging.
The iW627 secondary-side regulator communicates with the iW1780 AC/DC
controller to determine the optimum voltage/current at every point in the
charging cycle. Finally, the iW671 synchronous rectifier replaces the
secondary-side Schottky diode of a conventional design with a MOSFET and
uses proprietary adaptive turn-off technology to boost efficiency to over
88%, reducing the heat generated within the adapter and enabling a smaller
case to be used.
