In recent years, USB Type-C connectors have begun to appear in the market, triggering the upsurge of research and development of USB Type-C connectors. It is expected that more products will be on the market after 2016. The prominent advantage of Type-C is that it can be plugged in and out. It can also integrate many different interfaces. It is mainly used in chargers, mobile phones/tablets/notebooks, dock base, etc.
It covers consumer electronics, IT and industrial fields. In order to meet the demand of USB Type-C power supply, in mid-September, ROHM announced the development of the supply and supply controller ICBM92TxMWV series of USB Power Delivery (USBPD). ROHM products are characterized by high-power power supply and reception, support from 7.5W (5V/1.
5A) to 100W (20V/5A), especially in the high-power aspect shows unique advantages, especially suitable for driving notebook computers and TV. In recent years, many regions around the world are advocating reducing industrial waste. Chargers and communication connectors that can be used in all electronic devices around the world have become an inevitable trend. In this context, the USB Implements Forum, Inc., is committed to popularizing the connector standard “USB Type-C”, while paying great attention to the power expansion standard “USBPD”.
USB terminals have been widely used in electronic devices all over the world.
As long as the power of USB terminals is increased, the universal interface for simultaneous data transmission and high-power power power supply and reception can be realized in many electronic devices. Therefore, by issuing small USB Type-C standards that can support forward and backward plug-in and USBPD standards that can make compatible devices larger, it is hopeful to improve the speed of interface generalization by leaps and bounds.
”ROHM products are characterized by the use of advanced BiCDMOS process and circuit technology advantages, thermostatic element higher integration.
“Manager Chen Xingle of ROHM Semiconductor (Shanghai) Design Center points out that miniaturization and functional optimization of products can be realized by taking advantage of ROHM’s advanced 0.13um BiCDMOS micro-process, high voltage withstanding process and circuit technology advantages.
It can reduce the accessory power supply and FET parts for power control. Compared with the general system, it can reduce the number of components including external power IC to more than 20.
In terms of specific functions, “BM92TxMWV Series” supports the latest USB Type-C standard Revl.l and USBPD standard Rev2.0. In the past, it can supply up to 100W (20V/SA) between USB Type-C devices that can only supply power within 7.5W. Therefore, even devices such as laptops and TVs that require higher power can be powered by USB terminals.
At the same time, in the traditional use of USB terminals such as smartphones and tablets, it can also achieve fast charging more than 4 times higher than before. In addition, it also supports Alternate-Mode control, which can transmit video signals through USB communication signal lines without special video ports. Therefore, it can transmit video signals at the same time of power supply, which is very helpful to build a more convenient environment.
