Design of Multi-protocol Fast Charging Charger for Mobile Smart Devices Based on Gallium Nitride
摘要
Fast chargers play an important role in supporting smart city development by enabling access to mobile applications, location-based services, and real-time data systems. As mobile internet technology advances, smartphones are becoming increasingly powerful, but their energy consumption continues to rise. However, the lack of compatibility between fast-charging protocols from different manufacturers presents a challenge for universal charging solutions. To address this, a multi-protocol fast charging charger has been designed to support a range of fast charging technologies. The charger adopts a quasi-resonant (QR) flyback architecture with a GaN power stage and a dedicated controller. This design allows for higher efficiency and compact size, making it well-suited for modern mobile device demands within the broader context of smart city infrastructure. In this work, an experimental prototype was successfully built. The experimental results show that the fast-charging charger can achieve a fast-charging function with a maximum output power of 30 W and has Type-C and Type-A interfaces. It is convenient for fast charging of various data lines. And support 90Vac ~ 264 Vac wide voltage input in line with the AC input of various countries. The Type-C interface supports up to 20 V/1.5 A output. It meets the limits of U.S. DOE Level VI and EU Regulation 2019/1782 in our measurements. In addition, the compatibility of the charging and discharging fast charging protocol of the system prototype has been tested, and it can be quickly charged with a variety of mobile phones that support the fast-charging protocol. It has advantages of high-power density, high conversion efficiency and strong compatibility.
