More efficient charging for mobile phones

Leveraging mixed-signal processing to enable faster charging

With more reliance on our mobile devices, productivity is critical. The ability to fully charge our devices in a hurry can be the difference in terms of productivity on a plane, the ability to get real time updates from colleagues or simply keeping kids entertained on that long car ride.

Battery Charging and Thermal Management

In today’s phones, fast charging is limited by thermal efficiency. With inductive based solutions, fast chargers simply overheat and then must reduce charge rates to remain safe. Cirrus logic is leveraging switch-cap fast chargers to enable much higher efficiency which can lead to lowering heat dissipation. By lowering heat dissipation, the IC can charge faster for a longer period of time, resulting in faster charge times.
