Renesas introduces a new Type-C port controller and booster battery charger, as well as a high-performance USB PD EPR solution based on both products
Date:January 30, 2025    Views:55

    New solutions bring superior efficiency and safety features to power tools, portable vacuum cleaners, lawn mowers, two-wheelers and more
    Renesas Electronics (TSE: 6723), a global provider of semiconductor solutions, today announced the availability of the RAA489118 booster battery charger and RAA489400 Type-C™ port controller. The two new ics are combined to create a superior Extended Power Range (EPR) USB Power transfer (PD) solution.

    As a leading global provider of USB-PD solutions, Renesas offers a comprehensive range of products for a wide range of application scenarios, including turnkey solutions. With an extensive development environment and pre-certified USB-IF reference design, we help customers reduce time to market. Renesas USB-PD solutions deliver superior quality and safety, as well as high efficiency and power density.
    The RAA489118 can be used either as a battery charger supporting 2 to 7 cells in series, or as a voltage regulator supporting 30V input and 30V output. It uses Renesas' patented R3™ (Robust Ripple Regulator) technology, combining the best features of fixed frequency and hysteresis pulse width modulation (PWM) technology. R3 modulation technology extends battery life by enabling silent noise operation, fast dynamic response, and best-in-class light load efficiency.
    The RAA489118 contains the SMBus (System Management Bus) interface, which is widely used in power tools, household appliances and light industrial products. The SMBus interface, combined with the lift and bidirectional characteristics, enables the RAA489118 to work seamlessly with the RAA489400, as well as other components in the USB-C PD embodiment. Its input and output voltage levels are also matched with the mainstream solar power supply voltage level, which is an ideal choice for solar portable power plant applications.
     The RAA489400 port controller supports USB-PD VBUS power up to 48V/5A with integrated PHY, Sink and Source power path gate drivers with external NFET, short circuit protection, VBUS discharge, a VCONN MUX, and dead battery support.
    Chris Allexandre, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Power at Renesas said: "For many years Renesas has been a global leader in battery charging thanks to its advanced technology, high adaptability and superior value. The RAA489118 and RAA489400 combine these advantages with Renesas' strong tradition of safety and reliability for new applications such as power tools and light industrial products. We expect this product to be warmly received by customers in several markets and to generate strong demand."
