    USB battery chargers play a crucial role in our daily lives, providing power for various portable devices such as electric toys, smart phones, laptops, power tools and electric bicycles. With a series of significant advantages, USB Type-C (USB-C interface) has surpassed other USB types and become the universal standard for wired charging and data transmission.
    Modern USB-C chargers equipped with the latest Power Delivery 3.1 (PD 3.1) charging protocol can now provide a power output of up to 240 watts (W), which greatly reduces the charging time and enhances the overall user experience at the same time. In addition, the adoption of wide bandgap semiconductors in hardware systems is bringing revolutionary efficiency improvements to charging devices: it not only reduces energy loss but also helps to shrink the size of the equipment.

Block diagram of USB-C battery charger

    The following block diagram shows the USB-C battery charger solution designed by onsemi. This figure illustrates the power management and power conversion technologies used in USB-C battery chargers. The components adopted include TP PFC controllers, high-frequency quasi-resonant flyback /LLC controllers, gate drivers, synchronous rectifier circuits, as well as iGaN and MOSFET devices. These components are divided into two parts: the primary side and the secondary side, to enhance the system efficiency. As shown in the following device table, most functional module devices can adopt ON Semiconductor's solutions.
