The Smallest, Thinnest, Lightest, Universal Fast Charger Ever

Leave a comment


News Image


DUBLIN, Ireland (PRWEB)

Navitas Semiconductor announced today that OPPO, a world-leading phone manufacturer had adopted its gallium nitride (GaNFast™) power ICs to enable the world’s smallest, thinnest and lightest 50W fast charger. Measuring only 82 x 39 x 10.5 mm (34 cc) and as light as 60 g, there is for the first time a fast charger is as thin as the phone itself. The Mini provides the full 50W via OPPO’s pioneering SuperVOOC fast-charging protocol, or the USB-C Programmable Power Supply (PPS) specification. It’s a flexible device, capable of charging smartphones, tablets and many laptops. It’s also the same size as the very popular Asian “Wang Wang” brand rice cookie – which has led many to refer to it as the ‘cookie’ charger.

The 50W Mini SuperVOOC charger was launched on July 15th by Jialiang (Jeff) ZHANG, Chief Charging Technology Scientist at OPPO, who said “Using gallium nitride devices to drive transformers to very high frequencies has been the dream of all technical workers for many years”, adding “GaN devices will trigger a technological revolution in the field of power supplies.”

Gallium nitride (GaN) is a next-generation semiconductor technology that runs up to 20x faster than old, slow silicon (Si), and enables 3x more power, which translates to up to 3x faster charging in half the size & weight. Navitas’ GaNFast power ICs monolithically integrate GaN power, GaN analog and GaN logic circuits on the same chip, to enable faster, reliable, efficient operation.

For the 50W Mini, the high-speed performance of GaNFast power ICs opened the door to a new circuit topology – the ‘pulsed’ active-clamp flyback (ACF) which can tolerate a very wide input voltage range while maintaining a steady output to charge the phone battery. This allows the designer to remove the electrolytic ‘bulk capacitor’ from the system which can take up 40% of the total volume. In addition, running 16x faster than traditional chargers meant that a traditional 50 kHz ‘wire-wound’ transformer with over 20mm height can be replaced with a new high-speed 800 kHz, 8 mm planar transformer for an extremely low-profile and lightweight form-factor.

The new topology also allows OPPO’s proprietary ‘direct-charge’ approach to reduce wear-out mechanisms and extend phone battery life.

“The 50W Mini is a great example of a next-generation fast charger, where new materials, new architectures & new component technology combine to create a revolution in power electronic s,” said Stephen Oliver, Navitas’ Vice-President Marketing and Investor Relations, adding “We’re at the point where GaN fast chargers have stepped far beyond boutique accessories and are now addressing high-volume, cost-effective and extremely high-performance markets… the writing is on the wall for old, slow silicon chips.”

About Navitas:

Navitas Semiconductor Inc. is the world’s first and only GaN Power IC company, founded in 2014. Navitas has a strong and growing team of power semiconductor industry experts with a combined 200 years of experience in materials, devices, applications, systems and marketing, plus a proven record of innovation with over 300 patents among its founders. GaN power ICs monolithically-integrate GaN power, GaN analog and GaN logic circuits to enable faster charging, higher power density and greater energy savings for mobile, consumer, enterprise, eMobility and new energy markets. Over 100 Navitas patents are issued or pending.

“SkyOp can help corporations eliminate the guessing game when it comes to evaluating the business impacts of a drone program,” said Brian Pitre, SkyOp LLC’s Founder and Chairman of the Board.


CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. (PRWEB)

SkyOp LLC, a leader in the training and deployment of drone technology, announced that it has launched a new consultancy division for enterprise-level corporations seeking to realize the advantages drone technology can deliver for large-scale businesses. Through its commercial UAV training division and its work implementing educational curricula in high schools and colleges, SkyOp has helped numerous clients navigate the intricacies of creating and scaling complex drone programs. With the launch of its Enterprise Drone Consultancy, SkyOp is meeting the growing demand from businesses seeking to develop and deploy UAV technology for its inherent competitive advantages and impactful results to worker safety. To help guide executives through the application of drone technology for their unique needs, SkyOp has created a series of free assessment tools from which its program specialists will develop a customized implementation strategy. To access the no-cost assessment tools, interested enterprise corporations can visit: https://www.skyop.com/create-a-drone-program/

Leveraging its years of expertise, SkyOp is able to help enterprise corporations evaluate drone applications, establish the necessary internal compliance and policy procedures, and maximize the competitive advantage UAVs can deliver. As enterprise corporations seek to limit personal interactions throughout their operations due to the Covid-19 outbreak, drones can help reduce risk, lower costs, improve operational efficiency and productivity, and even open entirely new revenue streams for a business. Yet, many corporate decision-makers need assistance in determining exactly how drones can impact their business, how to go about building or scaling a program, and above all, how to deliver consistent return on their drone investment.

Proprietary Cloud-Based Guide Tools

SkyOp’s “Ultimate Drone Reference Guide,” which initially served as the delivery platform for its interactive educational curricula, has evolved into a one-of-a-kind tool that enables SkyOp specialists to lead enterprise corporations through the complex process of realizing the benefits of aerial drones for its own unique business model. From initial drone application ideation, to development of corporate procedures consistent with local, state and federal regulations, to creation of internal pilot training and data analysis capabilities, this proprietary cloud-based platform represents a one-of-a-kind collection of industry expertise.

“SkyOp can help corporations eliminate the guessing game when it comes to evaluating the business impacts of a drone program,” said Brian Pitre, SkyOp LLC’s Founder and Chairman of the Board. “More often than not, the idea for an enterprise-wide program starts with an engineer or industrial inspection specialist that sees the value of UAVs, but needs some expertise to back up their pitch to the C-suite. Our assessment tools and the initial insights our specialists can provide at no-cost will be invaluable to those that see the inherent competitive advantage that drones can bring to their respective fields.”

Overcoming the Covid-19 World

SkyOp is also rapidly expanding its Virtual Drone Flight Training capabilities to accommodate the unique demands being foisted upon the industry by the current Covid-induced travel and social distancing restrictions. These new capabilities will not only enable its individual pilot instruction and institutional educational curricula clients to seamlessly progress student learning, but ensure enterprise clients are still able to develop and deploy drones regardless of the public health restrictions on in-person instruction.

“In this time when it’s advisable to ensure social distancing we’ve designed an effective alternative to face-to-face instruction using distance learning tools for our clients and partners,” said Pitre. “While we routinely support our institutional educators and corporate drone trainers remotely, we are continuing to meet the evolving demands of this pandemic by reinventing the way in which we deliver some of our lessons.

This award is indicative of our diligence to support not only TSI Healthcare’s growing client base, but to also support one another.


CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (PRWEB)

TSI Healthcare, a national leader in the sales and support of customized NextGen® Practice Management (PM) and Electronic Health Records (EHR) solutions, has once again established itself as a leader in the healthcare industry. For the ninth consecutive year, TSI Healthcare has been recognized by Modern Healthcare as one of the premier companies for workplace development and team member satisfaction.

TSI Healthcare’s acknowledgement as one of the top 150 “Best Places to Work in Healthcare” follows accolades the company also received for its outstanding customer service. Earlier this year, TSI Healthcare earned recognition in the form of its sixth consecutive Stevie Award® for “Sales and Customer Service” in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Related Industries category. For the last six years, TSI Healthcare has been the only EHR/PM company to earn combined recognition from these award programs.

Modern Healthcare seeks to identify hospitals, health plans, private and academic practices, and healthcare suppliers nationwide whose team members express the highest job satisfaction. To receive recognition for the 2020 “Best Places to Work in Healthcare,” companies must demonstrate elite offerings in company culture, compensation, and benefits. To ensure the award is a true representation of its namesake, Modern Healthcare provides team members with a significant role in the award process: 75 percent of the total award rating is collected from company team members’ feedback. During an especially challenging year of battling the COVID-19 pandemic, TSI Healthcare exceeds workplace satisfaction rankings in the healthcare industry.

“TSI Healthcare is truly honored to be named as one of Modern Healthcare’s ‘Best Places to Work in Healthcare’ for the ninth consecutive year,” said David M. Dickson, Jr., TSI Healthcare’s founder, president, and CEO. “The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly impacted the healthcare industry. I’m extremely proud of the commitment displayed by every single team member at TSI Healthcare to ensure our clients and staff remain safe and successful. This award is indicative of our diligence to support not only TSI Healthcare’s growing client base, but to also support one another.”

The published list of honorees may be found online here. Specific rankings will be announced live at the awards gala on October 8, 2020, at the Radisson Blu Aqua hotel in Chicago, IL.
