Develop high-efficiency, high-power-density charging solutions with a low BOM

Silanna’s new RD-5 reference design combines our CO2 Smart Power (TM) families of advanced ACF controllers and high-frequency DC/DC converters to provide a production-ready solution for multi-port 65W USB-PD applications.

AnyPort will simplify and speed charger development by providing everything an engineer needs to rapidly prototype and test a fully functional 65W 2C unit.

The design, which combines Silanna’s SZ1130 fully-integrated AC/DC active clamp flyback (ACF) controller and two of the company’s SZPL3102 DC/DC converters, provides a cased power density of 11.4W/inch3 and operates with an end-to-end peak efficiency in excess of 91.5%.

The SZ1130/1131

Silanna’s ultra-high-efficiency SZ1130 and SZ1131 ACF controllers are now in full production and rated for powers up to 65W in universal input designs and above 100W in PFC applications.

The controller integrates into an ultra-compact 16-pin SOIC package an adaptive digital PWM controller, ultra-high-voltage (UHV) active clamp FET, active clamp gate driver and startup regulator and provides the simplicity of a simple flyback controller with all the benefits of an ACF design.

This includes recycling the leakage inductance energy of the flyback transformer and limiting the primary FET drain voltage spike during turn-off events. Employing Silanna Semiconductor’s OptiModeTM digital control architecture, the SZ1130 adjusts the device’s mode of operation on a cycle-by-cycle basis to maintain high efficiency, low EMI, fast dynamic load regulation, and other key power supply parameters in response to varying line voltage and load conditions.
