210W oplader 'fylder' mobilbatteriet på bare ni minutter

120W mobilopladeren til den nye Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Explorer er bygget op omkring Navitas Semiconductor GaNFast power IC'er, der gør det muligt at oplade fra en til 100 procent på kun ni minutter (in english).

Navitas Semiconductor has announced its next-gen GaNFast power ICs have been used by Xiaomi Redmi for their 120 W (Note Pro+) and 210 W (Note 12 Explorer) ultra-fast smartphone chargers.

The new Redmi Note 12 Explorer and Redmi Note 12 Pro+ are the first equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 chipset, with large 107.4 mm / 6.67” FHD+ OLED displays and 120 Hz refresh rate. Both phones feature 16 MP front, and 200 MP rear cameras – a huge step in mobile filming.

To support such powerful performance, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ has a 5,000 mAhr battery with 'in-box' 120 W GaN charger, measuring only 59.4 x 56.2 x 28.8 mm (96 cc), and with power density of 1.25 W/cc. A GaNFast power IC with GaNSense technology (NV6136A) is used in the high-frequency DC-DC stage (QR flyback). A full charge takes only 19 minutes.

For the Redmi Note 12 Explorer, the landmark 210 W ultra-fast charger is able to charge a 4,300 mAhr battery to 66% in just 5 minutes, and complete a 1-100% charge in only 9 minutes. Thanks to high-speed, feature-rich GaNFast ICs, the massive 210 W of power takes only 67.3 x 64.3 x 30 mm (130 cc), reaching 1.62 W/cc power density.

This charger innovatively adopts a pioneering PFC (with NV6127) and ACF/QR (NV6136A) hybrid platform. The platform adds high-efficiency ACF functionality to the proven, low system-cost, low voltage-stress QR baseline.

Mr. Xiang WANG, Partner and President of Xiaomi Group, explains:

- We are very happy to collaborate with Navitas Semiconductor again. The 210 W ultra-fast charger launched with the Redmi Note 12 ‘Explorer Edition’ has once again refreshed the mobile-phone charging experience, and officially shortened the charging time to the ‘single-digit-minutes’ era.

Charles (Yingjie) ZHA, VP and GM of Navitas China, congratulated on the launch of Redmi latest smartphones:

- It is a great honor that Xiaomi Redmi smartphone selected Navitas GaN solutions once again. And we are pleased to witness that our pioneering PFC+ACF/QR hybrid platform has fulfilled its mission to help the Redmi Note 12 Explorer set a new benchmark for ultra-fast charging. We will continue to push the innovation of GaN technology as we are on a mission to ‘Electrify Our World’ and help Xiaomi and Xiaomi’s brands to build leading, powerful and eco-friendly power products.
