Silanna Semiconductor, The Power Density Leader, and smart socket outlet specialist Smarter Living, have announced the world’s smallest 65W in-wall GaN (gallium nitride) fast charger.

Figure 1 shows that the launch of the new 65W in-wall charger, Smarter Living CEO Jean-Paul Otto, comments: “The demand for wall-mounted USB charging outlets is growing rapidly and customers are expecting increasingly higher output powers in the smallest form factors. Partnering with Silanna Semiconductor allows us to rapidly develop a series of charging sockets that address these requirements by offering high-performance, efficient and compact charging solutions that can quickly and easily be deployed across a variety of markets.” [1]

Measuring simply 42mm x 42mm x 30mm, the brand new 3510PDFE charger is constructed round Silanna’s SZ1131 lively clamp flyback (ACF) controller and is the primary in a sequence of small kind issue wall sockets that Smarter Residing shall be offering for international markets.

Smarter Residing’s 3510PDFE 65W charger supplies a single USB output, delivers energy supply (PD) voltage outputs of 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V and 20V and helps Programmable Energy Provide (PPS) charging. Output currents are as much as 3.25A.

The socket is designed for mounted installations and is totally compliant with worldwide IEC-EN 62368-1 electrical security requirements.[2]

The 3510PDFE has been tested by third-party testing laboratory DEKRA in accordance with thetest requirements to demonstrate full compliance with current low voltage and EMC directives.

Future products in the Smarter Living wall-mounted USB charger series will include 30W and 45W options with single and dual USB Type-C ports.

The SZ1131 incorporates an adaptive digital PWM controller, ultra-high-voltage (UHV) active clamp FET, active clamp gate driver and startup regulator.

Efficiencies of up to 95% across universal (90Vac – 265Vac) input voltages and varying loads and ultra-low no-load power of less than 20mW enable smaller form factors and reduce overall energy consumption.[3]
