Fast USB Charging for Apple and Samsung Smartphones, Cameras, Tablets and Laptops

SAN MARCOS, Calif. – January 24, 2023 – Brightworks Technology, Inc., a global leader in providing Contract Manufacturing Services (CMS) and AC/DC power solutions to OEMs worldwide, announces the design and production of PD3.0-compliant fast mobile chargers for consumer and industrial applications. Samples of the new PD3.0 charger are available now and will be on display during APEC in Brightworks’ booth 108.

Designed for long life and high reliability, the new pocket-sized chargers are available in 20W, 30W, 65W and 100W versions and are compatible with Apple®, Samsung®, Google®, LG®, and other brands. They are ideal for charging mobile phones, notebooks, tablets, portable devices, test instruments, and audio/video gear. The four compact chargers with the 65W and 100W models featuring exchangeable AC plugs, are available with a USB-A and USB-C ports in configurations from one to four ports.
Whether a small phone or a large laptop, the USB-C PD3.0 charger detects the connected device to deliver the right amount of power to charge that device quickly. This ability ensures fast charging without delivering too much power, which could damage battery circuitry. Through the use of an intelligent communication protocol, the chargers automatically select the appropriate DC output voltage required for the user device to be charged (standard outputs are 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V and 20V).

With excellent full load efficiency, the PD3.0 chargers (30 watts and above) utilize Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductors making the chargers faster, smaller, cooler and more power-efficient than many other commodity chargers on the market.

“Our new line of PD3.0-compatible chargers have been very well received as OEMs are looking for highly reliable, robust and long-life mobile chargers to provide to their customers,” stated Robert L. Carl, president of Brightworks Technology, Inc. “Our high-level engineering design standards, low power controllers, thermal management, quality electrolytic capacitors, GaN semiconductors, and efficient layout contribute to the charger’s high quality, ruggedness, and compact size.”

The PD3 Series meets the U.S. Department of Energy’s Level 6 requirements and E.U. CoC requirements. Operating over a universal AC input ranging from 100V to 240 Vac (90Vac to 264Vac), the mobile chargers provide a precise regulated single output voltage according to the demand of the PD3.0 device. The PD3 Series has excellent electrical and thermal performance using creative circuit design and optimized component placements.

Brightworks can mass-produce the chargers in custom colors with customer branding and retail packaging. In addition, interchangeable blades for international use are available. “We are very flexible in working with our OEM partners,” noted Carl. “And with our high-volume manufacturing campus in Vietnam, we help our global customers overcome costly supply chain obstacles providing a reduced time-to-market.”

Samples of the PD3 Series chargers are available now, and sales orders can be placed immediately. For more information, visit Brightworks at: www.brightworks-usa.com.
