Slow charging smartphones have been a relic
of days gone by since most manufacturers have switched to fast charging.
Samsung, it seems wants to speed things up significantly further and has now
reported two USB Type-C power delivery controllers, SE8A and MM101. With these
new power delivery controllers, Samsung claims that power chargers will most
likely speak with the gadget and convey the perfect measure of power. This will
empower the power charger to convey the higher possible power to the
smartphone, helping it charge rapidly without hurting the gadget.
The new SE8A and MM101 Samsung chips have an
installed Flash (eFlash), which allows these chips to be updated to meet new
charging specifications. The two chips are also equipped for conveying 100W of power
(20V/5A) and meet the USB-PD 3.0 specifications. As indicated by Samsung, the
SE8A is the first power delivery controller in the industry to install Secure An element which adds an additional layer of security. The SE8A provides security
key storage and can encode and disentangle sensitive information on the
smartphone. The SE8A also supports the USB Type-C Authentication, a
confirmation program for USB chargers and devices that prevents misuse of
unapproved products.
The MM101 chip supports asymmetric encryption
calculation, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is used for item
confirmation. MM101 chip also includes moisture sensing to ensure safe charging
conditions.
Since these new chips support up to 100W of
information, these controllers can be used in an assortment of gadget other
than smartphones such as tablets, monitors, and laptops. Both also give
over-voltage insurance to extra safety.
The Samsung MM101 is as of now sampling and
the SE8A is in mass generation. With 100W charging speeds, long charging times
could soon be a relic of past times.
