Advantages of the Solution

• Supports USB-PD, QC and other FCP, with high power output

MT5815 integrates USB-PD physical interface and protocol stack, it can directly obtain high power from the adapter that supports USB-PD protocol. It supports 50W output, providing customers economic advantages in terms of cost and PCB space. Besides, the chip is compliant with QC2.0/3.0, FCP, SCP, and other fast charging protocols to meet different application requirements.

• Cost effective solution with ARM M0 processor and 3 pairs of MOS drivers
  

MT5815 incorporates ARM M0 processor and 64kB Flash, provides powerful processing ability and coding space, and supports secondary application development carried out by customers; integrates three pairs of MOS drivers, and can simultaneously realize the arbitrary combination of frequency modulation, voltage regulation and phase modulation through flexible configuration of PWM generator; and a dual-channel completely independent wireless transmission dedicated PWM generator is integrated to realize one core charging two coils, which greatly reduces the module cost and development complexity.

• Highly integrated embedded SoC architecture and flexible interface to ensure high efficiency and low power consumption
  

MT5815 integrates all necessary functional modules for realizing wireless power transmission (except power MOSFET), and achieves the optimal performance among different power, efficiency and cost through reasonable selection of power MOSFET. The embedded innovative SoC system provides good hardware platform and external interface, to make the system to be safer and more efficient; the integrated high voltage BUCK reduces the power consumption of the transmitter at high voltage input, and supports different power consumption modes such as sleep, standby and low power consumption.

Maxic will continue to strive to offer more satisfied products to customers.
