FAST CHARGING DRIVER
DRIVE
December 1, 2022
The present disclosure provides a fast charging driver. The fast charging driver is configured to charge a battery of an electronic device. The fast charging driver includes a fast charging circuit and a charging controller. The fast charging circuit includes a first depletion-type GaN transistor, a first enhancement-type field effect transistor, a second depletion-type GaN transistor and a second enhancement-type field effect transistor. The charging controller is configured to control the fast charging circuit to operate in a constant current mode or a constant voltage mode according to a battery level of the battery. By utilizing the first depletion-type GaN transistor and the second depletion-type GaN transistor with a characteristic of a relatively low switching loss, the power consumption during charging the battery by the fast charging driver is decreased to improve the charge speed.
