Halo Microelectronics announced the release of its HL7090, a fully automatic and highly integrated lithium battery charging management IC with one switching charger, two linear chargers, and full-range programmable charge parameters through an I2C compatible interface. The HL7090 is a compact, flexible, and high-efficiency switching-mode charge management IC for single-cell Li-ion and Li-polymer batteries used […]
USB Type-C V BUS combo switch carries over-current/voltage protection
Halo Microelectronics announced the release of HL5099, a USB Type-C VBUS Combo Switch with Protection. The HL5099 provides a dual-channel VBUS power switch with 3.3V low dropout (LDO) for USB power delivery (PD) applications. The device includes a bi-directional high-voltage switch that can support up to 22V sink and 6V source voltage, a VOTG switch […]
Voltage level translator provides ESD protection for SIM card ports
Halo Microelectronics announced the release of HL5301, a SIM card interface level translator. The HL5301 is a subscriber identity module (SIM)/smart card level translator that provides the level shifting and IEC61000-4-2 electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for SIM card ports. The HL5301 device integrates two unidirectional level shifters for the RST and CLK signals, and bi-directional […]
Dual-phase switched-capacitor ICs fast-charge single-cell batteries
Halo Microelectronics announced the release of their HL7138 and HL7139, fast charging solution ICs using a dual-phase switched capacitor architecture for single-cell battery applications. The HL7138 and HL7139 offer the industry’s highest charging efficiencies, which enable faster and cooler battery charging operations in a total PCB solution size that’s up to 30% smaller than the […]
Super-efficient dc-dc converters target fast-charging mobile device apps
Halo Microelectronics announced two new products that utilize switched capacitor architecture to deliver 98% efficiency DC-DC conversion, which outperforms traditional DC-DC converters by up to 10% efficiency. This higher efficiency significantly reduces the thermal dissipation in mobile devices such as smartphones, thus enabling more power to be delivered to the battery and resulting in a […]
