Power management solution reduces charging time by 50 percent

ST-Ericsson is launching a power management solution that significantly reduces the charging time for mobile devices from a wall socket. This innovation is part of ST-Ericsson’s latest PowerHUB™ family of products that will also harvest energy from a wide range of sources, allowing people to charge their mobile devices faster, while contributing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

With the compact and cost-effective PM2300, a 3 A charger can be used, instead of the standard 1.5 A charger, thus reducing the charging time by up to 50 percent. This also allows the mobile device to be charged while being used intensively in charging mode. To save space and improve efficiency, the PM2300 uses an innovative dual DC/DC structure made up of two small coils, rather than one large coil. The first tablets equipped with the PM2300 are expected to be launched commercially in the fall of 2011.

Our PowerHUB product line will come with a full range of innovative products combining conventional charging technologies and new energy sources, thus providing a new level of flexibility and scalability for the energy management in portable devices.

Using leading-edge micro and nanotechnologies, ST-Ericsson is developing  new PowerHUB solutions that will be able to draw energy from solar cells, wireless chargers and physical movement, automatically using the optimum power source or best combination of sources available at any time for maximum efficiency.
