Infineon Technologies AG has expanded its cooperation with Anker to develop a high-speed, compact charger capable of delivering up to 160 watts of power. The project resulted in the release of a charger that combines compact design with high power density, incorporating Infineon’s digital controller and gallium nitride (GaN) technology.
The charger utilizes Infineon’s XDP™ XDPS2221E hybrid-flyback digital controller and CoolGaN™ transistors to support high-frequency, high-efficiency power conversion. Key design features include the integration of power factor correction (PFC) and hybrid-flyback stages to optimize performance and reduce component size. The charger provides up to 140 watts from individual USB-C ports, with dynamic allocation of 160 watts across multiple devices.
Infineon’s system-level approach includes the use of integrated GaN driver-transistor combinations and dual-transistor packages, allowing for improved thermal performance and reduced board space. The overall design minimizes peripheral components and supports cost-effective system layouts.
The collaboration is supported by an innovation center in Shenzhen, established by both companies to focus on efficient power solutions and fast-charging system development.
The new charger will be featured during CES 2026 in Las Vegas.
