Infineon Technologies with Anker Innovations announces a joint Innovation Application Center, R&D hub in Shenzhen to innovate across fast charging technology, GaN Technology.
Planned in 2021, after two years, the Anker-Infineon Innovation Application Center is now completely operational.
The Anker-Infineon Innovation Application Center, R&D hub aims to cater for the growing demand for fast charging solutions.
The applications center also aims to create energy-efficient and CO2-saving charging solutions that support decarbonization.
Anker-Infineon partnership lays the foundation on the behest of the growing demand for fast charging solutions.
Specifically, consumer electronics like mobile devices, laptops and other battery-powered devices are in a hint for fast charging solutions where Anker-Infineon aims to cater the demand while creating a greener world.
The joint lab by Anker-Infineon now serves as an R&D hub for industry experts to develop power-delivery (PD) fast charging solutions with higher power density, mainly based on Infineon’s next-generation Hybrid Flyback (HFB) controller product family and the CoolGaN™ IPS for fast chargers above 100W.
Anker has already brought several successful products to the market, such as the industry- leading 100W+ fast charger device powered by Infineon’s CoolGaN in 2022. With the Innovation Application Center Anker and Infineon will even shorten the application cycle and accelerate the time to market for future products.
“Anker is an important customer for Infineon,” said Christian Burrer, Vice President of Systems & Application Marketing of the Power & Sensor Systems Division at Infineon Technologies. “We have already started a strong cooperation in the charging field, with product and system solutions covering several Infineon product lines. In the field of PD charging, we provide our customers with a comprehensive product portfolio, including state-of-the-art power controllers, first-class switching power supplies, leading silicon MOSFET and GaN transistor performance, and more.”
Beyond charging solutions, the joint R&D hub by Anker-Infineon is focusing on a more diversified range of consumer applications, driven by Infineon’s expertise in wide-bandgap materials such as gallium nitride (GaN).
The acquisition of GaN Systems in 2023 has significantly accelerated Infineon’s GaN roadmap and further strengthened its leadership in power systems through mastery of all relevant power semiconductor technologies.
“In 2023, Anker achieved success in many markets such as China and Europe. This would not have been possible without Infineon’s GaN technology solutions and the strong collaboration between our companies. We look forward to even intensifying our partnership with Infineon”, said by Kang Xiong, General Manager of the charging business unit at Anker Technologies.
