Infineon and Anker open application centre

News

Joint lab is developing fast charging solutions around Infineon’s Hybrid Flyback controller and CoolGaN products

Infineon has announced its joint Innovation Application Centre in Shenzhen with charging specialist Anker, driven by the growing consumer demand for faster charging solutions for mobile devices, laptops and other battery-powered devices.

The idea of establishing an Anker-Infineon Innovation Application Centre dates back to 2021. After two years of preparation, the joint lab now serves as R&D hub 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 100W+ fast charger device powered by Infineon’s CoolGaN in 2022. With the Innovation Application Centre Anker and Infineon says they 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, VP of Systems & Application Marketing of 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 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 lab is focusing on a more diversified range of consumer applications, driven by Infineon’s expertise in wide-bandgap materials such as GaN. The acquisition of GaN Systems in 2023 has significantly accelerated Infineon’s GaN roadmap and further strengthens 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.
