The first impression of Oriental Super-Silicon 65W fast-charging DEMO is that its components are very compactly arranged and its volume is extremely small. At the same time, the design of this DEMO is also very aesthetically pleasing, being quite close to the PCBA of a finished charger.

The main body of the DEMO board is composed of three soldered PCBs. The bottom one serves as the main control PCB, with a transformer and output filter capacitors mounted on its front side. The PCB at the input end is mainly equipped with input filtering and rectifier circuits, while the output end features a small protocol board. As it is a DEMO (demonstration prototype), no potting compound has been applied between the components on the front side.

Oriental’s Super-Silicon 65W PD fast-charging charger adopts the Active-Clamp Flyback (ACF) topology. Viewed from the back of the PCB, the primary side is equipped with two high-voltage MOSFETs and two controllers; the secondary side is fitted with a synchronous rectification IC and a synchronous rectification MOSFET. It adopts optocoupler feedback, and there is a hollowed-out isolation design between the high-voltage side and the low-voltage side.

The UCC28780 primary-side controller from Texas Instruments (TI) operates at a frequency of up to 1 MHz, which is significantly higher than the frequency of common consumer switching power supplies. Meanwhile, it complies with increasingly stringent energy consumption and efficiency standards and incorporates a variety of built-in protection functions.

The OSS65R340JF, a high-voltage MOSFET from Oriental’s Super-Silicon series, boasts the ultra-low driving loss and switching loss that are typical of the Super-Silicon product line. Particularly when operating at a higher frequency of 400 kHz, it still maintains the same efficiency as gallium nitride (GaN) power devices. With extremely high efficiency, it can meet high energy efficiency requirements.

The other controller adopts ON Semiconductor’s NCP51530B, a 700V high-side and low-side driver with a 3.5A sourcing current and 3A sinking current driving capability, suitable for AC-DC power supplies and inverters. When operating at high frequencies, the NCP51530 delivers optimal propagation delay, low quiescent current, and low switching current. This chip is specifically designed for high-efficiency power supplies that operate at high frequencies. The NCP51530 is available in two versions: NCP51530A and NCP51530B. The NCP51530A features a typical propagation delay of 60 ns, while the NCP51530B has a typical propagation delay of 25 ns.

The other high-voltage MOSFET is Oriental’s OSG65R900DF, which adopts advanced GreenMOS technology. It offers low RDS(ON), low gate charge, fast switching, and excellent avalanche characteristics, making it suitable for active power factor correction (APFC) and switching power supply applications.

Summary：

In recent years, consumer demand for fast-charging accessories with high power density has grown increasingly robust. High-power, high-density USB PD fast-charging power supplies have emerged as new favorites in the market, experiencing rapid development. Seizing this opportunity, Oriental Semiconductor has launched its Super-Silicon series MOSFETs, which boast a switching frequency of over 1 MHz—on par with gallium nitride (GaN) power devices. This technology enables high-power fast-charging products to achieve high power density at lower costs, enhancing their market competitiveness.

Oriental Semiconductor’s 65W PD fast-charging DEMO board, developed based on Super-Silicon technology, features compact size, high power output, and high efficiency. Tests conducted by ChargerLAB show that the bare board dimensions are only 51mm × 39mm × 23mm, with a power density of 1.42W/cm³—ranking among the leading levels in fast-charging solutions of the same power class.

Further testing reveals that this DEMO board supports the USB PD3.0 fast-charging standard. When charging mainstream devices such as the iPhone, Xiaomi 9, Samsung S20+, and MacBook Pro, it can normally enter the USB PD fast-charging state. In terms of efficiency, with a 230V AC input, the board-terminal efficiency can reach up to 94%—high efficiency effectively reduces heat generation. For temperature rise performance, without any auxiliary heat dissipation measures, the board demonstrates solid performance under three load modes: 18W, 45W, and 65W.

Currently, mass-produced high-power-density fast-charging solutions on the market are generally developed based on GaN power devices. While GaN solutions have gained wide consumer acceptance, their costs are relatively high. In contrast, Oriental’s Super-Silicon technology also delivers performance comparable to GaN fast chargers, including fast switching speeds, high power density, and high efficiency—making it a standout innovation.

As a technology-driven semiconductor company, Oriental Semiconductor has accumulated profound expertise in core semiconductor device technologies. It focuses on innovation in semiconductor device technology and holds multiple core patents in this field. It is understood that Oriental’s GreenMOS series products are among the earliest domestically mass-produced high-voltage super-junction products to enter industrial applications. Holding a leading position among domestic brands, these products are widely used in high-power application scenarios such as charging pile modules and communication power supplies.
