According to foreign media reports, was pioneered by Qualcomm, Qualcomm, mediatek's smart phone quick charge function, after years of changes for three times, although the 2016 still looks only high-end mobile phones are willing to pay, however, has recently because the subject of the Pokemon GO game too power-hungry, and rose again.
Due to the fast charging function can effectively improve consumer experience, combined with virtual reality (VR), smart phones, tablets, smart wear and unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) still more and more mobile device products, Taiwan IC design industry in bullish on fast charging specification will become the new mainstream design trends, including chow, to new, the treasure, tong jia and clear Yan subsequent operating explosive growth, a very superior.
Qualcomm "Quick Charge" Quick Charge specification has grown to version 3.0, mediatek "Pump Express" also has is the third generation, electricity flow more rapid charging design in an instant, the mobile phone and the power supply itself will have to make some change, must purchase a higher unit price of analog IC and protection components, in the time cost to bargain too frequently over the past few years, the rapid charging specification has been failed to sell.
However, in the above two companies quick charge specifications have ascended to relative perfection, short-term to redesign the chance is not big, plus brand mobile phone customers in domestic and foreign also began to focus of innovation, the user experience, and Apple (Apple) iPhone 7 in 2016 will also be synchronous movement of change the mobile phone charger design, keep the cell phone quick charge function again onto the stage.
As for the Pokemon GO game for an hour at least 30% of power consumption, is the role of combustion, let fast charging specification was stationed on the high-end mobile phones, instant outward to start a prairie fire, including tablets, VR devices, wearable and unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) device such as a new generation of mobile products, will quickly almost customers have begun charging standard specifications in mind.
System analog IC suppliers, points out that the original machine factory support more rapid charging specification of mediatek Pump Express, but in the merger of mediatek chow, also after the launch of the latest board solutions, including new, fine and the treasure has begun to qualcomm, competition with foreign iWatt and PI, as for the related higher unit price protection components, by crystal Yan preferential benefit.
Industry is pointed out that the chip business opportunities, fast charging specification can bring about is analog IC solution and protection devices, steps to speed up the new quick charge on the client specification, expected in 2016 and 2017, the quick charge related to the chip market demand growth rate will be quite striking, after all, the maximum amount to mobile device products markets around the world, even if only 10% of customers use, can bring us $chip business opportunities.
In addition to the quick charge chip is expected to benefit from, mobile power products will also be old new Fried dishes, including far xiang (has been analogy), loose hands and MCU to new unit and analog IC product line, also is the future of emerging chip business, but this part of the continental competition pressure slants big, so the factory can really eat to market pie, I'm afraid is limited to a very high order mobile power products.
