Fully integrated controller for multiport smart chargers
The ST-ONEMP is the world’s first digital controller embedding an Arm® Cortex® M0+ core, an offline programmable controller with synchronous rectification, and USB PD PHY in a single package. It is designed to control ZVS noncomplementary active clamp flyback converters in high power density chargers and adapters with a primary USB Power Delivery interface and a secondary output.
The device consists of an active clamp flyback controller with high-voltage startup circuitry on the primary side, and a microcontroller along with the peripherals required to control power conversion and USB Power Delivery communication on the secondary side. The two sides are connected through an embedded galvanically isolated dual communication channel. The novel noncomplementary control technique and special power modes allow the device to achieve high overall efficiency and low no-load power consumption.
The device comes with preloaded firmware for power conversion and USB Power Delivery communication, including optional PPS and electronically marked cable management. The output power and available PDOs on the USB-PD port can be changed through a power sharing pin input to allow power sharing with a second output.
The user can change the default device configuration stored in a dedicated memory area or adapt this memory area to suit the final applications requirements.
Key features
