ST-Ericsson Launches Innovative Charging Solution for Mobile Devices
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
First member of new PowerHUB(TM) family to reduce charging time by 50 percent
Geneva, February 9, 2011 - ST-Ericsson, a world leader in wireless platforms and
semiconductors, is launching a power management solution that significantly
reduces the charging time for mobile devices from a wall socket. This innovation
is part of ST-Ericsson's new PowerHUB(TM) family of products that will also
harvest energy from a wide range of sources, making it quicker for people to
charge their mobile devices, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
With the compact and cost-effective PM2300, a 3 amps charger can be used,
instead of the standard 1.5 amps, thus reducing by 50 percent the charging time.
This also allows the mobile device to be charged while being used intensively in
charging mode. The first tablets equipped with the PM2300 are set to be launched
commercially in the fall of 2011.
"We are creating easier, greener, faster, in short more innovative, ways to
power up smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices. People can recharge
their batteries more quickly and thus enjoy a better mobile experience," said
Patrick Dureault, vice president, head of Analog & Mixed Signal business unit at
ST-Ericsson. "For ST-Ericsson this is only the beginning, as the PM2300 will be
followed by more and more PowerHUB(TM) energy harvesting solutions in 2011."
PowerHUB(TM) will come with a full range of innovative products combining
conventional charging technologies and new energy sources, thus providing a new
level of flexibility and scalability for the energy management in portable
devices.
According to IHS iSuppli research, ST-Ericsson is the leading supplier in mobile
handset standalone analog baseband ICs, with an estimated global market share of
32% in 2010.
Using leading-edge micro and nanotechnologies, ST-Ericsson is developing future
PowerHUB(TM) solutions that will be able to draw energy from solar cells,
wireless chargers and physical movement, automatically using the optimum power
source or best combination of sources available at any time for maximum
efficiency.
Notes to Editors
To save space and improve efficiency, the PM2300 uses an innovative dual DC/DC
structure made up of two small coils, rather than one large coil.
