Pulsiv Breaks Ground with 240W USB-C Charging Solution for High-Powered Devices
Pulsiv Limited, a UK-based innovator in power electronics, has become the first company to deliver 240W from a single USB-C port. This breakthrough, achieved by combining Pulsiv’s proprietary OSMIUM front-end technology with a high-power flyback design, represents a major shift in the USB-C charging landscape, where typical single-port chargers max out at 140W. With this new capability, devices requiring high power—such as gaming laptops, monitors, and small domestic appliances—can now benefit from the USB-C interface, bringing fast, efficient charging to a wider range of applications.
Traditionally, high-wattage chargers rely on Boost PFC+LLC topologies, which are often noisy, costly, and struggle with compliance requirements. Pulsiv’s OSMIUM technology allows a flyback topology to operate effectively at high power levels, resolving these issues and meeting strict EMC and line current standards. The result is a versatile 240W USB-C charger that can reduce charging times for battery-powered products by up to 80%, benefiting not only electronics but also household and portable appliances such as cordless power tools and kitchen devices.
Beyond charging applications, Pulsiv’s 240W USB-C power solution also has potential in products like televisions, monitors, and gaming consoles. By moving the power electronics into a USB-C charger, manufacturers can significantly reduce the size, weight, and production costs of these devices. This opens new design possibilities, making it easier to integrate powerful USB-C charging into both existing and future product lines.
Pulsiv offers three flexible options to adopt its 240W USB-C technology: a detailed reference design for custom builds, a standard fully assembled module for quick integration, and custom modules tailored to specific needs. Each solution provides new pathways for manufacturers to enhance or create products with unprecedented charging performance.
