USB-C: The Smarter Power Solution

online, on-demand

Enhancing Efficiency and Reducing E-Waste for a Greener Future

USB Type-C Power Delivery (USB-C PD) is transforming the way devices are powered, establishing itself as the global standard for efficient energy transfer. No longer confined to conventional electronics, USB-C PD now extends to high-performance computing, e-mobility, and industrial automation, enabling universal and intelligent power management.

A key advantage of USB-C is its dual function as both a Source and a Sink, allowing devices to dynamically supply or receive power, optimising energy distribution while reducing reliance on proprietary chargers. A laptop can be powered by a monitor, an e-bike can charge via USB-C, and power tools can seamlessly integrate into a universal ecosystem.

Beyond technology, USB-C PD marks a significant step towards sustainability. Supporting up to 240W, it eliminates countless incompatible chargers, significantly reducing e-waste. This transition aligns with global regulations such as the EU Common Charger Directive, driving standardisation, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.

Join us for this webinar, where leading semiconductor manufacturers will share insights into high-efficiency power conversion, fast-charging technologies, and reference designs that simplify development. This is a unique opportunity to explore cutting-edge solutions and real-world applications that enhance efficiency, reduce waste, and improve system flexibility.
