PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 6, 2016--
Lattice
Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:LSCC), the leading provider of
customizable smart connectivity solutions, today announced that the
company’s flexible charging controller family, the LIF-UC™ family,
supports the Qualcomm® Quick Charge™ standard. Quick Charge
2.0 and 3.0 technologies are products of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a
subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated. Faster charging is becoming
increasingly important as more powerful devices are released to the
market. To support this, Qualcomm Technologies’ Power Management ICs
(PMICs) have optimized charging architectures within mobile devices by
taking advantage of the Quick Charge technologies.
Lattice delivers ICs for power adapters to ensure proper communication
with the PMIC used in mobile devices. The LIF-UC device family offers
flexible programming to enable customers to differentiate and future
proof their designs. By updating firmware for Lattice solutions,
engineers can quickly move from different generations of charging
specifications, including Quick Charge, Battery Charging and Power
Delivery, over standards such as USB Type-C.
“As a result of our relationship with Qualcomm Technologies, we can
bring customers a complete, end-to-end solution that leads to a quicker
time to market,” said C.H. Chee, senior director of consumer marketing
at Lattice Semiconductor. “This joint solution is optimized for
flexibility in supporting multiple charging profiles, so that one
charger can power today and tomorrow’s mobile devices.”
Lattice’s programmable charging controller is fully compliant with the
USB Power Delivery v2.0 specification and when combined with Qualcomm
Technologies’ Quick Charge technology, it provides a flexible
solution that reduces the time required to recharge batteries in mobile
devices. Today there are Quick Charge 2.0 enabled smartphones, tablets,
and wall adapters available from different manufacturers around the
world. Quick Charge 3.0 is designed to charge devices up to four times
faster than conventional technologies.
