Preface
Today, with continuous breakthroughs in charging technology, charging speed and charging power have increased significantly, allowing us to charge our devices faster. However, while the increase in charging speed is an exciting development, we still lack an intuitive way to observe voltage and power changes while charging. This issue creates a sense of opacity that users can't perceive charging speed and performance in real time.
In order to allow users to see the real speed of fast charging in real time, Guangxin Micro has launched a full range of digital display drive solutions on the basis of the previous digital display line, which aims to solve the visualization problem of voltage and power information during charging, and provide users with real-time and visible feedback on the fast charging speed. In this way, users will be able to grasp exactly what their device is in when it is charging and get a higher level of satisfaction in the charging experience.
PD Plus SoC - UM3506
The UM3506 chip integrates a PD3.1 controller and a more open and flexible RISC-V core processor. This series of products can be used to support enhanced PD applications. The chip fully meets the relevant specifications in the USB 3.1 standard set defined by the USB Developers Forum.
At the same time, the UM3506 chip integrates rich system resources, reducing the demand for chip peripheral materials. With its powerful hardware and software platform configuration, designers can make more reasonable and effective use of the resources of the MCU on the chip, simplify the design of differentiated application software, shorten the system development time, and better ensure the real-time and reliability of the system, so as to perfectly realize the application development of PD Plus.
In addition to completing the PD protocol, the UM3506-Based PD Plus's digital display drive solution integrates the corresponding chip advantages and functional features, including high-performance RISC-V core and large-capacity Flash storage, and supports UM3506 SPI/I2C/GPIO communication interface to support various screen drives, and users can customize a variety of UI styles according to their needs. In addition, it also supports brand logo display, which enhances the user's sense of interaction with the device, and can be equipped with optional button function to support multi-UI style switching. These customizable digital display functions can be embedded in the digital display functions of various PD accessories (such as Type-C cables, power banks, chargers, HUBs, etc.), making the PD Plus digital display display solution have a wide range of applicability in various application scenarios, providing real-time charging status monitoring and information display functions, and bringing users a better charging experience.
UM3506-Based PD Plus Digital Display Drive Screen Solution Application
TFT color screen
The PD Plus solution will bring a smarter, more interactive and more attractive charging experience to your small-size TFT color screen (e.g. 0.96, 1.14 inches) devices, ensuring that users can monitor the charging status in real time and enjoy high-quality charging services.
OLED screen
The PD Plus digital display drive solution is not only suitable for TFT color screens, but also performs well in driving OLED screens (0.96, 0.5 inches). It provides a real-time charging status display for the OLED screen, allowing users to easily grasp the charging process and get a more convenient charging experience.
Digital tubes
The PD Plus digital display solution can also support digital tube (5-pin, 7-pin) scanning display, allowing users to monitor charging status in a more intelligent way, providing a higher level of charging experience for devices.
Ambient light display
The PD Plus digital display solution also supports ambient light display, allowing users to display the state of charge in a smarter and cooler way, providing a higher level of charging experience for the device.
