In the past few years, battery charging IC technology has undergone a huge transformation, offering new applications across diverse industries. Continuous advancements in this field focus on enhancing the efficiency, flexibility, and thermal management of batteries. Soft switching has evolved as a new technique in the domain that offers greater efficiency and enables lower heat generation. By minimizing energy losses and electromagnetic interference, these switching models boost the performance of battery chargers.

Moreover, in traditional battery charging ICs, diodes are used to provide fixed forward voltage losses which act as essential components in charging designs. However, in today’s ICs, diodes are replaced with active semiconductor switches, offering a bridgeless converter topology. On the other hand, the rapid integration of Gallium Nitride and Silicon Carbide enables faster switching and reduces energy losses. This development reduces the use of passive magnetic components and minimizes heatsinks, rendering a more compact charging system.

Many leading manufacturers have started integrating DC-DC converters in these devices to decrease system cost and complexity by eliminating additional components, interconnections, and assembly steps. The configuration of offboard DC fast charging stations simplifies the overall charging process and supports the functionalities of onboard chargers with a hybrid of AC and DC charging.
