  Nowadays, the Type-C connector is not only the charging interface for many cell phones, but the Type-C connector is also widely used in computers and flash drives. Why do people like Type-C connectors so much?

   

  People's shared understanding of Type-C connectors is no need to distinguish between positive and negative and faster-charging speed.

   

  This article will analyze in detail TYPE-C connector is not fast charging. Let's take a look at it below.

   

  

   

  TYPE-C connector, also known as USB-C, is the interface standard for electronic devices. Today, the Type-C connector standard is integral to fast charging technology.

   

  With the development of network technology, cell phones are increasingly dependent on the network Type-C connector standard. When the network speed is faster, the more problems the phone has to deal with at the same time, the more power consumption.

   

  To reduce the power consumption of cell phones, we can start from two aspects: cell phone battery update and charging technology.

   

  However, there is no breakthrough in cell phone battery technology.  To change the immediate power consumption of cell phones, the development of fast charging technology is significant.

   

  Currently, two kinds of fast charging technologies are commonly used: boosting the power adapter's output voltage (appliance-powered power conversion device, usually called the charger head) by outputting a high current to increase the charging power.

   

  By comparison, it is found that higher efficiency can be obtained when charging at low voltage and high current under the same power conditions.

   

  The fast charging head needs to convert the AC power in daily life to the specified voltage and current to ensure charging safety. Also, it must use memorable fast charging lines and interfaces for voltage current transfer.

   

  The Type-C connector has several times more contact points than a traditional interface, making it more current and better suited for fast charging technology.

   

  Current USB power transfer protocols are not uniform and can be compatible with charging voltages of 5 V/12 V/20 V and charging currents of 1.5 A/2 A/3 A/5 A/5 A.

   

  The increase in charging volume requires correspondingly higher security of the interface chip. The Type-C connector and USBPD can achieve 100 W of charging power at high voltage and high current output.

   

  Therefore, the cell phone charging fast can meet the Type-C connector standard and is an integral part of the fast charging technology.
