The growing demand for high-efficiency USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) adapters requires solutions that address not only peak performance but also light-load efficiency. At light-load operation, the PD controller’s current consumption becomes a dominant source of loss. This presentation explores how firmware-based optimizations can significantly reduce input power consumption under light-load conditions by reducing the PD controller current consumption.
Attendees will gain insights into low-power firmware strategies to optimize system operation in both normal and standby modes. Optimized firmware controls can complement hardware design and provides higher efficiency USB-PD adapter solutions.
