A simple, cost-efficient means to enable fast and safe charging of USB Type-C portable devices is available from Maxim Integrated. The integrated, 15W MAX14748 USB Type-C charging and charger detection is a single chip solution, believed to be the first of its kind. The charger eliminates the patchwork of ICs previously required to deliver the same capabilities, while enabling designers to take advantage of only those USB Type-C functions required for a particular design, says the company.
