  By Anan Sadh – In today’s time, a wireless charging pad is quite a helpful piece of technology to have. It frees our space from cable clutter & lets us charge our devices by just placing them on it. Whether you keep it directly in front of you at work or on your side table at home, a wireless charger can make charging your electronic gadgets ( those which are Qi-enabled) much easy. It is a simple yet effective charging method that has acquired prominence lately. It works on the principle of Induction charging where the charger utilizes Qi-guaranteed transmitting coils for delivering charge to your smartphone. Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) invented the Qi wireless charging strategy. It is the most widely used wireless charging technique & is what many brands use inside their wireless charging gadgets. The only downside is that it is much slower than conventional cable charging & doesn’t continue to charge your device the moment you lift it off the wireless pad – but many

Understanding Different Charging Protocols

  By Anan Sadh – There are many different types of fast charging protocols such as OPPO’s open VOOC Flash Charge,  OnePlus WARP / Dash , Realme DART charge, Qualcomm’s Quick Charge fast charging & PPS / PD Fast Charging. Some of these are proprietory ( Flash, Dash, Warp, Dart, VooC) & QC,while some are open platforms ( PD & PPS) Nowadays, smart phones have quick charging between 18W to 65W power, with charge times going from 30 minutes to a little more than 60 minutes. Let’s broadly understand the differences. Qualcomm’s Quick Charge QC3.0 / 4.0 Qualcomm’s QC Quick Charge is very familiar today & it is a representative of a high-voltage   fast car charger . It was first launched in 2013 when the highest power was 10W (5V/2A). By QC 3.0, the power increased to 36W, & now it supports 200mV step voltage regulation, which is no longer a fixed set of voltage & current. QC 4 supports step voltage regulation down to 20mV and a current adjustment of 50mA. Moreover, it a
