A credit card-sized GaN-equipped charger that can charge 3 to 4 devices such as smartphones, laptops, and game consoles at the same time! Sydney-based electronics maker Chargeasap has reached its $ 10,000 target for crowdfunding the Omega GaN Charger, which began on August 11, with a campaign period of 40. As of the day left, it has exceeded 784,000 dollars (about 82 million yen in Japanese yen). The "Omega GaN Charger" is the world's smallest GaN (gallium nitride) -equipped charger that can charge 3 to 4 devices at the same time. The return this time is "Omega 100W" (planned retail price 99 dollars / about 9,900 yen) that can charge 3 units at the same time from $ 45 (about 4,500 yen) and 4 units at the same time from $ 75 (about 7,500 yen) "Omega 200W" (planned retail price of $ 149 / approx. 14,900 yen). Available in BLACK, WHITE, and NAVY & GOLD limited to "Omega 200W". The campaign is until October 10th in Japan time. Campaign Overview Return "Chargeasap" is partnering with Navitas Semiconductor, the world's first GaN power IC manufacturer, founded in 2014 by experienced members. The "Omega GaN Charger" is equipped with Navitas' "GaN Fast NV6127 Power IC" that can make silicon components smaller. GaN replaces the conventional power adapter that relies on silicon as a semiconductor component, and realizes efficient charging that can flow a stronger current with less heat generation. GaN ICs are also known to be more than one-tenth smaller than traditional integrated circuits. The "Omega GaN Charger" was developed as the world's first second-generation GaN charger that solves the problems of the first-generation GaN charger, such as heat generation and imbalance in power distribution. Traditional GaN chargers often have the problem that if you don't control the USB-C port when using the USB-A port, the charger will get confused and you won't be able to charge as fast as you'd expect. "Solves this problem. In addition, the "Omega GaN Charger" has succeeded in making it 66% smaller than the conventional charger, achieving the minimum size of both 200W and 100W. In particular, the "Omega GaN Charger 200W" is the world's first portable charger that can simultaneously charge a total of four devices such as laptops, tablets, smartphones, smart watches and wireless earphones at a total speed of 200W. The number of devices we use all the time, such as smartphones, is still increasing, and there is a demand for smaller devices that are easy to carry around and easy-to-use chargers to keep the devices charged at all times. Is growing. Therefore, the "Omega GaN Charger 200W" uses a foldable plug that can be turned in two directions, which is patented by "Chargeasap". The plug can be turned to a 90 ° or 180 ° angle and can be easily and securely plugged into a power source anywhere, such as on a wall, floor, or cord-buried octopus outlet. It is very easy to handle because it is 88 x 55 x 42mm at 200W and 60 x 55 x 26mm at 100W, which is smaller than a bundle of playing cards. The "Omega GaN Charger 200W" has two 100W output USB-C ports, so he can charge two laptops such as a 16-inch MacBook Pro at high speed at the same time with just one. Boasting the world's first 200W output as a portable charging adapter, this product will lead to further innovation in chargers. In addition, the USB-A port of the "Omega GaN Charger" that outputs up to 22.5W is almost all major high speeds released by SAMSUNG, HUAWEI, OnePlus, etc. such as Quick Charge 3.0, AFC, VOOC, SCP, FCP. It supports charging methods and is compatible with a wide range of devices. By incorporating some of the most cutting-edge elements in the industry, Chargeasap is confident that the Omega GaN Charger will perform outstandingly among pocket-sized chargers. The high-density circuit board is protected by a high-performance heat sink for heat dissipation and a densely stretched graphene ribbon sheet for cooling. In addition, the charger body is covered with a fire-resistant polycarbonate material for added safety. The "Omega GaN Charger" is compatible with voltages from 100 to 240V, and comes with three plug converters (AU / EU / UK compatible), so it can be used in more than 200 countries. increase. Product Details "Omega GaN Charger 100W" "Omega GaN Charger 200W" Chargeasap "Chargeasap" is a Sydney-based startup developing electronic devices for consumers. Our international team members strive to develop innovative products every day, with the belief that users are creators and innovators who bring new product ideas. At the beginning of our founding, we realized that there was. That is, in modern times, smartphones are more of a tool we are involved with than any other tool, perhaps humans. So we wanted to make the way we interact with smartphones easier and more concise. Based on this idea, our mission is to develop innovative smartphone accessories that improve the relationship with smartphones.Campaign overview To details of corporate press release PR TIMES Top
