1. Core Electrical Specifications & Interface Definition
#


Dual-Port Fast Charging Architecture:

  • Type-C Port: Supports bidirectional charging and discharging. As an input, it supports rapid recharging at specifications of 5V/3.0A and above; as an output, it supports mainstream fast charging protocols such as PD/QC, with a maximum output current of up to 3.0A.
  • USB-A Port: Supports unidirectional high-current output, compatible with standard 5V/2.4A charging and various proprietary manufacturer protocols, meeting the needs of simultaneous multi-device charging.

Efficient Power Conversion:

  • Synchronous Rectification Technology: The board features a high-power toroidal inductor (as shown in the PCB image) paired with low internal resistance MOSFETs to construct a highly efficient Buck-Boost topology, significantly reducing thermal loss during charge/discharge cycles.
  • Wide Voltage Input: Compatible with single or multi-cell lithium battery packs, supporting a wide range of input voltages.

2. OLED Visual Interaction System
#


This solution abandons traditional LED indicators in favor of a customized segment-code OLED screen, providing rich data feedback:

Interface Information Display:

  • Large Battery Percentage: The left side of the screen displays the current remaining battery percentage in large three-digit numbers, making it intuitive and eye-catching.
  • Input Source Identification: The top section dynamically displays the currently active input channel.
  • Real-Time Power Monitoring: The right area refreshes current voltage and amperage values in real-time, making charging speed visible.
  • Status Icons: Includes percentage symbols and anomaly status indicators.

Intelligent Thermal Control Alarm:

  • Overheat Protection Alert: When the system detects that the internal temperature exceeds the safety threshold, the specific area of the screen immediately displays “OVER HEAT” accompanied by a flashing thermometer icon, while simultaneously forcing a reduction in output power or cutting off output to ensure safety.

3. Hardware Architecture & Safety Design
#


Compact PCB Layout:

  • Power Component Heat Dissipation: Key heat-generating components are logically arranged with reserved space for heat dissipation.
  • Reinforced Interfaces: The Type-C female connector uses a hybrid SMT+DIP package or high-strength SMT packaging, offering strong resistance to plug/unplug wear.

Comprehensive Safety Protection:

  • Over-Temperature Protection (OTP): Built-in NTC thermistor detection points monitor cell and MOSFET temperatures in real-time.
  • Short-Circuit Protection (SCP): Hardware-level short-circuit detection with microsecond-level response time.
  • Over-Current/Over-Voltage Protection: Precisely limits output current and voltage to prevent damage to downstream load devices.
  • Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection: ESD protection devices are designed at data interfaces to prevent chip damage from human body static electricity.

4. Software Logic & User Experience
#


Protocol Handshake Logic:

  • Upon connecting a device, the main control chip automatically identifies the load type, completing the fast charging protocol handshake and negotiation within milliseconds to switch to the optimal output voltage level.

Low-Power Standby:

  • When no load is detected or charging is complete, the system automatically enters a microampere-level sleep mode, turning off the OLED display and power stage output to minimize self-consumption and extend storage time.

UI Dynamic Refresh:

  • Screen data refresh rate is optimized so that current value transitions are smooth and natural without lag, enhancing the premium feel of the product.
