Xiaomi reportedly plans to mass produce the 300W super-fast charging technology that can completely charge a smartphone in just five minutes, according to the popular tipster Digital Chat Station. Recently, the company debuted a modified version of the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ that accomplished this feat, and it appears that the technology will soon be applied to mass-produced models.
Redmi 300W rapid-charging technology
Using 300W super-fast charging technology, the modified Redmi Note 12 Pro+ charges its 4100mAh battery to nearly 50% in just two minutes and entirely in five minutes. The technology obtains a maximum power output of 290W, which is close to the 300W threshold.
From the charger to the phone’s charging architecture to the battery, the Redmi 300W super-fast charging technology is a result of innovative design and novel materials. The charger employs a fourth-generation integrated GaN (gallium nitride) solution, which maintains the same size as Xiaomi’s previous 210W charger while increasing the power by 43% and attaining a power density of 2.31W/cm3.
The charging architecture consists of a 6:2 charge pump chip with a maximal conversion efficiency of 98%. This eliminates the issue of significant current heating in the charging input path and reduces the source’s charging temperature rise. Multiple charge pumps are arranged in a decentralized configuration to effectively avoid the generation of concentrated heat, allowing peak power to be maintained for more than 2 minutes.
The Redmi 300W super-fast charging technology is a technological breakthrough that could revolutionize the way we use smartphones. With the ability to completely charge a smartphone in less than five minutes, users will no longer be concerned about running out of battery while on the go. This technology may have implications for additional devices, including laptops and electric vehicles.
With the effective demonstration of this technology on a modified Redmi Note 12 Pro+, it is only a matter of time before this technology is implemented in mass-market smartphones.
