Navitas Semiconductor has announced its next-gen GaNFast power ICs have been selected for the ‘in-box’ 125W charger of Motorola’s latest smartphone, the X30 Pro.

A charge from 1% - 50% in just 7 minutes brings an ultra-fast charging experience to Motorola users.

The Motorola X30 Pro features a 200MP main camera, and sports a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, plus a 6.7" OLED display with 144Hz refresh rate. To support this powerful performance, the X30 Pro features a 4,610 mAhr battery, the 125W ultra-fast wired charging, and per Android Authority, the X30 Pro “could easily be the most powerful flagship phone of this year.”

High-speed GaNFast power ICs enable the 138g charger to measure only 55.6 x 55.7 x 28.4mm (88cc) and achieve 1.42W/cc power density for ultimate portability. GaNFast ICs integrate GaN power and drive, plus control, protection and sensing to enable up to 3x faster charging with up to 40% energy saving in only half size and weight, compared with legacy silicon solutions. In this charger, two NV6134A GaN ICs are used in CrCM boost PFC and HFQR DC-DC topologies.

Jin CHEN, General Manager of Smartphone BU, Lenovo China commented on the launch of X30 Pro: “We hope to deliver a more comprehensive user experience in the flagship X30 Pro. By working hand-in-hand with Navitas and Aohai Technology, we are able to utilise GaN and speed up the charging capability of Motorola’s smartphones to a new level. We look forward to collaborating further with Navitas and Aohai Technology, to break more records in charging speed, and offer a convenient and ultra-fast charging experience to our users."

“We are excited that GaNFast technology empowers Motorola to achieve a more powerful charger. This time, Motorola, Navitas and Aohai Technology’s new collaboration reached a new, benchmark 125W fast-charging solution on the new X30 Pro,” said Charles (Yingjie) ZHA, VP and GM of Navitas China. “We are dedicated to offer an eco-friendly and ultra-fast charging experience for consumers. This tiny but powerful 125W GaN charger demonstrates our continued effort to ‘Electrify Our World’. Navitas will continue to push the innovation of GaN technology to empower Motorola’s charging roadmap.”

The 125W GaN charger is designed by Aohai specifically for the Motorola X30 Pro. Cuisi KUANG, Senior Vice President of Haohai said: “Navitas has always been a trust-worthy partner, and we are delighted to work with them to create this amazingly light and powerful design. Navitas’ GaNFast power ICs are fast and reliable, easy-to-use, and we can complete our R&D with a faster speed and higher success rate, so enabling us to design more outstanding power products.”
