Technical Features and Solutions for Mass Production Challenges

The core of DAC Technology lies in the combination of a voltage clamp circuit that limits the input voltage to 250V or less and a highly efficient active clamp DC-DC converter. This innovative circuit configuration makes it possible to replace the conventionally required large 400V-class electrolytic capacitors with compact components rated at 250V or less.

UNIFIVE addressed the following technical challenges in designing this groundbreaking circuit technology into a mass-producible Products:

  1. Optimization of PCB design for high-speed switching circuits
  2. Comprehensive noise countermeasures to comply with EMI standards (CISPR 32 Class B)
  3. Efficient thermal design within a compact enclosure
  4. Compliance with stringent safety standards (PSE/IEC 62368-1)

As an example of a Products leveraging this technological advantage, a commercial model under the ADAMON brand by E-Power Solutions is also available (ADAMON 65W Gen2 One of the World's Smallest USB-C Charger (Amazon Product Page)).

Innovative Differences Between GaN AC/DC Power Adapters — Desktop & Wall-Mount and DAC Technology

A Different Approach from Conventional GaN Methods

GaN (gallium nitride)-based AC/DC Power Adapters — Desktop & Wall-Mount, which currently dominate the market, achieve miniaturization through the approach of "enhancing high-voltage MOSFET performance using GaN." In contrast, the ADAMON 65W Gen2 achieves equivalent or greater miniaturization through an innovative circuit design that enhances MOSFET performance by lowering voltage resistance, while utilizing existing highly reliable Si devices.
