What is GaN charging technology?

GaN stands for Gallium Nitride, a semiconductor which is becoming more commonly used in high-performance power electronics; traditional chargers usually make use of silicon-based switching components, whereas GaN power devices are able to switch electricity more quickly and with smaller switching losses.

The advantage goes beyond just "faster electricity" since, as GaN is able to operate efficiently at higher switching frequencies, charger designers can make use of smaller transformers, inductors and other components; the end result is a smaller charger that provides more power together with efficient thermal management.

Put simply:

To use a silicon charger, more space is usually needed in order to handle the high power and heat.

The charger using gallium nitride can provide comparable or greater charging power since it has a higher power density and as a result allows for a more compact design.

Which is why GaN technology is so useful in modern USB-C fast chargers for smartphones, tablets and laptops.

What's the advantage of using a GaN charger?

It is especially useful to have a GaN charger if you want greater charging capacity without having to carry a bulky power adapter.

• More compact and easier to carry: Since the power density is higher, manufacturers are able to produce chargers that fit more easily into a laptop bag, a backpack, or a travel pouch.

• High-power fast charging is possible thanks to GaN technology, which is especially suitable for modern fast-charging systems such as USB Power Delivery and thus enables compatible chargers to provide the power needed by all sorts of devices, from phones to laptops.

• Higher thermal efficiency: Since switching losses are lower, less unnecessary heat is produced than would be the case with less efficient conventional designs. It is normal for a powerful charger to get warm while it is operating.

• A single charger can be used with a number of devices: multi-port, high-wattage GaN chargers are capable of replacing the individual adapters you currently have for your phone, tablet, laptop, earbuds and other USB-powered devices.

• Good to take on trips: Rather than have to carry around a number of heavy charging bricks, you can use a single compact charging station that is based on GaN technology to charge a number of devices.

• The device has wide compatibility: chargers that support standards such as USB PD, PPS and other compatible fast-charging protocols are able to communicate with connected devices and supply the appropriate power level that they support.

• Lower-power devices can charge safely: when a 65W or 100W USB PD charger is connected to a phone, the charger does not continuously supply it with 65W or 100W. Instead, under the USB Power Delivery system, the device and the charger agree on the suitable power level that is supported.

Important: The GaN technology by itself does not directly result in a longer smartphone battery life; it is the charger's power-management system, the supported charging protocol and the device's own battery-management electronics that determine battery protection.

Quick Device-to-Wattage Guide

One Charger Can Work Across Multiple Devices

You do not necessarily need a separate charger for every device you own.

For example, a 65W USB-C GaN charger can be used with a compatible laptop, tablet and smartphone, because each device requests the amount of power it supports. Likewise, a 100W charger does not automatically push 100W into a smartphone.

This makes higher-wattage GaN chargers particularly useful for people who want to carry one charger instead of separate phone, tablet and laptop adapters.

Simple rule: Choose enough wattage for the most power-hungry device you own, then choose additional wattage and ports if you plan to charge multiple devices at the same time.

GaN Charger vs Traditional Silicon Charger

Just because a charger is based on GaN doesn't mean that it will charge any device faster than a silicon charger; the speed at which it charges will still depend on the charger's rated output, the charging protocol, the cable and the device that is being charged.

The main benefit is that high power can be packed very efficiently into a smaller charging adapter.

Key Features & Safety to Look For in a GaN Charger

You should select a good charger by considering more factors than just its wattage.

USB Power Delivery

USB Power Delivery, or USB PD, enables compatible USB-C devices and chargers to agree upon the amount of power needed according to the requirements of the device that is connected. The current USB PD specifications support power levels that go well beyond those needed by ordinary smartphones and standard laptops.

PPS — Programmable Power Supply

PPS enables compatible devices and chargers to dynamically adjust the charging voltage and current within the ranges that are supported, a feature which is especially relevant to a number of modern Android fast-charging implementations.

Multi-Protocol Support

Depending on the model, UltraProlink chargers may support combinations of:

USB PD | PPS | QC | Samsung SFC | AFC | FCP | SCP | SuperVOOC | DASH | WARP | AVS

The availability of different protocols varies from model to model, so it's necessary to check the specifications of the individual product before you buy it.

Multi-Layer Protection

Look for charging protection against conditions including:

• Over-voltage

• Over-current

• Excessive temperature

• Short circuits

The four-layer protection advertised by the selected UltraProlink GaN models applies to these conditions.

BIS Certification

When it comes to chargers sold in India, you should check the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) certification details for that particular product.

BIS certification is stated on the product pages of the selected UltraProlink GaN models, such as the 45W and 105W ones.

How to Choose the Right GaN Charger

Begin with the device that has the greatest appetite for power and then decide if you need to charge any other devices at the same time.

Single Port or Multi-Port?

If you mostly charge one smartphone or tablet, then select a single-port charger.

If you regularly carry a laptop, a phone, a tablet and some accessories, then select a multi-port GaN charger.

It's important to note that a charger's stated wattage usually refers to its maximum total or maximum specified output under certain port setups. If you use multiple ports at the same time, the power will be split among them.

Don’t Forget the Charging Cable

A high-wattage charger will not be able to deliver the full amount of power it can through a cable that is not suitable.

If you are using the cable for high-power USB-C charging, make sure that it is one which is rated for the amount of power you plan to use. In some cases, high-power USB-C applications call for an electronically marked or E-Marked cable so that the charging system will be able to safely detect the current and power capacity of the cable.

The complete system determines your actual charging speed:

Device + Charger + Protocol + Cable

The lowest capability that is supported by these may end up being the one that limits things.

What price will you find for a GaN charger in India?

The wattage is not the only factor that determines the price of a GaN charger in India.

Although both a compact single-port 25W charger and a six-port 105W desktop charging station make use of GaN technology, they are meeting entirely different requirements.

The biggest factors affecting GaN charger price include:

• Maximum wattage

• Number of USB-C and USB-A ports

• GaN chipset generation

• PD/PPS and other fast-charging protocol support

• Smart power distribution

• Safety circuitry

• BIS certification

• Included high-power charging cable

• Desktop vs travel form factor

Since online prices and promotional deals vary, you should check the current India prices for the UltraProlink GaN Chargers on the live collection page and on the individual product pages rather than depending on an out-of-date static price list.

What's the advantage of purchasing UltraProlink GaN chargers?

It's not merely a matter of selecting the charger with the highest wattage since the electronic devices plugged into it could include a high-end smartphone, a laptop or a tablet, in which case good power-management performance and reliable after-sales support become important factors.
