ENHANCING EFFICIENCY AND REDUCING E-WASTE FOR A GREENER FUTURE
USB Type-C Power Delivery (USB-C PD) is transforming the way devices are powered, establishing
itself as the global standard for efficient energy transfer. No longer confined to conventional
electronics, USB-C PD now extends to high-performance computing, e-mobility, and industrial
automation, enabling universal and intelligent power management.
A key advantage of USB-C is its dual function as both a Source and a Sink, allowing devices to
dynamically supply or receive power, optimising energy distribution while reducing reliance on
proprietary chargers. A laptop can be powered by a monitor, an e-bike can charge via USB-C, and
power tools can seamlessly integrate into a universal ecosystem.
Beyond technology, USB-C PD marks a significant step towards sustainability. Supporting up to
240W, it eliminates countless incompatible chargers, significantly reducing e-waste. This transition
aligns with global regulations such as the EU Common Charger Directive, driving standardisation,
efficiency, and environmental responsibility.
Join us for this webinar, where leading semiconductor manufacturers will share insights into
high-efficiency power conversion, fast-charging technologies, and reference designs that simplify
development. This is a unique opportunity to explore cutting-edge solutions and real-world
applications that enhance efficiency, reduce waste, and improve system flexibility.
