Pulsiv Limited become the world’s first company to deliver 240W from a single USB-C port. This ground-breaking achievement has been developed by combining a Pulsiv OSMIUM front-end design with an industry standard flyback which passes strict EMC/Line Current requirements and is guaranteed to change the global charging market.

Existing 240W USB-C chargers distribute the power across multiple ports with a maximum of 140W being delivered from a single 1C port. This leaves many higher-power applications such as monitors, gaming laptops, and small domestic appliances unable to benefit from the common USB-C interface and fast-charging protocol. Traditional Boost PFC+LLC-based designs are notoriously noisy, so EMC compliance can be a challenge. They are also expensive and do not respond well to variable output voltages or rapidly changing load requirements. Pulsiv OSMIUM technology enables a flyback topology to be used at higher power levels which solves all of these problems.

The company’s strategy for deploying this exciting technology adds further flexibility for customers. Three options are set to be offered:

Reference Design. A reference design containing a datasheet, schematic, and bill of materials will be published on www.pulsiv.com in the coming weeks. This will enable anyone to start designing and laying out their own 240W USB-C solution and become one of the first in the world to adopt 240W USB-C.

Standard Assembled Module. For those whose resources and time are limited, Pulsiv will offer a standard fully assembled module with 1 x USB-C connector. The specification and design of this standard module has already started and pre-orders for samples can be placed now for delivery in late March 2025, with mass production quantities being delivered from July 2025 onwards. A number of Pulsiv’s distributors, including Digikey, will also stock the standard modules for fast delivery to customers globally.

Custom Assembled Module. For anyone that has more specific requirements, custom assembled modules will also be offered. This enables customers to determine their own specification, which can include the number and location of USB connectors, input voltage range, and any specific mechanical form factor requirements. This flexible option will come with an NRE of just $10,000 and an MOQ of 500pcs providing a very reasonable entry point for everyone.
