Infinix, a leading tech brand designed for the young and trendy, has recently announced the launch of its first-ever self-developed power management chip, the Cheetah X1.
This groundbreaking chip will serve as the cornerstone for the new All-Round FastCharge 2.0 technology in the upcoming NOTE 40 Series of smartphones.
The Infinix NOTE range is renowned for its innovative All-Round FastCharge technology, tailored to the needs of modern Gen Z and Millennial users.
This technology addresses concerns about low battery life and power availability in various usage scenarios, including social media consumption, outdoor activities, and extended gaming sessions.
Weiqi Nie, Product Director at Infinix, shared, “At Infinix, customer feedback is at the core of our innovation process. With each new generation of our mobile phones, we strive to incorporate this feedback to deliver the best products to our tech-savvy consumers. That’s why we’ve taken the bold step to develop our own chip, elevating our All-Round FastCharge technology to new heights.”
A Highly Customized and Robust Power Management “Brain”
The Cheetah X1, by integrating three powerful modules into one compact chip, is tailor-made to power the versatile All-Round FastCharge 2.0. The All-round Support Module accommodates eight charging scenarios and consolidates functions by consolidating protocols and adjusting charge.
These scenarios include up to 100W multi-speed wired charging, wireless charging, wired reverse charging, wireless reverse charging, bypass charging, AI charging protection for night charging, extreme-temp tech for -20°C, and multi-protocol charging. This integration ensures consistent performance across demanding use cases.
The High-precision Power Monitor Module detects current and voltage in real-time and adjusts charging volume to ensure a balance between charging efficiency and temperature control, thereby protecting the battery life and maintaining the phone’s health.
The Safety Module integrates 63 protection measures to cover nearly all potential unsafe charging scenarios. These protections are automatically activated through the chip’s monitoring and recognition ability and relay information to other protocols in the phone, which can then be used to alert the user, enhancing user convenience.
A Product Design Where Innovation Meets Dedication
Infinix dedicated two years to researching global consumer insights for the development of the Cheetah X1 chip. They assembled a specialized team to leverage advanced packaging technology and comprehensive functional integration, resulting in a customized power management chip that stands as the most feature-rich in the market.
Adopting wafer-level packaging technology, Infinix significantly reduced the chip size to become one of the smallest devices available. This technology shortens signal transmission paths and minimizes electrical signal delays, enhancing electrical performance, particularly in high-speed data transmission and high-frequency applications.
Consequently, the chip’s processing efficiency per unit has increased by an impressive 204%. This advancement enables charging experiences across a wide range of scenarios, meeting diverse user needs and allows the phone to offload excess weight while remaining powerful, portable and comfortable to carry.
In conclusion, the introduction of the Cheetah X1 chip marks a significant milestone in Infinix’s journey towards providing cutting-edge technology and superior user experiences. With its commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction, Infinix continues to redefine the boundaries of smartphone technology.
