Fast charging

Go to solution Solved by Huntsman,

Don't think there is (legally) any chips that handles the communication on the receiver side on sale. This is all Qualcomm's proprietary tech supported on the chipsets itself. Think you would have to reverse engineer and emulate the communication on a microcontroller to get it.

 

Looking at this article. Seems like Quick Charge 2.0 only supports 5v, 9v and 12v, whereas 3.0 supports 3.2v up to 20v but not sure about the increment resolution. But alas, total power output is 18W.

 

Btw, why a phone charger? Would be so much easier with a cheap chinese variable voltage adapter.

I know it's quite weird doubt ; how to activate fast charge state in adapter without phone as I saw adapter switches to 12v when charged with a compatible phone. I want to do it myself to see if I can vary the speed of cooling fan with this. 

 

Adapter is Moto G4+ 32gb compatible one

There's 2 types of fast charging: simple high current draw by the device or charger provides higher voltage.

 

If it's the first one, it's up to the device to decide how much current to draw, the charger merely provides information about how much power it could provide.

 

The later requires complicated communication between the device and the charger to negotiate/verify that both parties are capable of that high voltage.

The Internet is invented by cats. Why? Why else would it have so much cat videos?

It's not too complicated, mearly different voltages on the data lines.

link To PDF  for a charger IC  shows the voltages you need for the different output voltages.  page 9 I think

Yeah I understand but is there any way to communicate with the charger by some DIY stuffs like with an IC if yes I need an IC number. Thanks really appreciated.
