Introduction

Infineon is the developer of the USB PD3.1 protocol, which can provide fast-charging charger components that meet different powers.

ChargerLAB got an XDPS2201 reference design from Infineon. It does not have large heat sinks and cooling fans, compared with traditional eBike chargers. So, it's suitable for a fully sealed case. Next, let’s take a look at the design of this module and take it apart to see its components.

Product Appearance

Infineon XDPS2201 has a simple design without a PFC circuit. It supports a wide input range of 198-264V~50/60Hz and an efficiency of more than 95% under 230V AC when fully loaded. Due to the high efficiency, there is no need for heat sinks, as long as a certain gap is left to meet the temperature requirements.

The master control chip, optocoupler, and other components are on the back. The circuit design is simple.

The AC input end has marked with the AC input voltage range of 198Vac-264Vac, frequency of 50-60Hz, and DC output of 18Vdc-42Vdc.

The PCB of the auxiliary power supply is soldered on one side of the PCBA module.

The output end of the PCBA has two connectors for easy assembly.

The length is about 155 mm (6.1 inches).

The width is about 55 mm (2.17 inches).

And the thickness is about 29 mm (1.14 inches).

This is the size of the PCBA module in your hand.

The weight is about 160 g (5.64 oz).

Teardown

Summary of ChargerLAB

This XDPS2201 reference design from Infineon can output up to 170W and is suitable for the lithium-ion battery pack of 24V～36V. Due to the hybrid flyback topology, it has a high efficiency.

It consists of main power supply and auxiliary power supply. The main power supply is used to charge the eBike, and the auxiliary power supply is used to power the control circuit and other settings. The master power supply control chip and auxiliary power supply chip are both from Infineon. Except for that, some of its components come from well-known manufacturers such as Onsemi, Rubycon, and TI.
