Introduction

As we all know, Disney is a legendary entertainment powerhouse that has ingrained itself in popular culture, and an expansive empire that extends beyond films to encompass theme parks, merchandise, television networks, and a multitude of unforgettable experiences. And what if i told you that there's a Disney charger out there?

ChargerLAB recently got a Disney 100th Anniversary Edition 30W GaN Charger. This charger adopts a single USB-C design and supports 30W output power, which can meet the charging requirements of iPhones and iPads. Now, let's delve into the teardown of this charger to examine its internal components and structure.

Product Appearance

The packaging box is covered with a black decoration, and the classic Disney logo is printed on it.

The top of the packaging box features a transparent design, allowing consumers to see the actual product.

The specs info is printed on the bottom.

The package contains the charger itself along with a user manual.

The charger follows the popular trend of compact and minimalist design, just like those 20 to 30W mini GaN charger, for example, the famous Anker 522 Nano Charger.

And this is how the white version looks like.

One side of the charger bears the Disney logo and the text "100 YEARS OF WONDER."

Another side showcases the classic Mickey Mouse pattern, representing that beloved cartoon character.

The detailed specs info is printed on the prong side. Model is CHG-WALL-GAN-30W. It can support input of 100-240V~50/60Hz 0.9A, and the maximum output power is 15V2A, which is 30W.

Additionally, the charger is equipped with foldable prongs, making it extremely convenient for travel.

The length of this charger is about 38.1mm (1.5 inches).

The width is about 34.1mm (1.34 inches).

And the height is 34.1mm (1.34 inches).

Compared to the original Apple 30W charger, it has a noticeable size advantage.

Furthermore, when held in hand, the charger feels remarkably compact.

And the weight is approximately 49g (1.73).

The ChargerLAB POWER-Z KM003C shows the USB-C port supports QC3.0/4+, PD3.0, PPS, DCP, and Apple 2.4A protocols.

And it also has four fixed PDOs of 5V3A, 9V3A, 15V2A, and 20V1.5A, and a set of PPS of 3.3-11V3A.

Teardown

Now that we have completed our unboxing and testing of this charger, it's time to take apart the device and examine its internal components and structure.

First, use the spudger to pry along the gap and remove the bottom cover.

Take out the internal PCBA module. It is composed of three small boards, utilizing hollow design to fully utilize space.

The input fuse, bridge rectifier, differential mode choke and GaN IC are on the primary side small board.

The synchronous rectifier chip, protocol chip, and solid capacitor are on the secondary side small board.

And the optocoupler and SMD Y capacitor are located on the vertical small board.

There are high-voltage filter capacitor and output solid capacitor in the middle area of the PCB, and there are no soldering components on the back of the vertical small board.

The transformer and the power supply capacitor of the GaN IC are on the other side.

ChargerLAB found that this 30W GaN charger adopts the Kiwi Instruments KP22062 GaN IC and KP40612 synchronous rectifier chip, forming a wide-range output flyback topology, with the output voltage regulated through optocoupler feedback controlled by the Ismartware SW2301 protocol chip. Let's now explore the information of each component, starting from the input end.

First, let's separate the three small boards.

The input time-delay fuse is from Betterfuse 244 series. 3.15A 250V.

The green NTC thermistor is used to suppress the surge current.

The bridge rectifier is from ZOWIE, model Z4RGP30MPH, which is actually a fast recovery rectifier and adopts SMD package. 1000V 3A

The high-voltage filter capacitor is from Chengx. 18μF 400V.

Another high-voltage filter capacitor is also from Chengx, specification is 27μF 400V, resulting in a total capacitance of 45μF.

The common mode choke is insulated by a heat shrink tubing.

An additional SMD inductor is soldered on the back of the PCB.

The master control chip is from Kiwi Instruments, model KP22062, with an integrated 650V GaN MOSFET having a typical on-resistance of 365mΩ. The chip integrates driving and regulation functions, allowing adjustment of the drive speed during MOSFET conduction. The KP22062 operates at frequencies up to 500kHz and can work in quasi-resonant mode across a wide range.

The chip also supports an ultra-wide VDD supply voltage range of 9V-112V and switch frequencies of 140/300/500kHz. It directly detects the AC input voltage and supports fast startup, X-capacitor discharge, and standby power consumption below 30mW, and integrates comprehensive protection features.

Here is all the information about Kiwi Instruments KP22062.

The filter capacitor that powers the GaN IC is 4.7μF 100V.

And the transformer is insulated with yellow tape.

There are SMD Y capacitor and feedback optocoupler on this small board connecting the two PCBs. The SMD Y capacitor is from TRX, model TMY1102M, which features in small size and light weight, and are very suitable for high-density power supply products such as GaN charger.

TRX focuses on the R&D, production and sales of passive components, with a registered capital of 100 million yuan. It has two types of capacitor brands: SMD TRX and DIP TY capacitors. TRX will devote itself to the research of ceramic materials in order to provide customers with more solutions.

This is the introduction for TRX's products.

ChargerLAB also found that Mcdodo 100W GaN Charger, OPPO 65W Super Flash Charge GaN Charger, Lenovo 90W GaN Fast Charger, Nubia 65W GaN Charger , Baseus 120W GaN + Silicon Carbide PD Fast Charging Charger and other dozens of high-power chargers are using TRX SMD Y capacitor. It can also be used in ARUN, DIVI, Belkin 20W mini fast charger, the performance has been widely recognized by customers.

The CT1019 optocoupler is used to regulate the output voltage.

The synchronous rectifier chip is also from Kiwi Instruments, model KP40612, which integrates a 100V 10mΩ synchronous rectifier MOSFET. It supports flyback, active clamp flyback, and works in DCM, QR, and CCM modes. It supports a switching frequency of 600kHz, can be configured on the high-side or low-side, and has a wide output range. It features intelligent turn-on detection, and comes in an ASOP-6 package for enhanced heat dissipation.

Here is all the information about Kiwi Instruments KP40612.

These two solid capacitors for output filtering are connected in parallel. 330μF 25V

The protocol chip is from Ismartware, model SW2301, which is a highly integrated Type-C port/Type-A port fast charging protocol chip, supporting PD, QC, FCP, SCP, AFC, SFCP and PE and other mainstream fast charging protocol, supports two working modes of optocoupler feedback and FB feedback.

It also integrates CV/CC control loop, Type-C port logic, fast charging protocol controller, and various safety protection functions. Combined with AC/DC or DC/DC and a small number of peripheral components, a complete high-performance Type-C port/Type-A port fast charging solution can be formed.

Here is all the information about Ismartware SW2301.

The VBUS MOSFET and the USB-C socket are located on this side of the small board.

And the VBUS MOSFET is marked with 03N30.

The plastic sheet inside the USB-C socket is black.
