    I like the new more comprehensive presentation format. It may be a little more tedious to watch for those of us familiar with the channel and how to interpret the various metrics, but is far more usefully presented for those stumbling across it via search (which would be more common for specific products vs us subscribers).
    Aside, I'm really surprised that someone hasn't produced a low cost generic digital power supply trigger interface that uses a USBC supply [think a board with a simple display/interface for outputting specific voltage/current to a typical 2.5mm barrel jack or 4mm binding posts]. It would be awesome for us hobbyists. If you stumble across anything of the sort, I'm sure we'd love to see it put through it's paces.

In terms of a hobby tool, you can certainly put something together fairly easily, A PD 20V trigger cable, then a DC-DC converter (buck-boost) with barrel jack in and terminals out. I show it in this video ruclips.net/video/iiUNDbo5zq0/видео.html I know its two pieces but yeah I understand it would be nice to have it all on one board, USB C in, anything out or even two or three outputs.

  • @johnis1996
    @johnis1996 Год назад +2

    In case you don't know, Apple chargers with removable connector, don't have a ground connection, but apple's power extension cable has a ground. The metal pin that holds the connector to place, is also a ground. All MacBooks and iPads have a different sense when connected with a not grounded charger but when using the extension, this sense disappears. So it seems that there is current on the chassis of MacBooks and iPads. Can this grounded or not grounded version affect the charger's performance , and how ? Thanks.

    • @AllThingsOnePlace
      @AllThingsOnePlace  Год назад +5

      Yeah, I totally meant to get into that in the video and completely forgot! This charger goes have a 1,000 ohm resistor between earth and the USB output ground. So, if using the grounded cable you will 'redirect' the AC leakage current through that path as opposed to into the laptop casing. It isn't for fault conditions and the value is small enough to not trip GFCI circuits. It won't change charging characteristics. For metal cased products lacking earth it can make them feel strange since they will be carrying a charge. Power supplies leak a small amount of AC to the DC side (the transformer and a capacitor are responsible for this). The earthing of the output terminal prevents this leakage from making it to the device plugged in. This charge buildup doesn't always happen either but this is a way to prevent it. For an extra $19. This is another test I haven't gotten into with these power adapters yet.

      That's a good question. I started adding output voltage ripple to the measurements more recently. The Belkin Boost Up Charge USB-C PD Wall Charger 20W has very low voltage ripple on the output though. So, not a bad choice for the application. It isn't the most efficient thing out there but at 10 watts it's pretty good.

    • @AllThingsOnePlace
      @AllThingsOnePlace  Год назад +2

      Different things. The PFC is to improve the other stats related to AC power, there is a point this starts to effect the efficiency though. Efficiency, often, is only looked at as the real power in versus out of the device itself. In AC it relies on frequency and phase interactions so has complex components. I plan to make a video on when and why PFC starts to make a difference, also what it is. Lots of videos, ha.

    Hey, great videos. I presumed this would be the best charger but clearly not! I'm after a dual USB C charger for iPhone and Apple watch, so I guess around 40w, but I need UK version. Ugreen have a neat folding one, and I know Anker is a pretty solid brand. But just wondering what brands you feel are safe in this category (as I couldn't see recommendations in the description). Don't want to get something that will burn my house down!

    • @AllThingsOnePlace
      @AllThingsOnePlace  Год назад +1

      So, yeah, one thing Apple does do is pretty intense safety validation. Anker has become pretty solid in this category for power adapters as well. The UGREEN stuff is hit or miss on safety listings so I tend to shy away from them for that. Apple is certainly conservative and I think falls behind in performance because of this. In reality if you aren't using a ton of watts, the slim line apple dual 35 watt adapter is an acceptable option. Although, probably not so slim with the UK plug on the end. I don't know if they even sell that style. The big dual 35W has the removable plug thing so yeah. Multi-plug compatibility.

    Hi, thanks for the content. I have a point: You showed the poor quality of the charger AC side. But an AC/DC converter can have a high THD on the AC port to maintain a better level of ripple on the DC port. For me, it is more important to have a low ripple level than a low THD. It's also better for the equipment. Most electrical networks don't care how bad a 35W load is, it's too small. Do you have any videos measuring the ripple level on an oscilloscope for these chargers? I'm very curious to know.

    • @AllThingsOnePlace
      @AllThingsOnePlace  10 месяцев назад

      Yeah, I have done a little of the DC side quality for videos. For the most part they've tested surprisingly good on the output for peak to peak ripple. I plan to add more of that in future videos. True on the 35W size of things and even much larger. I have a chart of when it starts to cost you money, but yeah, low interest. I've been slowly removing references to the AC metrics, next video I will drop the specifics from the charts and see how it goes. I was thinking ripple (pk-pk mv), dc voltage, efficiency, watts in, percent of load, PQS for all the other metrics, maybe something else? No video is perfect and what I have here is FAR from that for sure. Thanks for the feedback.

    • @AllThingsOnePlace
      @AllThingsOnePlace  8 месяцев назад

      Yeah, I mean the non-flat version of this charger has issues. It is inefficient which means it gets hotter, it isn't made as well as previous apple products that have been torn down, so longevity becomes a concern, it's a cheap as chips power adapter with bad power negotiation and poor efficiency that costs more than twice as much as the competition and is worse than it's own rival power adapter. It should be safe at least.

    It's a shame that Apple only produces one GaN charger, the Apple USB-C 140W GaN. Apple is very conservative in this regard. Other Apple chargers still use the old silicon technology.

    • @AllThingsOnePlace
      @AllThingsOnePlace  Год назад +1

      Silicon technology is still good, out of date yes, but still good, even in that 140W adapter Apple didn't make the best use of the GaN technology. A lot of designers are still hesitant because, technically, wide bandgap semiconductor lack certain avalanche ratings (so under extreme conditions they might break, where as a silicon MOSFET is a little more stable and well characterized). When implemented correctly devices all have current sense, 5 other protection circuits and none operate anywhere near the edge so should never hit a run away condition, also temperature capability is higher with GaN and SiC technologies but on resistance does still rise with temperature so it is possible for bad things to happen but at that point I'd expect the silicon mosfet to go just as quickly. The IGBT still reigns in the motor drive market mostly because of its tolerance of abuse conditions and cost (I^2*R versus V*I also). It all comes down to choices, higher capacitances and certain topologies will need more power to operate but GaN requires much more care and time in design. Apple has done things one way for a long time, why change? I don't have any insight into apples process, but there must be a reason they are choosing to do things the way they do. The use of GaN is common today, opinion, not so much because of the GaN but because of the integration of driver, controls, etc. in one chip. Smaller bill of materials, simpler construction, cheaper. Silicon mostly didn't achieve that level of integration.

      @@AllThingsOnePlace I needed a compact USB-C adapter for charging the iPhone 13 Pro Max and at the same time a powerful USB-C adapter with support for Power Delivery-PD fast charging. Even when I had Xs Max, I bought an Xtorm USB-C 65W GaN adapter, when I upgraded from iPhone Xs Max to 13 Pro Max, this USB-C 65W GaN adapter can still charge iPhone at full speed. Yes, it is true that I also have an Apple USB-C 20W adapter. I mostly use the Xtorm USB-C 65W GaN adapter. This adapter will always be usable, even if I buy, for example, a 15 Pro Max in the future, the iPhone will charge at full speed, because it will have enough power to work. It makes no sense to buy an Apple USB-C 140W GaN charger for charging, as the iPhone is far from being able to use the huge potential of the Apple USB-C 140W GaN adapter. Maybe one day in the future the iPhone will have such fast charging that it will make sense to buy a 140W GaN charger.

      @@boomboombaby9140 Yeah, I use 18 watt charging with an also 5 year old iPhone, still into the 90's percentile battery health, apple regulates charging correctly and does a good job maintaining long battery life. They may not report it accurately though. In reality at 5 years old, your battery is at ~90% and apple is misreporting the health too high, unless you never use the device and all that time is all standby, you charge once a week kind of thing, which at that point why have a phone... Anyway, yeah, batteries degrade, they will not last forever. There is usually a steep decline into not charging once they really start to go bad.
