The manufacturers are developing charges that could charge the device in a very shorter duration due to which the current rating for these has gone from .5 milliamp to 5 milliamp.
• The trend has been the same for the PC and wearable devices. The manufacturers want their customers to spend less time plugged in. The manufacturers, like OPPO, one plus, Motorola, Samsung, and Apple, provide these fast charge adapters out of the box, and fast charging is the key to their marketing strategy. The more heavy-duty power adapters are used for Laptop and Tv segments. The power adapters operate at a much higher voltage and current for these devices. Recently, U-blox, a provider of positioning and wireless communication technologies, has partnered with TransSiP and Matrix Industries to create PowerWatch 2, a GPS smartwatch that is equipped with energy harvesting technology.
• The continuous miniaturization of microchips, along with the requirement for a more significant degree of functionalities, points to the importance of a 3D-based design framework across the semiconductor industry. ​The devices with upgraded features and increased performance are entering the market at regular intervals. The requirement for such enhanced functionalities has led to the inclusion of thousands of electronic components on a limited amount of space inside these devices. So, there is an increased demand for semiconductor device manufacturing. ​In June 2020, TSMC has announced the development of the 4nm node, and upgradation of the current 5nm process. The miniaturization technology will improve the performance and efficiency of the chips.
