15.11.2022 07:01:41 CET | Business Wire | Press release
Power management and video/audio interface IC leader Kinetic Technologies announced two new milestone products that can increase the Power Delivery capability of USB Type-C ports to 140W, removing the barrier to expanding the range of electronic products charged via USB. The KTS1898 is dedicated to switching and protecting VBUS power, while the KTU1128 is dedicated to switching and protecting the CC1/2 and SBU1/2 lines.
The KTS1898 is a low-resistance, 5A load switch with soft-start, overvoltage, “ideal diode” reverse-current, short-circuit, over-current, over-temperature and ESD protection plus integrated surge protection of ±100V, designed to isolate and protect downstream components from abnormal VBUS voltage and current conditions. The fast reverse current protection (ideal diode) allows multiple power paths to be connected to VBUS OUT without interference.
The KTU1128 companion IC is a Thunderbolt compatible, Type-C USB data line protection and switch IC, providing low-resistance, ultra-fast OVP, and surge protection for the CC and SBU lines. Maintaining pin-to-pin compatibility with existing products, the KTU1128 increases the operating tolerance on CC and SBU lines to 32V for short-to-VBUS protection and reduces the quiescent current.
“The KTS1898 and KTU1128 are industry leading devices that allow designers to implement USB Type-C PD3.1 Extended Power Range (EPR) up to 140W and effectively address safety at the same time,” says Erik Ogren, Kinetic Technologies Senior Director of Marketing. “With the ability to withstand up to +35V on VBUS, the KTS1898 delivers the margin our customers require to build 28V systems that are designed to be safe and reliable, while the super low-resistance 25mΩ MOSFET keeps heat to a minimum, which is essential when operating at such high-power levels. The KTU1128 features the same built-in robust protection and together extends Kinetic’s lead in this application.”
KTS1898 and KTU1128 samples are available now with production starting in first quarter 2023. Visit Kinetic Technologies for further information.

Access Advance Announces New Effective Discount Rates for Its Multi-Codec Bridging Agreement, Starting on January 1, 202711.11.2026 20:18:00 CET | Press release
Access Advance LLC today announced that the Licensors of the HEVC Advance and VVC Advance Patent Pools have independently approved a two-step, phased reduction in the effective royalty discount available under the Multi-Codec Bridging Agreement (MCBA) for Licensees of both pools who sign the MCBA on or after January 1, 2027. Licensees that join both the HEVC Advance and VVC Advance Patent Pools and execute the MCBA on or before December 31, 2026, will secure the current MCBA rates, resulting in an effective discount of up to 50%. Licensees that sign on or after January 1, 2027 will receive a reduced discount as further described below. The MCBA is an administrative agreement, not a separate license, that lets Licensees of both HEVC Advance and VVC Advance Patent Pools pay a single, reduced royalty rate for products that include both HEVC and VVC codecs. Today the MCBA rate for a dual-codec product is the same as the VVC Advance single codec product rate; up to 50% of what a Licensee wo
