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.

Freemarket and Axiym launch LIQUI-DT™ – real-time business access to primary-market USD₮ from Tether29.9.2026 08:00:00 CEST | Press release
Freemarket and Axiym today launched a world-first service that gives businesses 24/7 real-time access to freshly minted, primary-market USD₮ issued by Tether. LIQUI-DTTM gives businesses compliant access to primary market stablecoins inside a fully regulated payment ecosystem via Freemarket’s global payment network. In audited trials, clients have minted or burned more than $300 million to date. Institutional users and high-volume traders will benefit from superior price certainty and direct liquidity giving them budgetary control. As the USD₮ is minted directly in the primary market, treasury and compliance teams have clear provenance for internal reporting 1. The LIQUI-DT service works because while no single party owns the whole stack, it is integrated into the Freemarket network. The combination of Freemarket’s compliant fiat rails and payment network, Axiym’s liquidity engine and on-chain settlement layer and Tether’s primary market issuance creates a regulated payments network wi
