[0032] The embodiment is provided with the plurality of fast charging branches 400, which can support multi-channel fast charging; each fast charging branch 400 includes the voltage reduction control module 410, the channel control module 420 and the fast charging integrated module 430, each fast charging branch 400 can be controlled individually, the microprocessor 300 is connected with the host computer through the first communication interface and connected with the fast charging integrated module 430 through the second communication end, and can communicate with the host computer to realize the on-off control of the host computer on the fast charging branch 400.

[0034] For example, the number of the power input interface 100 is four, the number of the fast charging branch 400 is 24, and each power input interface 100 is connected with six fast charging branches 400. For example, each power input interface 100 and each fast charging branch 400 are sequentially numbered, i.e. the serial number of the power input interface 100 is 1 to 4 (for example, the power input interface 100 is connected with the fast charging branches 400 numbered 1 to 6, the power input interface 100 is connected with the fast charging branches 400 numbered 7 to 12, the power input interface 100 is connected with the fast charging branches 400 numbered 13 to 18, and the power input interface 100 is connected with the fast charging branches 400 numbered 19 to 24.

In response to sudden spikes in current or voltage caused by external interference in the circuit, the surge protection module 500 can conduct and shunt the current in a very short time, thereby preventing damage to the circuit from the surge current. In some application examples, the surge protection module 500 includes a TVS diode (such as...). Figure 2 As shown in the diagram (D2), the first terminal of the TVS diode is connected to the power input interface 100, and the second terminal is connected to the reference voltage terminal (such as ground). A TVS diode, also known as a transient voltage suppressor, can change its high impedance to low impedance at picosecond speeds when subjected to a reverse transient high-energy surge, absorbing surge power up to several kilowatts and maintaining the voltage level between its terminals at a predetermined value. This effectively protects electronic components in the circuit from damage caused by surge pulses. In some other applications, the surge protection module 500 can be an integrated chip.

The fast charging integrated module 430 can control the first and second MOSFETs respectively, thereby controlling the output current. Here, the high-voltage terminal of a MOSFET refers to the terminal connected to a high potential, such as the drain of an N-type MOSFET or the source of a P-type MOSFET; the low-voltage terminal of a MOSFET refers to the terminal connected to a low potential, such as the source of an N-type MOSFET or the drain of a P-type MOSFET; and the control terminal of a MOSFET refers to the gate of the MOSFET.

Figure 4 The fast charging integrated module 430 controls the third MOS tube through the fourth MOS tube, thereby controlling the on-off of the fast charging branch 400. Figure 4 The fast charging integrated module 430 adopts an integrated circuit module with a model number of SW3538. The integrated circuit module SW3538 is a high-integration multi-fast charging protocol charging chip, integrates a 7A high-efficiency synchronous step-down converter, supports PPS / PD / QC / AFC / FCP / SCP / PE / SFCP / TFCP / VOOC and other mainstream fast charging protocols on the market, supports a maximum output power of 140W, and integrates CC (constant current) / CV (constant voltage) modes.
