Introduction

MIIIW has released a 140W GaN Charger. It features three USB-C and one USB-A. It supports both 140W PD 3.1 fast charging and Xiaomi’s 120W Surge fast-charge protocol. The charger is equipped with a borderless TFT display capable of showing detailed information such as per-port output power, total power, temperature, and other real-time metrics. Next, let’s take a closer look at its internal components and design.

Product Appearance

The front of the packaging box displays the MIIIW branding, the product image, key selling points, and the product name.

The back of the packaging features product usage scenarios along with specifications.

Teardown

Next, let’s take it apart to see its internal components and structure.

Open the bottom case. The plug prongs are connected to the PCBA module via wires. The prongs are covered with a Mylar sheet for insulation.

After removing the screen and the output panel, the PCBA module can be taken out.

Copper foil is attached inside the groove corresponding to the screen.

The screen is secured with foam adhesive and connected to the PCBA module via a flexible flat cable.

The output panel is also secured using foam adhesive.

The length of the PCBA module is about 59.15 mm (2.33 inches).

The width is about 57.33 mm (2.26 inches).

The thickness is about 29.48 mm (1.16 inches).

The top of the PCBA module is covered with a heatsink and wrapped with adhesive tape.

The bottom is also covered with a heatsink.

Remove the heatsinks. The module is reinforced with potting compound, which also aids in heat dissipation.

The bottom is additionally covered with a plastic plate and a thermal pad.

After cleaning the module, it is revealed that the PCBA module features a stacked design with six small PCBs. The component layout on the front side is compact.

The back side features components such as bridge rectifiers, the master control chip, a primary MOSFET, a synchronous rectifier controller, synchronous rectifiers, and an MCU.

A view of the input side shows that the electrolytic capacitor at the center is covered with a yellow insulating sleeve.

Remove the input PCB. The front side reveals a time-delay fuse, common mode chokes, and a safety X2 capacitor.

The back side features a safety X2 capacitor.

The time-delay fuse is from Lanbao, rated at 5A 250V.

The high-voltage electrolytic capacitor is from JK, rated at 400 V, 10 μF.

The master control chip is from Kiwi Instruments, model KP2815. It is a primary-side feedback high-PF flyback constant-voltage controller. The chip operates in quasi-resonant valley-turn-on mode, offering high efficiency and excellent EMC performance. It integrates a high power factor algorithm and THD compensation, achieving PF > 0.95 and THD < 10% across the full voltage range, while also meeting low-load harmonic requirements.

The KP2815 employs primary-side feedback for constant-voltage (CV) and constant-current (CC) control. Under normal load conditions, it operates in CV mode: the chip samples the output voltage via the auxiliary winding in real time, regulating the output to match the reference voltage with ±3% accuracy. Under overload conditions, it switches to CC mode: by sampling the voltage across the primary-side sense resistor, the built-in high-precision CC control algorithm maintains a constant output current with ±7% accuracy.

The KP2815 integrates an adaptive, high-sensitivity, fast dynamic response mechanism, keeping output voltage overshoot and drop within a minimal range during load transients. It also features adaptive input voltage detection and a frequency-sweeping function under DC input, which lowers switching-frequency noise and allows for smaller input filter components.

The KP2815 includes comprehensive protection features to ensure safe and reliable operation, such as input overvoltage/undervoltage protection, cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection, over-temperature protection, AOCP protection during startup and short-circuit conditions, output overvoltage protection, and output short-circuit protection.

The primary MOSFET is from Innoscience, model INN700D105C. It is a 700 V enhancement-mode GaN transistor with an on-resistance of 105 mΩ. The device supports ultra-high switching frequencies, has zero reverse-recovery charge, and features very low gate and output capacitances.
