today announced its new USB sleep-and-charge solution for notebooks and
third party dedicated chargers for mobile devices.
New PowerNap™ technology allows the user to quickly connect and

and is also known as “sleep-and-charge” functionality. Pericom’s
PI5USB56 all-in-one USB PowerNap™ controller is the first of the
PI5USB5X series with auto-detection and auto-switching support for mobile
device charging, based on Pericom’s new patent-pending PowerNap™ technology.
Additionally, with the PI5USB56 IC, system designers do not need to

automatic detection and switching. “Major OEMs are already implementing
PowerNap™ solutions to support the sleep-and-charge features in
their products” said Abdullah Raouf, Product Manager of USB Switch

device charging capability when USB enumeration is not available”,
said Raouf. "Our unique new charger IC can address
most of these sockets and also offer the designer much value add
