This is the other side of the PCB board, which is simpler. We can find multiple MOS tubes.

After observing and analyzing the circuit on the front and back of the PCB board, it is found that this power bank uses a main control chip for boost and buck to achieve input/output of three ports. Let’s take a look at the information for each component.

The main control chip of the power bank adopts ismartware SW6106, which use to buck and boost to realize battery charging and discharging. It also controls LED light and temperature control. SW6106 integrates multiple protocols, likePD/QC/FCP/PE/SFCP and other fast charging protocols. It also integrates buck-boost switch tubes and 18W high-efficiency boost output. All of those make it become a highly integrated all-in-one chip.

In addition, SW6106 also supports charging and discharging at the same time. It supports fast charging input and output when single port is working, and 5V input and output when multiple ports are working. 

ChargerLAB found that there are some other product use this chip as well, like Nanfu wireless fast charging power bank, Baseus USB PD wireless charging power bank, Lenovo 18W USB PD power bank PB-001-LS, RAVPower 20000mAh USB PD power bank, etc.

Let’s take a “family portrait” after the teardown.

Summary of ChargerLAB’s Teardown

RAVPower 10000mAh power bank has a flat body and a matte surface. It has three types of interfaces, comes with a Micro USB cable and a Type-C converter, which is convenient for consumers. The 1A1C ports support QC, AFC, FCP, PD3.0 fast charging protocols, and have three voltage gears of 5V3A, 9V2A, and 12V1.5A. 18W fast charging can satisfythe daily fast charging needs for various mobile phones.

The ChargerLAB found that the internal battery is fixed and insulated very well on board. It is equipped with a thermistor for temperature monitoring. The PCB board is fixed by inductance, and it is equipped with a XySemi XB8886A lithium battery protection chip. In addition, the main control chip adopts the ismartware SW6106, which requires only a small number of components and effectively simplifies the circuit and reduces the cost.
