Xiaomi HyperCharge, Surge Charge, MiPPS, Mi Fast charge, SuperCharge Turbo

As a competitor of Oppo, Xiaomi launched its own fast charging protocol. The first iteration was called the Mi Fast Charge and SuperCharge Turbo. These technologies are modifications of Qualcomm’s QC.

​

Later, Xiaomi developed a new proprietary charging protocol, the HyperCharge, which has a top charging speed of 120W based on the modified PD PPS protocol.  

This high-power charging requires the use of an improved electrolyte formula and battery materials such as graphene for greater conductivity than traditional lithium-ion batteries. A Xiaomi/Redmi smartphone designed to have a dual-cell battery design.

 

In February 2023, Xiaomi presented the 300W and 210W HyperCharge charging technology. Each compatible smartphone has dual battery 15C cells, which are capable of handling 30A of charging current.

The Hypercharge protocol is used in Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO smartphones.

Xiaomi Hypercharge protocol can be implemented over UsbA as UsbC.

​

Xiaomi also developed Surge Charge technology based on PPS (also known as MiPPS) and waived all licensing fees, making it available for third-party manufacturers to implement in their chargers and cables (for example, CUKTECH и Candysign use it in their charging adapters and cables). This technology allows charging at up to 120W using a compatible 6A USB-C to USB-C cable. If a standard 5A cable (100W or 240W) is used, the charging power will be limited to 100W.

​

Xiaomi charging protocols:

• Fast charge: 10W, 15W, 18W (UsbA-UsbC)

• SuperCharge Turbo: 33W, 50W, 67W (UsbA-UsbC)

• HyperCharge 90W(UsbA): 3.6-11V/6.1A, 3.6-20V/4A, 3.6-20V/4.5A (5A UsbA-UsbC proprietary cable required)

• HyperCharge 100W(UsbA): 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/3A, 15V3A, 20V/5A, 3.6-20V/5A (UsbA-UsbC 5A proprietary cable required)

• HyperCharge 120W(UsbA): 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 11V/6A, 20V6A, 5-20V/3-6A (UsbA-UsbC 6A proprietary cable required)

• HyperCharge 120W(UsbC): 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 11V/6.1A, 20V6A (20V3.25A for 110VAC) (UsbC-UsbC proprietary 6A rated cable required)

• HyperCharge 210W: 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 11V/6A Max, 17W/10.5A Max, 20V/10.5A Max (UsbC-UsbC proprietary cable required)

• HyperCharge 300W: (UsbC-UsbC proprietary cable required)​​​

​

Notes:

• Xiaomi phones with Qualcomm Snapdragon processors support the Qualcomm QC fast charging protocol

• Xiaomi smartphones that support Xiaomi HyperCharge also trigger nearly 50W of fast charging power when using third-party USB PD and PD PPS chargers, also capable of using QC charging protocol.

• ​CUKTECH 2in1 cable - Can receive power from PD charging and charge connected devices, including via the Xiaomi Surge charge protocol

• MIIIW CB510 Pro 100W Two-in-One Supercharging Cable (model iCB1013Y) also supports the Xiaomi Surge charge protocol with a power output of up to 90W (4.5-20V4.5A), converting the energy received from standard PD charging.
