vivo/iQOO Flashcharge, Super Flashcharge (VFCP)
FlashCharge is the fast charging technology developed and used by vivo, which is currently mainly used in vivo and IQOO smartphones. Like other fast charging technologies. Due to the exclusive protocol used on the chip side, it can't be used in other smartphone brands.
In 2020 vivo registered a new trademark for their charging technology called Super FlashCharge which is capable of delivering 120W to smartphones. It uses a dual battery cell design and dual-charge pump IC to charge batteries simultaneously. Charging pumps reduce input voltage and charge each battery cell to 5V12A.
Super FlashCharge is capable of charging using older FlashCharge protocols as well.
vivo and iQOO have close ties, and their products use the same Flash Charge and SuperFlashCharge charging protocols.
The technology requires to use of proprietary cables and chargers.
