I don’t. I work in software but have EE interest and some non-professional experience. I did however use TI function to search for “240W USB-C” and found a comment by TI two months ago saying “We are planning to release a part BQ25758 in the next 10-12 days”.

I checked Mouser and 3000 of them are arriving within the next 2 weeks:

Basically the standard procedure for “What chip can I use to do <X>?”

Ha! Me as well, more or less. I’m quite interested in doing some things on the power side, more complicated than just a few LEDs/running some traces/etc on a PCB to solder things together with.

It would be cool if someone here actually engineered a 240W charger. I remember a company on Kickstarter that did it. But when I checked it; its just 140W + 100W.

There are 240w chargers. One is from delta, second one is from ugreen. The last one was release by framework recently https://frame.work/pl/en/products/power-adapter-240w

Just want to share that 240W third party chargers are kind of unstable, but I expect it’s a Framework issue and not with the chargers. Relevant link here.
