GIGABYTE unveils Charge Technology

GIGABYTE has announced that their On/Off Charge technology now enables fast charging of the new Apple iPad (3rd Generation) devices, as well as previous Apple devices, on a majority of GIGABYTE motherboards, including soon-to-launch GIGABYTE Z77 motherboards.

A derivative of GIGABYTE's 3x USB Power feature, On/Off Charge technology is said to allow iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices to draw more current from GIGABYTE motherboard USB ports than standard USB ports allow, with the added benefit that the PC can be on, in standby mode or even off. Many mobile devices can be charged via a desktop PC's USB ports as long as the system is connected to an active power source, however this is not the case with the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Even when the PC is being used and charging is enabled, these devices usually only draw a mere 0.5A for a trickle charge that can take 3 hours or more to fully charge the device.

GIGABYTE On/Off Charge comes in two flavors: a backwards compatible On/Off Charge driver that can be downloaded from the official GIGABYTE utility web page and an On/Off Charge front panel connector. The On/Off Charge front panel connector features a special controller combined with the On/Off Charge driver that allows the computer to detect the current required by iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch products.
