The OPPO VOOC (Voltage Open Loop


Multi-step Constant-Current Charging)
Flash Charging system is a proprietary
rapid-charge technology created by OPPO
Electronics, which, at present, is able to
charge certain OPPO devices from 0 to
75% in just 30 minutes.[1] In contrast to
USB-IF's USB Power Delivery technology
which increases the voltage during fast
charging, VOOC uses a higher current than
normal USB 2.0 charging.[2] Thus, VOOC
operates at 5 V and 4 A. The VOOC Flash
Charge circuit technology reportedly
lowers the temperature of the charging
adapter, and creates an interface from the
adapter to the phone, which improves the
speed and safety of the charge.[3]

OPPO also licenses its technology to


OnePlus and Vivo through another brand
of its holding company BBK Electronics.
VOOC 2.0 has been licensed to OnePlus as
the Dash Charge technology.[4] A single-
cell, 30-watt (5V/6A) version of
SuperVOOC has also been licensed to
OnePlus as Warp Charge.[5] OnePlus does
not market its phones as VOOC-
compatible despite the fact that VOOC 2.0
and Dash are compatible.[4] Vivo teased
Super FlashCharge technology capable of
up to 120W.[6]

As of July 2019, VOOC has been licensed


to 14 other corporations, most of which
are in the phone charger and power strip
businesses. OPPO claims that more than
1000 patents around VOOC has been filed
worldwide.[7]

Versions
As of 2019, VOOC comes in three
variations:

VOOC 2.0, which operates at 5 V and


4 A.
VOOC 3.0 (2019), a technology that
claims to be 23.8% faster than VOOC
and "based on a new technology". It
appears to be a 5 V / 5 A version of
VOOC>[8]
SuperVOOC (2018), a different
successor of VOOC 2.0 that churns out
10 V and 5 A. It charges a two-cell
battery in parallel.[9]

Devices

Dash Charge for OnePlus 5

VOOC 3.0 is supported by OPPO F11,


Oppo Reno, and variants.[8]
SuperVOOC is supported by Oppo Find
X.[9]
Warp Charge is supported by the
OnePlus 7.[5]
VOOC 2.0 is supported by OPPO R6
through Oppo R15, by F1 (Find 1) Plus
through Find X, and since Realme 3 Pro
and by Oppo N3.[10][11][12]
OnePlus devices since OnePlus 3
support Dash Charge, claiming to
charge "a day's power in half an
hour".[13]
All models reported include the "s" (or
OnePlus "T"), Plus, and Pro" variants.

Oppo's mobile DAC, Oppo H1-2SE also


features VOOC charging.

Technology
All versions of VOOC requires a special
cable to work.[14] In addition to electrical
requirements like thickness for the high
current, the VOOC 2.0/Dash protocol
requires a fifth pin on the (USB-A to USB-C)
cable to communicate through.[15] Without
such a communication, the charger runs at
a limit of 5V/1.5A.[16]

On the Android phone end, the VOOC


communication code is open source under
GNU General Public License (GNU GPL)
version 2 as a part of the modified Linux
kernel, and has been used by custom
ROMs like Lineage OS.[17] The firmware
code for PIC16F microcontrollers on the
"VOOC IC" is also defined in the
code.[18][19] There is some rudimentary
documentation provided by OnePlus,
which mentions a BQ27541 battery gauge
chip made by Texas Instruments, with
Dash-specific protocol extensions.[20] The
source code allows a list of parts used for
the technology to be made: for example,
the Find X uses a pic1508/stm8s chip on
the adapter and a bq25882 two-cell
charger chip on the phone. The BQ27541
gauge is exchanged for a BQ28Z610
gauge which can handle two-cell battery
packs.[18]
Other charging technology
USB-PD and PPS
Qualcomm's Quick Charge
Mediatek's Pump Express
Huawei's SuperCharge
