New Power Bank Standard: Why RTC Matters

In March 2026, China announced a new mandatory safety standard for power banks (GB47372-2026), which will take effect on April 1,2027. This regulation requires all power banks to comply with precise timing for data traceability, intelligent control, and lifespan management. The transition period is only 12 months, urging manufacturers to quickly adapt their products.

To help manufacturers comply with these regulations, YXC Technology offers the YSN8563 RTC chip—a low cost, reliable solution that meets the new compliance requirements with minimal design changes.

Why Accurate RTC Is Required
The new safety standard mandates three key requirements that rely on precise, non-drifting time references to ensure compliance:
Event Traceability: Accurate time logging for events like over-temperature and over-voltage, ensuring safety and compliance.
Battery Life Management: Monitoring and controlling battery cycles and health through precise timing.
Smart Charging Control: RTC-driven charging strategies that optimize battery longevity and prevent overcharging. 

YXC YSN8563 RTC Chip: A Cost-Efficient Compliance Solution 


YSN8563 Key Features:

Ultra Low Power Consumption: Operating current as low as 0.25μA (@3.0V, 25℃) to ensure minimal impact on power bank battery life.
Wide Voltage Range: Operates from 1.0V to 5.5V, ideal for power bank applications.
Temperature Tolerance: Wide operating temperature range from -40℃ to +85℃, suited for harsh environments.
Compact Packaging: Available in SOP-8 and MSOP-8 packages to meet space-constrained designs.

The YSN8563 provides a precise time base that meets the new compliance requirements without significant redesign costs. 


Benefits for Power Bank Manufacturers


• Faster Compliance: Quickly meet the new safety standards without the need for major product redesigns.

• Lower BOM Cost: With minimal components required (just an RTC and crystal), the YSN8563 offers the best cost performance for compliance.
• Increased Product Value: Beyond compliance, the RTC enables advanced features like battery health tracking, smart charging modes, and safety alerts.

Need a Higher Integration Option?

For manufacturers looking for a more integrated solution, YXC offers the YSN8130E, which includes a built-in crystal and dual power supply switch, offering a more compact solution for space-optimized devices.

Recommended for High-End Models:
YSN8563: Ideal for mainstream power banks with cost-effective compliance and low power consumption.
YSN8130E: Best for high-end, compact power banks with stringent design requirements.
