RF Wireless Charging Leader Unveils Powerful One-Chip Solution
Including Power Management Following Strategic Partnership
Announcement
Dialog Semiconductor plc (XETRA:DLG), a provider of highly
integrated power management, AC/DC power conversion, solid state
lighting and Bluetooth(R) low energy technology, in partnership
with Energous Corporation (NASDAQ: WATT), the developer of
WattUp(R), a revolutionary wire-free charging technology that
provides over-the-air power at a distance, today announced the
availability of the DA4100 RF-transmit Integrated Circuit (IC). The
new IC greatly simplifies the implementation of WattUp wireless
power transmitter systems making them smaller and more
cost-effective.
The new DA4100 WattUp IC is the first chip to be made available
following the announcement of Dialog Semiconductor's strategic
partnership and investment in Energous Corporation in November
2016. The investment and partnership saw Dialog become the
exclusive component supplier of WattUp ICs and allows Energous to
leverage Dialog's broad sales and distribution channels to
accelerate market adoption.
"We're pleased to see the first results of our partnership with
Energous Corporation in the form of the WattUp wireless power
RF-transmit IC," said Mark Tyndall, Senior Vice President,
Corporate Development and Strategy, Dialog Semiconductor. "We
partnered with Energous because we see the potential of their
technology to revolutionize the wireless charging landscape, and we
believe this new IC will demonstrate how our partnership can
transform device charging."
"This new IC will be the backbone of transmitters moving forward
and our efforts to miniaturize and reduce costs will allow WattUp
transmitters to be included in-the-box with many consumer devices,"
said Stephen R. Rizzone, president and CEO of Energous. "By
combining multiple discrete components present in our early
reference designs into a single silicon chip, we can significantly
reduce the cost and silicon footprint requirements of our
transmitters while decreasing the bill of materials for our
customers."
The WattUp wireless power RF-transmit IC integrates the ARM(R)
Cortex(R)M0+, RF transmitter and power management functionality
into a single 7mm x 7mm IC. It also features on-chip DC-DC
conversion and software, providing seamless integration to Dialog's
SmartBond(TM) family of highly integrated, low power BLE SoCs. The
new IC minimizes required board space, enabling ultra-small
charging transmitters and simplifying WattUp's wireless power
transmitter system implementation.
Evaluation kits of the DA4100 WattUp wireless power RF-transmit
IC are sampling now. For more information on the WattUp transmitter

About Energous Corporation
Energous Corporation is the developer of WattUp(R) -- an
award-winning, wire-free charging technology that will transform
the way consumers and industries charge and power electronic
devices at home, in the office, in the car and beyond. WattUp is a
revolutionary radio frequency (RF) based charging solution that
delivers intelligent, scalable power via radio bands, similar to a
Wi-Fi router. WattUp differs from older wireless charging systems
in that it delivers contained power, at a distance, to multiple
devices -- thus resulting in a wire-free experience that saves
users from having to remember to plug in their devices. For more
