Energous Corporation Announces New DA2223 Receiver IC Designed for Small Electronic Devices
November 27 2018 - 6:00AM
Energous Corporation (NASDAQ: WATT), the developer of WattUp, a
revolutionary wireless charging 2.0 technology, today announced the
availability of its DA2223 receiver chip, which is the latest
addition to its family of integrated circuits (ICs). At just 1.7mm
x 1.4mm and less than 0.5mm thin, the DA2223 4-port RF-to-DC
wireless power chip is the smallest RF rectifier IC in the Energous
technology portfolio.
Depending on the device power level, a complete WattUp wireless
power receiver can be realized using a single DA2223 IC coupled
with a matching circuit made from two standard discrete components
and a tiny 2mm x 3mm antenna, which itself can be formed using
simple printed circuit board tracking. Such a small form
factor makes it ideal for use in small electronic devices where a
coil-based wireless charging system is not practical.
“At just 1.7mm x 1.4mm in size, the DA2223 was designed for very
small form factor applications like True-Wireless Stereo earbuds,
hearing aids and wearables, which we expect to be a large part of
our revenue ramp from 2019,” said Stephen R. Rizzone, president and
CEO of Energous Corporation. “Partnered with Dialog Semiconductor,
we continue to innovate turnkey solutions that increase our
competitive separation from older, first generation coil-based
solutions. Energous and Dialog are leading the advancement of next
generation wireless power technology and paving the way for the
global build out of the wireless charging 2.0 ecosystem.”
Energous’ new DA2223 receiver IC:
- Features four RF-to-DC rectifiers, allowing the connection of
up to four antennas for optimal freedom-of-placement while
charging, or the pairing of rectifier paths for increased
power
- Supports dual frequencies (915 MHz or 5.8 GHz)
- Leverages the 12-pin WLCSP (Wafer Level Chip Scale Package),
which offers customers flexibility in integration; max dimensions:
1.69 mm x 1.39 mm x 0.485 mm, 0.4 mm pitch
- Complements the Energous portfolio of IC solutions, including
the fully integrated WattUp power transmitter IC (DA4100) and the
wireless power RF-to-DC receiver IC (DA2210)
“DA2223 expands the existing portfolio of WattUp wireless
charging ICs, providing a comprehensive chipset for customers to
innovate with,” said Mark Tyndall, senior vice president corporate
development and strategy, and general manager, Emerging Products
Business Group, at Dialog Semiconductor. “The WattUp chipset is
custom-built and cost-optimized for both at-contact and
over-the-air RF-based wireless charging, and with the addition of
this latest receiver IC, we are able to broaden the market reach
into even smaller products.”
