IDT Selected to Develop Integrated Receiver Chip Based on Qualcomm’s Wireless Power Technology

Business Wire
Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®) (NASDAQ:IDTI) and
Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ:QCOM) today announced that the two
companies have collaborated together to enable IDT’s development of
an integrated circuit (IC) for consumer electronics devices based
on Qualcomm’s WiPower™ Technology. This IC will be designed to meet
the requirements of Qualcomm’s new near-field magnetic resonance
wireless power charging solution that is designed to provide
spatial freedom for charging consumer electronics, such as mobile
phones and other battery-powered/low-power direct-charge
devices.
“IDT’s leadership position in the wireless power industry has
been proven by our award winning highly-integrated IDTP9030
transmitter and multi-mode IDTP9020 receiver chipset,” said Arman
Naghavi, vice president and general manager of the Analog and Power
Division at IDT. “We welcome the advancements that Qualcomm is
making with WiPower technology, and plan to support its continued
success by delivering the industry’s most innovative
application-optimized solutions. IDT is excited to have been
selected by Qualcomm to engage in this collaboration.”
“We are pleased that IDT has collaborated with Qualcomm to
design an integrated circuit based on our existing WiPower
reference design,” said Steve Pazol, vice president of business
development at Qualcomm. “We chose to work with IDT because they
have proven their ability to develop compact, monolithic solutions.
Unlike traditional consumer electronics wireless power solutions
that bind the user to a charging mat, Qualcomm is looking to expand
WiPower Technology into everyday surfaces, making it convenient for
the user to top-off their portable devices throughout the day.”
Developed by Qualcomm, WiPower technology uses resonant wireless
energy transfer to elegantly reduce the amount of device chargers,
unsightly power strips, and congested wall outlets to perform
wireless charging, allowing for aesthetic charging pad designs that
blend into a home, an office, and furniture. The power pads do not
generally require a precise alignment of devices on the charging
area or direct contact to charge a device, and can also charge
multiple devices simultaneously.
