IDT Announces Industry’s First Dual-Mode Wireless Power Receiver IC Compatible With Both WPC and PMA Standards
April 16 2013 - 6:30AM
Business Wire
Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®) (NASDAQ: IDTI), the
Analog and Digital Company™ delivering essential mixed-signal
semiconductor solutions, today announced the industry’s first
dual-mode wireless power receiver IC that provides compatibility
with both the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) and Power Matters
Alliance (PMA) standards. IDT’s innovative receiver bridges the
technology gap between competing transmission standards, empowering
mobile device and accessory OEMs to use a single bill-of-materials
(BOM) to support both WPC and PMA standards.
The IDTP9021 is an enhanced version of IDT’s award winning
IDTP9020 wireless power receiver that complies with the PMA Type 1
Interoperability Specification in addition to the WPC "Qi"
standard, allowing customers to consolidate multi-chip
configurations into a single-chip solution. IDT’s device is the
industry’s first to receive pre-certification from the PMA, and is
the only solution with demonstrated compatibility between the two
most popular magnetic induction-based wireless power standards. The
IDTP9021 is ideal for use in a myriad of mobile devices, including
smart phones, tablets, MIDs, digital cameras, MP3 players, remote
controls, portable medical devices, and other personal
electronics.
“IDT’s receiver empowers OEMs to easily support multiple
standards with a single solution, which is a win-win for both OEMs
and consumers,” said Arman Naghavi, vice president and general
manager of the Analog and Power Division at IDT. “Since the
introduction of the IDTP9020 receiver and IDTP9030 transmitter, IDT
has consistently led the competition by equipping its customers
with the most advanced wireless power ICs. The IDTP9021 is the
latest addition to our growing portfolio, and we’re pleased to be
the first device to achieve PMA pre-certification. Future devices
will build upon the successes of these products to offer compliance
to the latest revisions of the standards along with new features
and packaging.”
“The Power Matters Alliance seeks to establish the guidelines
and standardize an infrastructure for the future of wireless
power,” said Ron Resnick, President of Power Matters Alliance.
“Companies like IDT are accelerating the progress toward
that future with the ability to integrate features and
functionality into a monolithic solution that complies with the PMA
standard. We’re excited to pre-certify IDT’s IDTP9021 wireless
power receiver IC, as it provides OEMs with the necessary
components to ensure compatibility with the PMA standard in next
generation mobile devices.”
The IDTP9021 integrates a high-efficiency synchronous full
bridge rectifier, high-efficiency synchronous buck converter, and
control circuits to wirelessly receive an AC power signal from a
compatible transmitter and convert it into a regulated 5 V
output voltage for powering and charging portal electronics. It
automatically switches between WPC and PMA protocols and negotiates
the power exchange without user supervision. This simplifies the
system architecture and ensures seamless operation during everyday
use. The device delivers 5W in WPC and PMA modes in accordance with
those standards. When paired with IDT wireless power transmitters,
systems can make use of the proprietary power control loop embedded
in the communication protocol to achieve a 50% increase in output
power to 7.5W.
Pricing and Availability
The IDTP9021 is currently sampling to qualified customers and is
available in a 56-lead WLCSP package. The IDTP9021 is priced at
$4.32 each for volumes of 1,000 units. For more information about
the IDP9021, please contact your local sales representative. To
