Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®) (NASDAQ: IDTI), the
Analog and Digital Company™ delivering essential mixed-signal
semiconductor solutions, today announced that its wireless power
transmitter has been selected for TYLT’s award-winning “VÜ”
wireless charging base. The innovative free-position wireless
charger offers USB-level charging rates over a large “charging
zone”, and is fully compatible with Qi-compliant phones. IDT’s
solution was selected for its multi-coil support, compact size,
reduced bill-of-materials (BOM), functional flexibility,
programmability, and superior customer support.
The TYLT VÜ is an innovative, Qi-compliant wireless charging
base that sits at an ergonomically-friendly 45-degree angle to
enhance screen visibility while the phone is charging. The
multi-coil IDTP9036A-based wireless charging solution enables
free-positioning, allowing users to experience optimal USB-level
charging rates without the need to precisely align the wireless
power receiver coil. The TYLT VÜ will be offered for sale online by
Verizon Wireless and TYLT.
The IDTP9036A is a high-efficiency, feature-rich wireless power
transmitter certified to support the Wireless Power Consortium’s
(WPC’s) Tx-A6 multi-coil configuration. The device’s compact size
and small BOM enable charging base manufacturers to develop
aesthetically pleasing designs as stand-alone units or integrate
them into existing surfaces such as table tops. In addition, IDT
offers industry-leading application support along with a variety of
tools and collateral to aid in the development process.
“IDT provided excellent support through our design cycle and
provided us with the most cost-effective overall solution,” said
Kannyn MacRae, director of product management and marketing at
TYLT. “The IDTP9036A enabled TYLT to develop an innovative,
award-winning solution with free positioning – a feature that is
lacking in most existing wireless power chargers. The TYLT VÜ
allows customers to charge their phones in horizontal or vertical
positions, including upside down, while charging at the same rate
as a standard USB charger.”
“IDT was pleased to work with TYLT on their next-generation
free-position wireless charging base,” said Arman Naghavi, vice
president and general manager of the Analog and Power Division at
IDT. “Other existing charging bases require a magnet or other
mechanism to accurately position the transmitter and receiver coils
for maximum power transfer, or simply charge at sub-optimal levels.
Our IDTP9036A solution expands the charging zone to maximize
wireless power transfer when used with a variety of phones or
charging sleeves where the receiver does not utilize a magnet, or
when the receiver coil may be positioned off-center within the
phone. IDT’s innovative technology and world-class support are two
of many reasons why we are considered the leader in wireless power
solutions.”
In the Tx-A6 coil configuration, the centers of three
rectangular transmitting coils are configured in an in-line array
to provide a charging zone for the receiver coil that is
significantly larger than that of single-coil configurations. IDT’s
wireless power transmitter automatically determines the optimal
power transfer based on the position of the receiver coil, offering
charging rates rivaling those of wired USB connections. In
addition, the IDTP9036A is capable of achieving power transfer
rates up to 7.5W (50 percent higher than the current Qi standard)
when coupled with IDT’s compatible wireless power receivers.
Proprietary technology also offers designers the opportunity to add
differentiating features to wireless chargers, providing additional
safety and enhancing the user experience.
