“Integrating wireless power capabilities into existing
electronics is a complex process, and one of the factors that has
unquestionably slowed its adoption throughout the electronics
industry,” said David Green, research manager, Power Supplies &
Wireless Power at IHS. “This approach of providing self-contained,
ready-to-go wireless charging kits has the potential to change the
landscape for those not yet equipped.”
The 5-Watt, 5-Volt solution is suitable for a wide range of
applications, including PC peripherals, furniture, medical devices,
and other portable devices still hindered by traditional
contact-based charging bases or cables.
“There is heavy demand for wireless power in mid- and low-volume
applications that is currently underserved in the market,” said
Greg Waters, president and CEO at IDT. “By offering a
pre-configured, comprehensive, out-of-the-box solution, we make it
possible for customers to design a wireless power solution with
very little to no engineering support required. This results in a
quick-turn and highly-scalable model that enables customers to take
full advantage of IDT’s industry-leading wireless power
products.”
The transmitter and receiver reference kits are built around
proven IDT wireless power semiconductors, and include easy-to-use
reference boards and comprehensive design support collateral.
Support materials include instructional videos, user manuals,
foreign object detection (FOD) tuning guides, layout guides, layout
instantiation modules, schematics, bill-of-materials (BOM), Gerber
files, and more.
Both reference kits offer 2-layer board layout files, providing
maximum flexibility for most applications. The boards are
Qi-compliant for use as-is.
The kits can be used for immediate prototyping. An associated
layout module enables direct instantiation on to a system board,
while an optimized and fully tested BOM takes the guess-work out of
component selection. Foreign object detection (FOD) tuning is
supported via selectable pre-programmed curve settings and
extensive collateral documenting FOD tuning for these devices.
“Digi-Key anticipates great interest in these industry-first
wireless power products, and we’re able to offer kits purchased
through digikey.com’s wireless charging landing page at less than
half the price of traditional evaluation kits of this type,” said
David Stein, vice president, Global Semiconductor at Digi-Key
Electronics. “With next-day delivery, engineers can go from concept
to prototype in fewer than 24 hours. In addition, the full
bill-of-materials and pre-production samples can be ordered with
just a few clicks, making it easy to place production orders when
the time is right.”
Pricing and Availability
The P9038-R-EVK and P9025AC-R-EVK are available now at suggested
retail prices of $40 and $30, respectively, and can be ordered
directly from participating distribution partners. For the best
prototyping and evaluation experience, it is recommended to order
both the transmitter and receiver kits. Limited quantities are
available and will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
Free samples are available for approved customers.
