SAN JOSE, Calif., May 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated Device
Technology, Inc. (IDT) (NASDAQ: IDTI), today introduced a new
wireless power reference kit that helps make integrating wireless
charging into compact electronics easy and affordable. The new
IDT® Qi-based transmitter and receiver reference kit
targets designs requiring 3 W or less, such as smartwatches,
headphones, health and fitness trackers and portable medical
devices. Suited for applications ranging from 0.5 – 3 W, the
reference kit is comprised of both a transmitter (P9235A-R) and
receiver (P9027LP-R), with three different coil size options
supporting various applications, form factors and power levels.
Building on the success of IDT's groundbreaking 5 W reference
kits introduced last year, the comprehensive kit enables immediate
prototyping, meaning engineers can incorporate wireless charging
capabilities into their ultra-compact designs in a matter of
hours.
"We recently announced that we had delivered over 70 million
wireless power devices to date, indicating that wireless power has
truly entered mass adoption phase," said Dave Shepard, vice president of IDT's Consumer
Products Division. "We now anticipate large-scale wireless power
adoption in segments such as smartwatches, fitness and health
monitors. With the low-power kit, we want to follow the success of
our easy-to-use 5 W kit, which opened the market to customers who
don't have the expertise, budget or time to develop a custom
solution."
The kit's associated layout module allows for direct
instantiation on to a system board, while an optimized and fully
tested BOM takes the guesswork out of component selection. In
addition, an extensive digital library of collateral eliminates
traditional design and support barriers regardless of application
volume. Support materials include user manuals, layout guides,
layout instantiation modules, schematics, bill-of-materials (BOM),
Gerber files, and more.
Delivering peak 80 percent system efficiency at 3 W, the kit
offers seamless integration with the drop-in reference layout
provided, and an optimized thermal design.
"This new kit offers Digi-Key customers the opportunity to
fast-track wireless charging integration into their compact
electronic devices," said David
Stein, vice president, Global Semiconductor at Digi-Key
Electronics. "And just like the 5 W kit, next-day delivery helps
engineers go from concept to prototype in fewer than 24 hours."
Pricing and Availability
The new wireless power kit containing the transmitter, receiver
and additional coils is available now at a suggested retail price
$70 and can be ordered directly from
participating distribution partners. Free samples are available for
approved customers.
