SAN JOSE, Calif., June 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated Device
Technology, Inc. (IDT) (NASDAQ: IDTI) announced today that its
wireless charging technology is powering the new generation of
Ticwatch, a cutting-edge smartwatch from the Chinese company
Mobvoi. The second-generation Ticwatch, introduced in China earlier this month, integrates IDT's
leading wireless power technology for convenient, wire-free
charging.
The Ticwatch features advanced voice recognition and natural
language processing via its Chumenwenwen service. Users can control
their Ticwatch by motion, voice, gesture and a "tickle strip" that
lets users scroll without blocking the screen.
Mobvoi selected the IDT® P9220 receiver for the
smartwatch and the IDT P9235 transmitter for the charging pad. The
company determined that the IDT solution provided greater
integration and higher efficiency than competitive offerings.
"Innovators like Mobvoi are turning to IDT to help cut the cord
and enable the convenience and reliability of wire-free charging,"
said Chris Stephens, general manager
of IDT's Wireless Power Division. "The Ticwatch underscores how IDT
wireless charging solutions can be used in ultra-compact, thermally
challenged applications like smartwatches and fitness and health
monitors."
"IDT's wireless charging solution is not only for high-power
transfer products, but is also very suitable for low-power products
like smartwatches," said Zhifei Li,
CEO of Mobvoi. "Thanks to the flexible system architecture, we can
optimize hardware and software freely to achieve very high
efficiency with any desired load current while maintaining system
stability at a high level. By adopting the IDT solution and
Mobvoi's innovative wireless charging management algorithms
(TichargeTM), Ticwatch achieves best-in-class wireless
charging efficiency and charges the battery rapidly with good
thermal performance."
In addition to the wireless power chips selected for the
Ticwatch, IDT also offers a complete wireless power kit that makes
it easy for engineers to integrate wireless charging capabilities
into compact designs with charging requirements of 3 W or
less.
