SAN JOSE, Calif., June 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated
Device Technology, Inc. (IDT) (NASDAQ: IDTI) today announced today
that Hotel Technologies, a partner company of iHome, selected an
IDT® transmitter IC to deliver wireless charging for iHome's newest
products targeting the hotel market—a charging hub and an alarm
clock/speaker. The iHome products deliver the in-room convenience
of wireless charging for Qi-enabled smartphones and wearables.
"We selected IDT because the company is the leader in wireless
charging and has a long record of success with a wide variety of
customers," said Evan Stein,
director of marketing of Hotel Technologies and iHome. "The team at
IDT made the integration of wireless charging remarkably easy,
helping us to develop our latest innovative and feature-rich
products for the hotel market."
"IDT has been at the forefront of the rapid adoption of wireless
power in the smartphone and wearable markets, and working with a
leading brand like iHome helps expand the wireless power
infrastructure to hotel rooms," said Chris
Stephens, general manager of IDT's Wireless Power Division.
"Our wireless power semiconductors are now in everything from
smartphones to wearables to furniture, and now alarm clocks.
Innovative companies like iHome keep finding new ways to share the
benefits of wireless charging with consumers."
In addition to providing wireless charging, iHome's HiW44
desktop charging hub features retractable USB and Lightning cables,
as well as multiple USB and AC charging ports so guests can charge
all their electronics from one central hub. The HLW83 alarm
clock/speaker provides wireless charging, USB and NFC ports, a
patented triple display, and a speaker phone in a standard clock
radio format.
The IDT Qi-compatible wireless power technology used in iHome's
products features an embedded 32-Bit M0 ARM-based processor for
development flexibility; ultra-low standby and sleep mode power;
and high-efficiency power conversion of over 80 percent (when
tested with 5 V output applications with a matching receiver). The
chip is highly integrated to minimize the component count and bill
of materials.
