SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics
(LG) and Integrated Device Technology, Inc.
(NASDAQ:IDTI) (IDT) have partnered on the world's first
implementation of Qi wireless charging Extended Power Profile (EPP)
in a flagship smartphone, the LG V30. EPP enables safe, wireless
fast charging capability while remaining compatible with existing
Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), Qi 5W, baseline transmitters
commonly used today.
IDT's market-leading wireless power chips are designed to
provide fast wireless charging by reducing charge times by up to 30
percent. The addition of the wireless charging feature contributes
to the water-resistance and durability of the sleek, low profile,
Qi-certified smartphone design.
LG's latest flagship sets a new standard in the evolution of
premium smartphones with its offering of optimal multimedia
capabilities. The V30 features many industry innovations – the
first F1.6 aperture glass Crystal Clear Lens, the first OLED
FullVision display, Cine Video mode for producing movie-quality
videos, premium sound with advanced Hi-Fi Quad DAC and sound tuning
by B&O PLAY.
"With the introduction of the V30, LG has cemented their
position as a technology leader in wireless power with the adoption
of fast charging based on the extended Qi specification," said
Chris Stephens, general manager of
IDT's Mobile Power and Sensing Division. "We anticipate that the
industry will follow LG's pioneering adoption of the Extended Power
Profile specification to increase wireless charging speed."
The IDT wireless power receiver offers best-in-industry
integration, efficiency, and solution area. The device is based on
a flexible 32-bit ARM® M0 core architecture that has
allowed LG to optimize wireless charging performance and charging
speed.
"We're again partnering with IDT on the V30 because their
technology is second to none when it comes to fast, convenient
wireless charging, which is a key feature for many of our premium
phone customers," said Ha Jeung-uk,
vice president and head of LG Mobile's premium business division.
"The ability to charge wirelessly 30 percent faster than before
gives the V30 a huge advantage over the competition."
