SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated Device
Technology, Inc. (IDT®) (NASDAQ: IDTI) today announced the
world's first transmitter reference design for wireless charging of
iPhone® 8 and iPhone X models with up to 7.5W of power, in addition
to supporting WPC EPP and other Android-based fast charging modes.
This new reference design is a compelling solution for designers
and manufacturers of wireless charging pads, enabling them to
create transmitters for Apple, Android and other devices that use
the Qi wireless charging standard.
"Apple's announcement in September to include Qi-based wireless
charging in the latest iPhone models has dramatically increased
user interest and with the recent release of the Apple iOS 11.2
upgrade, owners of these smartphones can now enjoy the benefits of
fast wireless charging," said Chris
Stephens, general manager of IDT's Mobile Power and Sensing
Division. "IDT's continued leadership in wireless power innovation
is demonstrated in this converged solution which allows both
Android and iOS smartphone fast wireless charging."
At the heart of the reference design solution is the new IDT®
P9242-G transmitter IC which provides for extremely accurate fixed
frequency operation for EMI compatibility with EN303 417 and
enhanced smartphone application co-existence. The reference kit
supports the WPC Qi Baseline Power Profile (BPP) and Extended Power
Profile (EPP) up to 15W with enhanced Foreign Object Detection
(FOD) for a highly reliable and robust user experience.
Additionally, the converged transmitter design supports all major
fast wireless charging protocols.
The P9242-G-EVK reference kit has an input voltage range of 11V
to 19V, supports USB or USB Type-C connectors and can be upgraded
in the field through the system flash memory. The reference kit
boasts extremely low quiescent power of less than 900mW.
IDT is sampling the product now and will release for broader
availability in January, 2018. Visit idt.com/wireless power for
