SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated
Device Technology, Inc. (IDT) (NASDAQ: IDTI), will demonstrate
at CES 2019 a cutting-edge wireless power transmitter that enables
mobile OEMs and peripheral manufacturers to design high-capacity
wireless charging into their products. Developed around the IDT®
P9242-G converged Tx IC and coupled with Ventiva's line of silent,
small, vibration-less air movers, the new solution shows how
innovative and thoughtful product design can mitigate and even
eliminate the system-level heat and noise constraints to wireless
charging once thought intractable. The demonstration is the product
of collaboration and investment by IDT in Ventiva, a Silicon
Valley-based startup developing solid-state air moving
technologies.
The pre-production Tx can deliver a sustained 15W of input power
to a 15W-enabled wireless power device while keeping the smartphone
cool to the touch. In high-capacity mode, the new Tx charges a
receiver device as fast as if it were plugged into an electrical
outlet. The Tx is compatible with existing wireless power receivers
and is also smart, capable of decreasing input power or increasing
cooling as the device being charged requires. Thanks to the
Ventiva® Ionic Cooling Engine (ICE™), the Tx has no moving parts
and is noiseless, making it the first commercial application of an
air moving technology for thermal management only theorized about
for decades. Developed over 10 years, ICE uses the principle of
ionization to move air silently.
"The ultimate goal of OEMs is a wireless power transmitter that
charges as fast as wired chargers and without fans and their
accompanying noise and vibration. Today the IDT and Ventiva
partnership is showing what is possible with a very elegant
solution combining world-class wireless power design from IDT and
pioneering thermal technology from Ventiva," said Chris Stephens, vice president of IDT's Wireless
Power Division. "This latest innovation continues IDT's commitment
to deploying significant advances to our wireless charging
ecosystem."
"We are thrilled to finally take the wraps off of ICE and
honored that the world-leader in wireless charging saw the
connection between us and the fastest possible charging speed,"
said Carl Schlachte, chief executive
officer of Ventiva. "In combination with IDT's equity investment,
Ventiva is now ready to move our Ionic Cooling Engine to market."
Schlachte adds, "This demonstration unit is an example of what I've
always wanted, a wireless charger that's super-fast and totally
silent. This will spur creativity and as we go into production I
expect the wireless power community will come up with new and
exciting innovations."
IDT is the global leader in wireless power solutions for both
the Rx used in smartphones and other applications, as well as the
Tx used in charging pads and automotive in-car applications. To
