Dual-mode wireless power receiver is 'world's first'

Claiming an industry first, IDT has developed a dual-mode wireless power receiver that is compatible with both the WPC 1.1 Qi and PMA 1.1 standards.

The IDTP9023 is a single chip solution consisting of a synchronous full bridge rectifier, high efficiency synchronous buck converter and embedded microcontroller. The MCU helps to optimise power delivery to the mobile device's load, while minimising application footprint, component count and thermal dissipation. The IDTP9023 supports all WPC and PMA receiver coils, as well as proprietary and PCB based coils. Arman Naghavi, vice president and general manager of the Analog and Power Division at IDT, commented: "Our new device gives customers a clear upgrade path to meet the latest magnetic induction standards requirements and offer consumers full compatibility with any Qi or PMAcertified charging base currently on the market. "The chip's high efficiency and small application footprint make it well suited for tomorrow's ultra thin, lightweight and compact portable devices."
