“Integrating wireless power capabilities into existing electronics is a
complex process, and one of the factors that has unquestionably slowed
its adoption throughout the electronics industry,” said David Green,
research manager, Power Supplies & Wireless Power at IHS. “This approach
of providing self-contained, ready-to-go wireless charging kits has the
potential to change the landscape for those not yet equipped.”
The 5-Watt, 5-Volt solution is suitable for a wide range of
applications, including PC peripherals, furniture, medical devices, and
other portable devices still hindered by traditional contact-based
charging bases or cables.
“There is heavy demand for wireless power in mid- and low-volume
applications that is currently underserved in the market,” said Greg
Waters, president and CEO at IDT. “By offering a pre-configured,
comprehensive, out-of-the-box solution, we make it possible for
customers to design a wireless power solution with very little to no
engineering support required. This results in a quick-turn and
highly-scalable model that enables customers to take full advantage of
IDT’s industry-leading wireless power products.”
The transmitter and receiver reference kits are built around proven IDT
wireless power semiconductors, and include easy-to-use reference boards
and comprehensive design support collateral. Support materials include
instructional videos, user manuals, foreign object detection (FOD)
tuning guides, layout guides, layout instantiation modules, schematics,
bill-of-materials (BOM), Gerber files, and more.
Both reference kits offer 2-layer board layout files, providing maximum
flexibility for most applications. The boards are Qi-compliant for use
as-is.
The kits can be used for immediate prototyping. An associated layout
module enables direct instantiation on to a system board, while an
optimized and fully tested BOM takes the guess-work out of component
selection. Foreign object detection (FOD) tuning is supported via
selectable pre-programmed curve settings and extensive collateral
documenting FOD tuning for these devices.
“Digi-Key anticipates great interest in these industry-first wireless
power products, and we’re able to offer kits purchased through
digikey.com’s wireless
charging landing page at less than half the price of traditional
evaluation kits of this type,” said David Stein, vice president, Global
Semiconductor at Digi-Key Electronics. “With next-day delivery,
engineers can go from concept to prototype in fewer than 24 hours. In
addition, the full bill-of-materials and pre-production samples can be
ordered with just a few clicks, making it easy to place production
orders when the time is right.”
Pricing and Availability
The P9038-R-EVK and P9025AC-R-EVK are available now at suggested retail
prices of $40 and $30, respectively, and can be ordered directly from
participating distribution partners. For the best prototyping and
evaluation experience, it is recommended to order both the transmitter
and receiver kits. Limited quantities are available and will be sold on
a first-come, first-served basis. Free samples are available for
approved customers.
