IDT ( www.idt.com , Country Manager for Korea: Sang-Yup Lee), an analog-digital company leading the core mixed-signal semiconductor solutions market, today unveiled a single-chip receiver solution with the industry's highest output power and the industry's first true single-chip wireless power transmitter. IDT's new, highly integrated multimode transmitter reduces board area by 80% and solution Bill of Material (BOM) costs by 50% compared to existing solutions. The new multimode receiver used in conjunction with this enables double the power reception compared to existing solutions, allowing charging time to be cut in half.

The IDTP9030 and IDTP9020 consist of wireless power transmitter and receiver solutions designed to meet the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) Qi standard, enabling them to operate alongside all other devices compliant with the WPC Qi standard. Both the new transmitter and receiver support multi-mode operation and proprietary formats in addition to the Qi standard, facilitating the addition of new features and improvements in safety and power output performance. Furthermore, built-in protocol detection enables seamless mode switching between Qi mode and proprietary modes, ensuring a trouble-free user environment. These devices enable convenient and easy battery charging in various mobile applications.

Arman Naghavi, Vice President and General Manager of IDT’s Analog and Power Business Unit, emphasized, “IDT has introduced the industry’s first true single-chip wireless power transmitter IC solution capable of addressing the wireless power market, which is expected to be worth $3.3 billion.” He stated, “The new transmitter introduced by IDT not only significantly reduces the application footprint from 1,800 mm² to 360 mm² but also integrates the functions of nine ICs into a single chip, enabling users to develop slimmer and more economical products,” and explained, “In addition, IDT’s proprietary multimode function provides superior advantages over the Qi standard by improving detection capabilities for external objects to enhance safety and increasing output power to reduce charging time.”

The IDTP9030 is a wireless power transmitter boasting the highest integration rate in the industry, integrating the functions and specifications of dozens of discrete components into a simplified solution that is both economical and highly efficient. Thanks to this high level of integration, the application footprint and component count are minimized, enabling users to design and supply slimmer, more economical, and conveniently deployable wireless charging stations. This type of charging station can be installed almost anywhere, including homes, offices, libraries, shops, public waiting areas, automobiles, airports, and aircraft seats.

The IDTP9020 is a high-efficiency single-chip wireless power receiver that supplies up to 5W to the system in Qi mode. When used with the IDTP9030 transmitter in a proprietary configuration that does not comply with Qi standards, it supplies up to 7.5W, making it suitable for high-performance mobile devices such as tablets, smartphones, digital cameras, GPS devices, and headsets. Using the IDTP9030 and IDTP9020 together creates the industry's most efficient and comprehensive wireless power solution, further reducing energy costs and charging times.

The IDTP9020 and IDTP9030 maintain a high level of safety through sophisticated multi-parameter algorithms, while featuring IDT's proprietary multi-layered FOD function that prevents external object detection (FOD), error-induced alarms, and malfunctions. IDT's new wireless charging solution, equipped with overheating, overvoltage, and overcurrent protection, ensures safe and stable operation based on the industry's most comprehensive protection specifications. Additionally, since this receiver supports battery charging via a USB cable when a wireless charging station is unavailable, there is no need to equip mobile devices with an external USB adapter switch.
