March 31, 2014: Toshiba has developed its wireless power receiver IC model 'TC7763WBG', which can charge mobile phones, mobile accessories and wireless game controllers. Its Qi1 standard defined by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), compatible with many other devices and chargers which use the same technology.The circuit of this device has been given an optimized circuit to achieve a maximum output power of 5 watts.
This charging circuit is free of any exposed charging ports, which can in fact add to the advantage of the user. It also enables high power transmission that is required for wireless chargers to reduce charging time.
TC7763WBG can integrate protocol authentication circuit for power transfer, support foreign object detection (FOD) functions and even adopts compatible pin assignments, which allows replacement without any need to change PCB design.
"We are seeing a strong interest in wireless power technology for products like smartphones, game controllers, and other portable devices. Besides the advantage of charging a device without the use of a cable, one interesting and emerging application is for mobile waterproof gadgets where a device is fully enclosed in its housing with no exposed connectors. Customers are demanding a quick way to charge their portable electronics and this chipset provides a convenient and effective way to satisfy their demand," concluded Deepak Mithani, Senior Director of the Mixed Signal Business Unit, System LSI Group at Toshiba.
