[Techtaffy Newsdesk]

Integrated Device Technology has launched the world’s first true single-chip wireless power transmitter accompanied by the industry’s highest-output-power single-chip receiver solution, says the company.

The IDTP9030 and IDTP9020 comprise a wireless power transmitter and receiver solution designed to meet the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) Qi standard. Both transmitter and receiver are capable of “multi-mode” operation, supporting both the Qi standard as well as proprietary formats.

Arman Naghavi (Vice president and general manager, Analog and Power Division, IDT): IDT is the first to offer a true single-chip wireless power transmitter IC solution to address a projected $3.3B wireless power market. IDT’s new transmitter reduces application footprint from 1800 mm2 to 360 mm2 and consolidates the function of nine ICs into one.

The IDTP9030 and IDTP9020 are currently sampling to qualified customers. They are available in 48-lead 6 x 6 mm VFQFN (IDTP9030) and 56-lead 7 x 7 mm TQFN (IDTP9020) packages. The IDTP9030 and IDTP9020 are priced at $4.70 and $3.60 each for volumes of 10,000 units, respectively.
