Infineon launches first Qi2 MPP wireless charging transmitter solution at OktoberTech Silicon Valley Station

【Lansheng Technology News】Infineon Technologies recently launched the first Qi2 magnetic power profile (MPP) charging transmitter solution - REF_WLC_TX15W_M1 reference design kit to help meet consumers' needs for a more complete wireless charging user experience. Qi2 is a new standard released by the Wireless Power Alliance that redefines inductive wireless power transmission.

Highly integrated and optimized for size, with a diameter of less than 43 mm, this reference design kit is a programmable wireless charging transmitter centered on the Infineon WLC1 controller and equipped with WLC1 functionality. The IC integrates a flash microcontroller, 4.5 V to 24 V DC input buck-boost conversion controller, inverter gate driver and factory-calibrated current sensing, with analog protection peripherals, USB PD and LIN, and serial interfaces. Enables efficient and intelligent power transmission.

REF_WLC_TX15W_M1 is supported by ModusToolbox™ with code examples to help users take full advantage of the IC's configuration capabilities. The 15 W Qi2 MPP Solution Development Board is backwards compatible with the base power profile, enabling receivers that do not support MPP to wirelessly charge at 5 W power. Additionally, the multipath ASK demodulator and adaptive foreign object detection make it a robust and secure wireless power solution.

Ganesh Subramaniam, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Wired Connectivity Solutions Product Line at Infineon Technologies, said: “With the launch of the Qi2 standard, our programmable solutions can provide the industry with the flexibility needed to quickly adapt and provide automotive and consumer applications to provide differentiated functionality.”

This wireless charging transmitter solution development board will be demonstrated publicly for the first time at the Infineon OktoberTech™ Silicon Valley Station. OktoberTech is an annual technology cooperation forum hosted by Infineon. The forum will be held on October 25 at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, USA.
