Supporting the Wireless Power Consortium’s Qi standard, the P9027 is an 8W receiver featuring an ultra compact solution size – approximately 37 square millimeters – and requiring six fewer capacitors than competitive products. The result is less board space and a lower BOM cost.
The device’s proprietary alignment guide optimises inductive coupling with the transmitter to maximise coil-to-coil power efficiency. The 3 to 7V adjustable output voltage range is capable of driving a variety of downstream power management ICs, while proprietary foreign object detection ensures safe operation in the presence of metal objects.
Arman Naghavi, Vice President, Analog Power Technology, IDT, commented: “As the technology inside our portable devices evolves, IDT continues to develop products to enhance the user experience while keeping product manufacturing costs low. The P9027’s thermal performance and size – teamed with its ability to lower BOM cost – make it ideal for the next generation of smart phones.”
