Mouser Electronics is stocking components in support of the Wireless Power Consortium’s Qi (pronounced “chee”) global standards for interoperability between wireless power transmitters and wireless power receivers. The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) is dedicated to promoting wireless charging stations that are compatible across different companies and countries.
Texas Instruments’ BQ500110 / BQ500210 Wireless Power Transmitter Managers integrate the logic functions required to control wireless power transfer and come with single channel WPC compliant contactless charging base station. TI’s BQ51011 Gen 2 Wireless Power Receiver provides AC/DC power conversion while integrating the digital control required to comply with the WPC v1.0 communication protocol. These transmitters and receivers are designed for devices such as cell phones, smart phones, headsets, digital cameras, portable media players and hand-held devices.
Both the TI transmitter and receiver are supported by robust development tools. TI’s bqTESLA150LP Evaluation Kit includes transmitter with a Qi-compliant controller and a Qi-compliant receiver IC. Vishay’s IWAS Series Wireless Charging Receiving Coil/Shield provides high permeability shielding, blocks charging flux from sensitive components or batteries.
