Renesas Electronics Corporation has introduced the P9418, a 60W wireless power receiver for delivering faster wireless charging experiences in smartphones, laptops, and notebook devices in the high power density solution. With the help of Renesas’ WattShare technology, P9418 can receive up to 60W of power in a single chip. The new wireless power transmitter/receiver IC (TRx) can be configured to transmit or receive an AC power signal through magnetic induction. When configured as the wireless power transmitter the device uses an on-chip full/half-bridge inverter, a PWM generator, a modulator/demodulator for communication.
The high-efficiency Synchronous Full Bridge Rectifier and the control circuit modulates the load to send message packets to the Transmitter ( Tx) to optimize power delivery. Customers can accelerate the development of their applications by combining the P9418 wireless charging receiver with Renesas’ power management portfolio including its USB Type-C power delivery and battery charging solutions.
