For wireless charging system developers launching certified Qi 1.3 transmitters under tight timelines, Microchip’s three-coil Qi 1.3 reference design provides a head start for product development. The reference design fully integrates secure storage subsystem software with the wireless power microcontroller (MCU) and is a flexible solution, enabling custom topologies and foreign object detection (FOD) implementation.
“Wireless charging makes it easy and convenient for consumers to charge devices and, as a result, demand for these systems in the automotive and consumer segments is on the rise,” said Joe Thomsen, vice president, MCU16 business unit. “Microchip’s Qi 1.3 reference design, tools and support help engineers to meet rapidly evolving development requirements and enable easy certification of the new Qi 1.3 transmitter designs, speeding time to market and easing end-product certification.”
Included in Microchip’s reference design solution for wireless charging systems are all required elements: Qi controller, Qi application software, provisioned authentication controller that is a WPC-approved secure storage subsystem and crypto software libraries that execute on the Qi controller. The reference design includes complete schematics, bill of materials, software and design guidelines. Microchip is partnering with Avnet to make evaluation boards for the Qi reference design available to qualified customers around the world.
To support its Qi 1.3 wireless power solution, Microchip provides the dsPIC33C family of devices to run the Qi application software and the ECC608/TA100 secure storage subsystem provisioned by Microchip as a licensed WPC Manufacturing Certificate Authority. As a total system solution, this reference design also incorporates MIC4605 and MCP14700 gate drivers, MCP16331 and MCP1725 regulators, an MCP6C02 current sense device, an ATA6563 CAN transceiver and an MCP9700 temperature sensor
About PRHUB
Engineering Industrial Foundry and Company (EIFCO) was founded by Mr. R. Sampath in 1958. A micro foundry and small hardware store back then, the premises was frequented by customers who were awestruck by Mr. Sampath’s in-depth knowledge in the mechanical engineering domain. Buoyed by the encouragement of his customers and well-wishers, it wasn’t long before he ventured in the machine tools business – a natural forward integration of the foundry.
Today, EIFCO takes pride in its 120 strong and highly motivated team striving towards delivering products and services that not just live up to customer expectations, but exceed them. They include experts in machine design with a strong focus on R&D.
EIFCO’s infrastructure includes a captive foundry backed by HMC’s, VMC’s, Turning Centres, CNC Cylindrical grinder, Plan Miller, Internal Grinder, Surface Grinder, Gear Shapers, CNC Gear Hobbers, and run of the mill lathes and milling machines for crafting state of the art machines.
EIFCO can confidently assert its CNC Gear Hobbing Technology and drilling solutions are amongst the very best in the world.
With its uncompromising commitment to quality, and “Reliability Ensured” as its credo, EIFCO’s products have found favour among customers, pan India, backed by a robust dealer network. EIFCO executes regular export orders from existing customers overseas. On the anvil are ambitious expansion plans with its new generation CNC Gear Hobbing Machines, for catering to the European markets.
