Toshiba has this week unveiled a new chip they have created in the form of the Toshiba “TC7763WBG” a wireless power receiver IC for mobile equipment that is compatible with the Qi standard.
Toshiba has optimised the new chip circuit design to increase maximum output power to 5 Watts and it offers a 95% maximum power conversion efficiency. This is a significant improvement over previous models, making it a highly efficient solution for wireless charging needs.
Advanced Features and Benefits
The TC7763WBG chip integrates a protocol authentication circuit for power transfers and supports foreign object detection (FOD) functions. This ensures that the device can safely and efficiently manage power transfer, reducing the risk of overheating or damage due to foreign objects. Toshiba explains a little more:
“Wireless charging allows adoption of an insulated case free of exposed charging ports, an advantage of that is stimulating demand for waterproof portable products, such as smartphones and wireless video game controllers. High power transmission is also required for wireless chargers to reduce charging time.
Adopts compatible pin assignments with “TC7761WBG”, which supports maximum 3.5 Watts, allowing replacement without any need to change PCB design.”
Applications and Future Prospects
The TC7763WBG chip is expected to have a wide range of applications, particularly in the realm of portable electronic devices. With the increasing demand for waterproof and dustproof gadgets, the ability to charge devices wirelessly without exposed ports is a significant advantage. This makes the chip ideal for use in smartphones, tablets, and even wearable technology like smartwatches and fitness trackers.
Moreover, the chip’s high power transmission capability is crucial for reducing charging times, which is a key consideration for users who are always on the go. Faster charging times mean less downtime and more convenience, making this chip a valuable addition to any mobile device.
