Market Outlook for Wireless Charging Technology Highlights
The application of wireless charging can be roughly divided into 5 segm devices, consumer electronics, electric vehicles, industrial applications, applications. And the industrial applications and consumer electronics a segments.
Applic Mobile Phone, Portable Product & Accessories
The charger can support 1 or more charging devices
More and more peripheral products equipped with wireless charging claim it as the new selling feature
Audio Products
Wireless chargers will be installed anywhere; e.g., in coffee shops, kitchens, airports, cars, etc.
Anywhere, Everywhere
Technology Highlights I 05
ments: mobile , and military are fast-booming
cations Wearable Products ď Ž
Elimination of the charging connector increases the robustness of wearable devices
Electric Vehicles ď Ž
Charging stations are a major concern for electric vehicles. With wireless charging technology, chargers can be implemented under the road to provide for constant power supply
The Vision of Wireless Charging
The vision is to provide electricity anytime, anywhere, without power cable limitations. But keeping the user safe from extensive electromagnetic exposure is a challenge.
Wireless charging could potentially reduce surgery for patients with implanted medical devices.
Technology & Major Alliance Technology Highlights I 07
There are 3 main alliances: WPC, PMA, and A4WP. WPC defines the Qi standard which is the most popularly used in the market. A4WP and PMA announced that they had joined forces in early 2014. The 2 parties plan to launch a dual mode solution against WPC.
Technology Readiness & Limitation
PMA
WPC
Charging in the low freq.<125Khz Commercialized solution Power output 5W Transmission distance 5mm EMC Pass Low cost
A4WP
- No unified test standard - No perfect solutions so far
Charging in the high freq.~13Mhz Product concept stage Power output 60W Transmission distance 1m EMC Fail Expensive
Technology Highlights I 09
Example: Tablet Charging Time Assumption w/ Qi Std.
WPC
RX: a tablet w/ 3200mAh battery and its charging voltage is 4.2V TX: Qi compliant charging IC and w/ 70% charging efficiency: power output is 5Wx 70%= 3.5W So, charging current is 3.5Watt/ 4.2V= 0.8A The charging time of tablet is 3.2Ah/0.8A= 4hr
