Renesas P9418 60 W wireless power receiver IC

Renesas Electronics has introduced a 60 W wireless power receiver, the P9418, to deliver fast wireless charging experiences for smartphones, laptops and notebook devices in a high power-density solution. Based on the company’s WattShare technology, the product is a highly integrated single-chip wireless power transmitter/receiver IC (TRx) that can be configured to transmit or receive an AC power signal through magnetic induction. It also delivers advanced telemetry and charging protocols required for high-power applications.

Other features include: an embedded 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 processor; IOUT current sensing accuracy for enhanced foreign object detection capabilities; MTP non-volatile memory for easy firmware and device function updates; bidirectional communications to support proprietary authentication with encryption; support for I²C 400 kHz standard interface and GPIOs; AND compliance with WPC 1.2.4 and various proprietary charging modes. Users can also combine the wireless charging receiver with Renesas’s power management portfolio, including its USB Type-C power delivery and battery charging solutions, to accelerate the development of their applications.
