Semtech Announces Availability Of Wireless Power Evaluation Kits For Wearable Applications
Semtech Corporation, a supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, has announced it is shipping two new, compatible evaluation modules (EVMs) for prototyping and developing wireless charging solutions for wearable applications.
The Semtech TSWITX-G4-EVM is an evaluation platform for the test and experimentation of a wireless charging transmitter based on the Semtech TS80002 Wireless Power Transmitter Controller and TS51231 Driver. This evaluation module, in conjunction with its compatible receiver, the TSWIRX-5V2-EVM, provides a complete system design solution for low-power, wearable applications.
"Easy-to-use wireless charging technology enhances the benefits and consumer experience of wearable devices," said Ruwanga Dassanayake, Product Line Manager for Wireless Power Products for Semtech's Power and High Reliability Product group. "By introducing this compatible set of EVMs, companies can now evaluate our wireless power products, which feature leading power scalability, design flexibility, and can easily test and develop customized wearable applications in very small form factors."
The TSWITX-G4-EVM Evaluation Module is a ready-to-use demonstration platform allowing testing of 1.25 watt of wireless power transmission. The transmitter is coupled with its compatible receiver module, the Semtech TSWIRX-5V2-EVM, to form a complete wireless power transmission system.
TSWIRX-5V2-EVM is a ready-to-use demonstration platform supporting 5V output with up to 250mA for low-power and small form factor wearable applications at an operating frequency of 1MHz.
Applications: Smart watches, fitness bands and jewellery, hearing aids, health monitors, wireless portable keyboards, toys.
