The Qi v1.3 specifications provide improved foreign object detection and enable optional new functionality such as device authentication. Also implemented is more comprehensive Qi compliance testing, as well as increased automation of compliance testing, which reduce testing time and decrease potential interoperability problems. For more detailed information on this latest version of its Qi specification please view the WPC website.
Vice President of Marketing at Kinetic Technologies, Gianfranco Scherini, says, “We continue to lead the Wireless Power ecosystem with the first wireless receiver to attain Qi v1.3 certification. This is another milestone in Kinetic Technologies’ track record of delivering innovative wireless power solutions when customers need them most.”
The KTE7000 is a single chip 5W wireless power receiver that conforms to WPC/Qi v1.3 Baseline Power Profile (BPP) standards. Fully compatible with all WPC/Qi certified transmitters, the KTE7000 will operate in BPP mode (Baseline Power Profile) when interoperating with either BPP transmitters or EPP (Extended Power Profile) transmitters. The KTE7000 integrates a full-synchronous rectifier with robust voltage surge protection and an LDO to efficiently convert the wireless AC power into 5V DC power at up to 1.5A. Higher power outputs are possible in proprietary modes. An embedded microcontroller with ROM and programmable memory provides power management, protection, and communications with the power transmitter. The KTE7000 is available in a green compliant, 52-bump, 2.66mm x 3.90mm, WLCSP package.
