To increase the popularity of wireless charging, mid-stage product introduction and component costs will be the key.Huang Jian Zhou, NXP semiconductor Greater China microprocessor and microcontroller product marketing manager, said NXP's current product development goals All are in the pursuit of performance and safety, reliability, the future of wireless charging equipment to the mass market, how to reduce costs will be the biggest technical challenges.
For example, there are many small equipment manufacturers that are interested in charging boards capable of supporting simultaneous charging of multiple devices at the same time. Currently, a number of transmitting coils are built in the device and each group of controllers needs to be configured. In the future, how to use a set of controllers to control three sets of coils at the same time will be the main development direction. We look forward to maintaining the quality and quantity and cost considerations.
In addition to continuing to work with large end customers to develop new technologies, the company will also begin to tap into the relatively inexpensive mass market and look forward to further launching more mid-range products, so Huangjianzhou estimates that compared with the total shipments in 2017, In 2018 the company's wireless-enabled transmitters and receivers will each have more than 100% growth.
Huang Jianzhou further share, NXP in 2018 to 2019 the main promotion focus is to wireless mobile phone charging power pulled up to 7.5W ~ 10W. And, will be committed to pulling the wattage at the same time, both to maintain charging safety, and to avoid Charging coil and NFC, RFID and other sensing card interference.
