NXP Enables Market First for In-Vehicle Multi-Device Wireless Charging Solutions
August 27 2020 - 3:18AM
NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) today announced that the
first multi-device vehicle wireless charging solution driven by a
single MWCT controller is now available in production vehicles. As
the market leader in integrated automotive wireless charging
solutions, NXP has expanded its offerings to the new 15W wireless
power standard, enabling faster charging. The new solution helps
carmakers offer a differentiated in-car experience to their
customers by enabling the passenger and driver to simultaneously
charge wirelessly through one console. The use of a single MWCT
device in the vehicle enables carmakers to benefit from a reduced
cost and physical footprint for device charging. Based the Qi
standard, it supports all Qi enabled phones, including iPhone,
Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi and others.
Smartphones have become the center of the digital lifestyle and
their interoperability with the vehicle, in applications such as
smart car access with NFC, continue to reinforce this role.
Consumers need their phones to be charged on the go in order to
access information, make purchases, maintain contact with friends
and family and tap emergency services when required. Wireless
charging is an elegant solution that gets rid of bulky chargers and
cords and is increasingly in demand.
“Wireless charging enables a cleaner, clutter-free console that
provides convenience and simplicity to consumers. Dual charging is
the next step,” said Denis Cabrol, Sr. Director, NXP. “As the
leader in in-vehicle charging, NXP is pleased to make this
groundbreaking technology available to carmakers who are at the
leading edge of creating experiences for their
customers.”
The new MWCT series is enabled by a NXP’s unique hybrid DSC core
with dedicated peripherals that allow the 2 Qi protocols to run in
parallel in a single MWCT controller. New patented technologies,
such as Clean EMC (CEMC), provide breakthroughs in electromagnetic
compatibility performance, which is required for CISPR 25 Class 5
in 15W systems. These innovations allow OEMs to cut the overall
system bill of materials.
The NXP MWCT controller family provides car makers with a
production-ready solution that is easy to implement through readily
available software and hardware design files. NXP’s leadership and
expertise in delivering high quality in-vehicle charging solutions
offer customers a compelling path to differentiating their
in-vehicle charging offerings.
