NFC charging transmitter offers high output for small consumer devices
Panthronics has increased system efficiency by 18 per cent in its transmitter design for the PTX130WNFC charging transmitter. It is claimed to be the industry’s highest output power for faster NFC charging. It is based on sine wave architecture to offer simpler antenna matching, a smaller bill of materials (BoM) and high tolerance of antenna misalignment.
Charger IC is wireless power transfer-compatible
A multi-functional, compact charging IC for lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, the XC6810, supports wireless power transfer.
Infineon and pmdtechnologies develop 3D depth-sensing technology for Magic Leap 2
Augmented reality (AR) applications are about to fundamentally change the way we live and work. Later this year, AR pioneer Magic Leap is expected to introduce its newest AR device, the Magic Leap 2. Designed specifically for enterprise use, Magic Leap 2 will be among the most immersive enterprise AR headsets in the market. With industry-leading optics and powerful computing in an ergonomic design, Magic Leap 2 will enable operators to work more efficiently, help companies optimise complex processes, and allow staff to seamlessly collaborate. One of the key features of Magic Leap 2 is the 3D indirect-Time-of-Flight (iToF) depth sensing technology that was co-developed by Infineon and pmdtechnologies.
