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.
ADI improves power consumption in latest MEMS accelerometer
The ADXL367, three-axis MEMS accelerometer by Analog Devices (ADI) has improved power consumption – by a factor of two – compared to the earlier ADXL362 device. It also has improved noise performance, by up to 30 per cent.
