Qi certified wireless power solutions from 1W up to 100W

Our advanced wireless battery charging solutions currently feature in mid- to high-power applications such as fast charging smartphones, wearables, hearables, medical applications, and industrial tools.

Our solutions are optimized for different applications and are compliant with Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) Qi and other major wireless charging standards.

ST wireless power solutions enable faster high-power charging and better user experience. Critical safety features ensure protection for the end user, while breakthrough innovations like ARC mode help our customers build excellent market solutions involving wireless power.

 

 

The innovative ST Super Charge (STSC) protocol enables fast charging up to 100 W.

 

Key features

  • Qi Wireless Charging
    • Qi standard compliance ensures a consistent, safe, and simple user experience with other Qi certified products
  • Foreign Object Detection (FOD)
    • FOD provides detection accuracy and helps avoid overheating during charging
  • Spatial Freedom
    • Proprietary adaptive rectifier configuration (ARC) mode enhances the detection distance by up to 50% in all directions
  • Fast Charging
    • Extended power profile (EPP) speeds up charging time by up to three times
  • High Efficiency
    • Excellent energy efficiency with built-in power management
       
  • Protection Features
    • Protections include on-chip thermal management, and overvoltage and overcurrent protection to prevent overheating
  • Reverse Charging Mode
    • Receivers can operate as a wireless transmitter without any change in hardware design
  • Sustainable Solution
    • Charging sockets take space and allow water and dust to enter devices; eliminating them therefore extends product life
  • Reduced BOM Count
    • Simplifying wireless power transmitter systems with less discrete components.
  • Communication interfaces
    • Inbuilt I²C, UART, SPI, and GPIO interfaces simplify parameter configuration.
