Multi Mode Receiver Design
To Accelerate Wireless Power Market Adoption
User Case & Technology Limitation ▪ MI - Magnet Induction
• Tightly Coupling • Low Q system (~25@RX) • Coupling Coefficient K : 50~70% • Majority of B field lines must be
captured
MR – Magnet Resonance – Loose Coupling – High Q System (~125 @RX) – Coupling Coefficient K : 6~12 % – Only significant numbers of B field
lines need to be captured – Z height possibility

WPC PMA A4WP
Each Standard Has Benefits
Feature/Benefit Qi PMA A4WP Notes
Market maturity, lowest cost today
++ + Qi & PMA have been in the market for years, Qi has the highest volume
Coil Area (e.g. 5W Phones) X X 2-3X
Power control IB IB BLE IB = In Band, potentially lower cost
Efficiency ++ ++ + Due to tight coupling and frequency choice
EMI sensitivity ++ ++ + Tight coupling minimizes stray EMI
Freedom of placement + + ++ Loose coupling
Interoperability of different size coils / power levels
+ + ++ Loose coupling
Multiple device support No No Yes With a single Tx coil
Distance Charging + + ++ Low = ~ 5mm, High = ~45mm
Charging continuity in presence metals
+ + ++ Sensitivity to metals causes FOD schemes to interrupt or prevent charging
Note : Based on standards Qi 1.1.2, PMA 1.0, A4WP 1.2
Tightly Coupled, low frequency
Loosely coupled, high frequency
The Need of Multi-Mode
Standard – Competition on going, WPC vs AirFuel (A4WP+PMA) – Standard Unification takes time – MM solution get the rid of market confusion
User Experience – User education on standard difference is difficult – An open platform for user to experience the different
technology/standard
Technology – Maturity/Efficiency, MI >> MR – Spatial Freedom, MR >> MI
MM solution will speed up the market adoption !!
Multi-Mode, TX vs RX?
Power Path
WPC/A11/FB WPC/A6/HBx3 PMA/HB A4WP/Class E
▪ If all the RX are MM, then the TX will not need to be MM, and vice versa.
MM TX
MM RX
Is there a TX type approved across the
standard?
