Unlike competing products that prohibitively restrict customization, Freescale’s new offerings unleash design innovation and enable the rapid development of differentiated wireless charging systems. Flexibility is provided through a programming interface that places maximum control of the end-solution in the product developer’s hands.

Freescale’s customizable automotive solution consists of a Qi-certified transmit controller IC and accompanying reference design. The programming interface allows systems designers to address critical, auto-specific issues such as avoiding key fob and car radio interference. The entry-level device, MWCT1001A, provides a comprehensive and cost-effective multi-coil wireless charging transmit solution, while MWCT1003A is the premium option providing more feature-rich capabilities. Integrating technologies such as Near Field Communication (NFC), multi-standard support, or CAN technology is easy using MWCT1003A, and is showcased on the reference design – WCT-5WTXAUTO. The auto-focused ICs meet AEC-Q100 requirements and support any 5 W coil topology.
