Qi Overview
The continual surge of wireless products into the market has created both convenience and a tangle of charging cables and connectors. While we love the freedom of wireless technologies, we are still tied to ugly charging wires. To make matters worse, we usually have a specific charging requirement for every wireless device that we use, creating a drawer full of cables, transformers, adapters, and connectors.
Qi technology is improving the wireless charging method by removing the cables. The fact is that power transfer can be accomplished over short distances without wires. The Wireless Power Consortium consists of independent companies that set international standards for interoperable wireless charging. The main idea is that wireless products designed with Qi-compliant parts will charge on other Qi charging stations, regardless of manufacturer, model, or country, thereby giving end users the confidence to purchase products bearing the Qi logo. In addition, it provides design engineers with an accepted set of interface specifications, freeing them to concentrate on product differentiation and competition.
How it works
Short distance power transmission is usually based on the principle of magnetic induction. Needed are two coils, a transmitter coil and a receiver coil. An alternating current in the transmitter coil generates a magnetic field which induces a voltage in the receiver coil. This voltage can be used to power a mobile device or charge a battery.
The coupling is determined by the distance between the inductors (z) and the relative size (D2 /D). The coupling is further determined by the shape of the coils and the angle between them (not shown).
Total energy consumption
Plugged-in battery chargers are typically left plugged-in continuously, thereby making standby power consumption significant. With the assumption that wireless battery chargers will also be left plugged-in, Qi has continually minimized standby power consumption. Wireless charging efficiency can be as high as 70% and possibly higher if high quality components are used. A wireless power transmitter can be more or less efficient than the wired chargers it replaces, depending on the number of wired chargers that are being replaced, the type of chargers, and the habits of the owner.
The efficiency of the power transfer depends on the coupling (k) between the inductors and their quality (Q). The losses can be expressed as:
and graphically shown as:
Electromagnetic Fields and Shielding
WPC Qi products use electromagnetic waves within the marked non-ionizing area of the electromagnetic spectrum. Non-ionizing means that the energy of those waves is too low to ionize human tissues.

Wurth Electronics Wireless Power Charging Coils
The only manufacturer with both
a Qi transmit coil and a Qi receive coil on the market!
Wurth Electronics Qi standard compliant Wireless Power Charging Coils
allow power to be transferred wirelessly through inductive coupling at a short range (typically a few millimeters). In a Qi wireless charging system, a transmit coil and receive coil are inductively coupled, meaning the AC current in the transmit coil generates a magnetic field which induces a voltage in the receive coil to power a device. The magnetic field is highly concentrated between the coils so that users are only exposed to a small leakage field, which is further minimized by an EMI shield on the back of the coil. The coils are winded with high quality litz wire (instead of bifilar) that results in outstanding performance with the lowest DCRs and highest Q values. When used together, the transmit coil and receiver coil achieve an efficiency of up to 75%.
NEW! Wurth has added additional options to the Qi wireless power charging coil (WPC) product line.
