MAX77950
WPC/PMA Dual Mode Wireless Power Receiver
General Description
Benefits and Features
● WPC/PMA Dual Mode Wireless Power Receiver
The MAX77950 is an advanced wireless power receiver
IC that meets the specification requirements for WPC
low-power (v1.2) and PMA SR1 (v2.0) communication
protocols. This device operates using near-field magnetic
induction when coupled with a WPC or PMA transmitter
and provides output power up to 12 watts.
● Compliant with WPC Low Power (v1.2) and PMA
SR1 (v2.0)
● Peer-to-Peer Power Transmission with In-Band ASK
Communications
● WPC ASK Demodulator/FSK Demodulator
The IC has precision output current and voltage-sensing
scheme over the entire load range. It enables accurate
received power packets, as defined in the WPC specifications
for best foreign object detection (FOD). The IC supports
FSK demodulation to receive PMA advertisement ID as
well as WPC FSK packets.
● Output Programmable Range from 3.5V to 12.7V
with 100mV Step
● Integrated High-Efficiency n-Channel Full-Bridge
Synchronous Rectifier
● Programmable Foreign Object Detection
The IC features the patent-pending PeerPower™ function.
In PeerPower mode, the IC operates as a transmitter,
enabling power transfer to another peer device through
in-band ASK communications.
● Programmable Dynamic Rectifier-Voltage Scaling
● Overvoltage, Overcurrent, and Overtemperature
Protection
The MAX77950 communicates with an application pro-
cessor through an I²C serial interface. The status of power
transfer and alerts are read through this interface.
