indie Launches Unparalleled Automotive
Wireless Charging Solution (Graphic: Business Wire)
In-cabin charging has become a necessity for drivers and
passengers who use their smartphone to provide navigation, music,
voice connections and other services on-the-move. The global
semiconductor-enabled in-car automotive wireless charger market is
estimated1 at U.S. $1.3 billion for2022 and is forecasted to grow
to $9.5 billion by 2032, representing a 22% CAGR over this period.
The emerging Qi 2.0 standard featuring the Magnetic Power Profile
(MPP) is particularly relevant to automotive designs, offering
faster, more reliable charging by automatically aligning
smartphones with an inductive charging coil, maintaining the device
in position irrespective of vehicle motion.
“indie’s breakthrough automotive wireless charging solution
speeds device charging times and delivers industry-leading levels
of semiconductor and software integration, reducing the external
bill-of-materials by almost half relative to existing discrete
implementations,” said Fred Jarrar, vice president and general
manager of indie Semiconductor's Power and USB product lines. “This
turn-key architecture dramatically reduces system complexity,
improves overall reliability and de-risks tier 1 time to market. As
a result, indie’s latest SoC will play a pivotal role in enabling
automotive OEMs to deliver faster, cost-effective and more reliable
portable device charging, contributing to an engaging in-cabin user
experience spanning feature-rich cars to entry-level vehicles.”
The iND87200 dual-core design combines an Arm® Cortex® M4F
processor with 2MB of embedded Flash and 256kB of SRAM with a
dedicated Arm Cortex M0 processor for the WPC stack. This approach
frees SoC compute resources to execute user-specific software
without timing and interrupt constraints related to the WPC stack.
Further, indie’s wireless charging solution integrates all of the
necessary power management, DC-DC converter, signal conditioning,
WPC inverter drivers, and power FETs as well as LED and fan
drivers. A wide range of serial interfaces such as CAN 2.0B, LIN,
I2C, and UARTs provide multiple connectivity options to the vehicle
and other peripherals.
Fully qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 2, the iND87200 is production
released and sampling to customers. In addition to the SoC, indie
is also offering advanced application-oriented reference designs to
further accelerate the customer development and deployment
process.
