growing at breakneck speed as wireless charging gets closer to becoming a standard rather than a premium feature,” said Arman Naghavi, IDT’s Vice President of Analogue Power Technology. “At IDT, we have been working closely with leading innovators to deliver on the promise of wireless charging, integrating our chips into smartphones, wearables—
even furniture—to make our portable devices easier to charge.” “IHS believes 2015 is proving to be a breakthrough year for wireless power as the number of applications featuring wireless charging increases dramatically,” said David Green, research manager for business information provider IHS. “We estimate 55 million receivers shipped in 2014, and that number will jump to almost 1.1 billion in 2018 and nearly 2.3 billion in 2024. So what we’re seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg.”
chip wireless power receiver that can support PMA, Qi or dual-mode charging. It utilises a high-efficiency low-dropout regulator (LDO)-based architecture to minimise component count. In addition, its optimised control logic minimises power losses to ensure efficient power delivery to the load. The space- and cost-optimised wireless power receivers are ideal for wireless handsets, cell phone sleeves, and tablets.

The Sensors & Instrumentation exhibition taking place at the NEC Birmingham on 30th September to 1st October 2015, promises to be even bigger and better than before. Now in its sixth year and firmly established as the UK's only national sensors event, this year’s show has a number of new features. Highlights include an exhibition of the latest products and technology from over 100 market-leading suppliers. This will provide visitors with the chance to speak to knowledgeable staff about the latest developments and applications, and see new products and existing ranges.
will once again take place over the two days of the show and will include presentations from leading suppliers in the test, measurement and control industry, including National Instruments, HMB, Sensirion and DJB Instruments, to name just a few. This will be backed up by a new series of high-level keynote and case study led conference sessions taking place in a dedicated theatre at the show. Another exciting new addition for 2015 is the ‘Innovation Showcase’. This special display area will provide the perfect opportunity for exhibitors, conference presenters and industry leading companies to demonstrate their latest products and innovations. It will be a key focal point for the industry to demonstrate their latest developments taking place within this technology driven and growing sector. The Innovation Showcase will be
located in a prime position at the front of the show and is expected to be an extremely popular feature with both participants and visitors alike.

Power Integrations has announced its CAPZero-2 ICs, the next generation of its CAPZero line of two-terminal, X capacitor discharge ICs. They feature an expanded X capacitor range from 0.1µF to 6µF, a rating of 1kV breakdown voltage which allows for a transient voltage capability of 6kV and withstand severe line surges and swells. These ICs are smart, high- voltage switches that can significantly reduce no-load and standby input power consumption.
