NuCurrent has introduced the NuEva HF Development Platform which provides innovative options for product developers interested in wireless charging. The platform is based on inductive resonant power transfer that brings new functionality and benefits compared to RF-based methods and inductive-based charging methods like Qi.
"There are a great number of product categories that aren't well-served by RF and inductive charging," said CEO, Jacob Babcock. "NuEva HF delivers power levels about 1,000X higher than RF and it provides positioning flexibility about 100X that of Qi, plus it offers the ability to charge multiple devices simultaneously. So, for the first time, manufacturers are finding an option that meets the needs for their products."
The NuEva HF platform operates at 6.78 MHz, the same frequency as the standard developed by the AirFuel Alliance.
This high-frequency method of power transfer delivers:
- Multi-device charging from a single transmitter.
- Greater spatial freedom and positioning flexibility.
- High system efficiencies and uniform charging zones.
- Power levels up to 300W.
"NuEva HF represents a generational leap forward for inductive resonant power transfer," said Babcock. "From gaming and robotics to personal transportation and medical devices, product developers are now discovering a proven path to wireless power with NuCurrent."
NuEva HF offers several patented and proprietary technologies developed by NuCurrent including:
- Surface "repeater" technology that extends charging surface areas using low-cost passive electronics driven from a single power source.
- Multi-layer, multi-turn (MLMT) antennas that increase efficiencies and lower thermals.
- Methods for cost-effective EMI mitigation.
- In-band communications for reduced cost system (compared to Bluetooth).
- Options for power transfer through a variety of materials (metal, tissue).
