ST STWBCTR

The STWBC is the digital controller for wireless battery charger (WBC) transmitters (TX), offering the most flexible and efficient solution for controlling power transfer to a receiver (RX) in WBC-enabled applications such as phones, wearables, and other battery powered devices that use electromagnetic induction for recharging. As a member of the Qi Wireless Power Consortium and the PMA (Power Matters Alliance), it ensures full compatibility with these leading wireless charging protocols and holds certification for the Qi 1.1.2 A11 standard. The STWBC performs all the functions for transmitter control: thanks to the internal 96 MHz clock and supporting both half-bridge and full bridge topologies, it is able to precisely control the amount of transmitted power to match the requirements of the receiving unit in terms of maximizing the efficiency of the power transfer. The STWBC comes with firmware options to offer customers the ability to personalize their end product without the need of external microcontrollers: A turnkey Qi 1.1.2 A11 certified solution, fully interoperable with Qi enabled mobile phones.
