Charging smartphones without the need to plug in a charging wire increases convenience and enables on-the-move charging in public spaces. First generation wireless chargers consist of over 100 components and are too expensive for mass market adoption. The NXQ1TXH5 is a one-chip Qi low power wireless charging transmitter integrating all the digital, analog and power functions for a Qi wireless charger. The high integration enables a very low component count and an easy to design wireless charger. This also reduces the cost of a wireless charger by as much as a factor 3. The NXQ1TXH5 is a real digital plug & play platform without the need for external analog design effort. A 2-layer PCB with signal & power routing at the top layer and a full copper bottom layer for thermal performance is all you need. Connect power supply and decoupling at the input and an LC circuit at the output to transmit the power to the receiver, and your wireless charger is ready to go! Watch Video Presentation

There are many new technological developments in the medical field that require the use of controlled RF power for several advanced therapeutic treatments. Various levels of RF power at various frequencies are used in procedures such as microwave ablation (tumor destruction), electrosurgery (cut, coagulate, desiccate and fulgurate tissue), diathermy (treatment for rheumatoid arthritis) and thermage (skin rejuvenation). This session will cover innovative RF solutions that NXP has developed for these applications.

This session introduces designers to authentication of USB devices, including use cases such as high power charger authentication over USB PD, and the solutions to threats posed by "Bad USB". Approaches covered will include pros and cons of vendor-specific authentication as well as compliance with emerging standards. Specific implementation examples will be discussed using NXP authentication products within the USB Type-C ecosystem. Watch Video Presentation

Near Field Communications (NFC) is appearing on many new smartphones, and offers secure money transactions (Apple Pay and Google Wallet) and convenient access to public transport or even your hotel room. NXP's NFC receiver is a key component that enables mobile NFC hardware. Today we'll talk about how to get more from your NFC experience by boosting the Smartphone battery voltage, or reducing the NFC antenna size - for more stylish slim phones - while not upsetting other circuits in the phone with unwanted RF noise.

Introduction to QN9020 development board and SDK and design with QN9020 for wearables and IoT devices plus integration NXP BLE features into iOS or Android app.

Healthcare is ripe for disruption. In this class we will outline how NXP IoT products enable a variety of healthcare solutions that will lower patient costs and improve patient outcomes. Watch Video Presentation

If you may risk a dead battery in your Smartphone, table PC, or digital smart watch, or you get tangled up with the wrong charger cord on your nightstand or office desk, the simplicity of a wire-less charger is your dream come true! But wireless chargers need a lot of technology and are not created equal. NXP's family of Transmitter and Receiver components offer solutions for both the Qi and Rezence standards. We take a look at both and offer some practical hardware solutions to cut that cord. Watch Video Presentation

A temperature monitoring solution permits logging of transport conditions of each individual drug package at any point in time. Patients and healthcare professionals can confirm the drug quality at the moment of administration. An easy-to-use solution will be presented that helps meet these critical requirements. It comprises a battery, an antenna and a single chip NHS3100 that integrates a sensor, clock, storage and NFC connectivity. Easy-to-use and intuitive, this solution supports wireless communication with a smart phone. It can be used for temperature monitoring of any perishable goods (like flowers, wine, food, resins, ...) as well.  

About a decade ago, NXP introduced its first generation Near Field Magnetic Induction (NFMI) radio, to help connecting hearing impaired persons with the digital world. Today, besides medical applications, NFMI is also being used in consumer devices to reduce power consumption and not be affected by body tissue absorption. NXP NFMI allows for hearable and wearable devices that can fit inside an ear canal or be worn on the body. Power levels are low enough to run for a week on a single ZnAir battery. Applications include truly wireless earbuds, implantable electronics, body area networks, under water communication devices, and many other low power.

Healthcare devices are adopting more and more technology and NXP is at the center of this trend. Learn about the MCUs, MPUs, sensors, and wireless products that are being used in the most innovative healthcare products. Watch Video Presentation

FIDO Alliance is getting huge traction in the secure authentication world and the member count has surpassed 250 companies. Secure Element based FIDO U2F Authenticators add another security layer to consumer online authentication for cloud services and have been deployed for services like Google, Dropbox, Github, and others. These Authenticators are available in various form factors (Cards, USB keys, Fobs, Wearables and embedded) and support multiple interfaces like USB, NFC and BLE to connect users to critical online services using the FIDO authentication protocol. In addition to FIDO credentials, NXP provides vSE based multi-credential (PKCS#15, EAC, BAC, SAC, Mifare, PIV ) as well as an online services platform including eDoc derived mobile credential management connecting relying parties to enable secure mobile authentication for eGov services.

The RF content of connected devices has been increasing dramatically the last couple of years. The increasing bandwidth demand has driven the requirements of the RF chain to higher levels. The RF MMICs from NXP Smart Antenna Solutions give designers of connected devices freedom of antenna placement while achieving higher performance. This class will show the increasing requirements and complexity and NXPs answer to this challenge. Watch Video Presentation

Resonant AC/DC supplies have superior efficiency at high power output. The TEA1916 is a digital controller simplifying the complexity of resonant LLC designs and providing easy tuning. It succeeds the very popular TEA1716 used in many resonant Switch Mode Power Supplies for e.g. PC's & TV's, but the TEA1916 is actually very suitable for any power supply > 75W, e.g. medical, industrial and server power supplies. The TEA1916 uses a new digital cycle-by-cycle architecture (Vcap control) to enable a new type of operation at low power loads. This increases the efficiency at low output power, using an accurately controlled burst mode operation. The TEA1916 also achieves very low power consumption in standby or off state; a key performance parameter to differentiate from competition. To obtain the highest efficiency the TEA1916 works excellent together with NXP's TEA1995 Synchronous Rectifier.

The new USB TYPE-C and PD specification has brought the new possibilities on power implementation through USB port, that will give the end customer a very different experience. At the same time, the new specification has raised the requirements on the power components with higher voltage and higher current. Also the ability to swap current source and change output voltage makes the power structure design even more complex. In order to distribute power in a reliable way on TYPE-C port, NXP has developed a set of Power switches for it. Watch Video Presentation

For drug delivery to be effective, two very important conditions need to be met. First, drug quality needs to be ensured until the time of administration to the patient. Second, the patient needs to adhere to the prescribed therapy. Two easy-to-use solutions will be presented. They comprise a battery, an antenna and a single chip that integrates a sensor, storage and NFC connectivity. Both solutions support wireless communication with a smart phone. A temperature monitoring solution permits logging of transport conditions of each individual drug package at any point in time. Patients and healthcare professionals can confirm the drug quality at the moment of administration. A therapy adherence monitoring solution for drug blisters and bottles records medication intake events. In case the intake deviates from prescription, patients can be reminded and motivated to do better.
