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

AC/DC converters need to provide a defined and safe supply voltage from AC mains, varying from 90 to 264 V AC. Key requirements are efficiency, no-load power consumption and size. A new requirement for wall chargers is communication to the mobile, enabling faster charging by changing voltage or current. Most common AC/DC topologies are flyback and resonant. A flyback converter features lowest cost, but magnetics size becomes larger at higher output power. In that case, resonant converters are preferred, although efficiency is lower at low loads. NXP has invented a resonant concept that overcomes this issue. The presentation will introduce the mentioned AC/DC technologies and NXP’s product advantages.

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.

This session will cover the basics of authentication for anticounterfeit applications. Topics covered include use cases and applications, hardware vs. software, symmetric vs. asymmetric crypto protocols, host and device requirements, attacks and countermeasures, and "beyond the chip" security concerns. An intro to the A1006 and A71 product families will also be provided.

The problem of smartphones running out of battery power too soon during the day is well known and in response new fast charging standards have been introduced, ranging from multi-level output ones like USB Power Delivery and Quick Charge to 5V/multi-Amp proprietary Direct Charging protocols. This drives the demand for AC/DC converters with high efficiency over an adjustable 3-20V range, small size, good load step response and very low no-load power. NXP introduces a complete AC/DC fast charging system covering all these requirements, comprising the TEA1936 fly-back controller, the TEA1993/98 synchronous rectifier and the TEA190x family of protocol controllers that communicate with the device to be charged. The TEA190x family supports all mainstream fast charging protocols, is highly configurable and enhances charger safety by an extensive set of hardware integrated protection features.

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.
