of the connector. We manufacture 100% following the
requirements of customers and connector makers,
even when it’s 20 pages to be regarded.”
ElectronAix auto solders a wire range from AWG46 to
AWG32. Mixed assemblies with micro coax, twin coax
and discrete wires are possible but must be checked
case by case. We can process all kind of micro coaxial
connector from 0,25mm to 0,5m pitch.
The production is TS16949 and from I-Pex approved.
Most steps are automated for high reliability and
stability.
Additionally we can make a TDR-test for first articles
or AQL-based to proof the performance of our cables.
ROHMprovidesautomotive-gradewireless
charging solution with NFC communication
ROHM has recently announced the development of an
automotive wireless charging solution with integrated
NFC communication. This solution combines ROHM’s
automotive-grade (AEC-Q100 qualified) wireless
power transmission control IC (BD57121MUF-M) with
STMicroelectronics’ NFC Reader IC (ST25R3914) and
8-bit microcontroller (STM8A series). In addition to
being compliant to WPC’s Qi standard supporting
EPP (Extend Power Profile) that enables the charger
to supply up to 15W of power, the multi-coil design
enables a wide charging area that provides some spatial
freedom in vehicle applications (2.7x greater charging
range vs single coil configurations). This means that
consumers do not need to worry much about exactly
aligning their smartphones to the provided charging
area in order to be able to charge wirelessly.
Wireless charging technology, commonly used in
portable devices such as smartphones to improve the
safety and resistance to water and dust of connectors, is
seeing increased adoption in infrastructure applications
including vehicles, hotels, airports, cafes, and similar
public locations. At present, Qi, the most popular
standard, has already been adopted by the European
Automotive Standards Group (CE4A) as the charging
standard in vehicles, and by 2025 it is predicted that
most cars will be equipped with Qi-based wireless
chargers.
Meanwhile, NFC communication provides user
authentication to allow Bluetooth/WiFi communication
with infotainment system, lock/unlock the doors,
and allow engine start. NFC also enables vehicle
setting customization for multiple drivers such as seat
and mirror positioning, infotainment pre-sets, and
navigation destination pre-sets.
A reference board integrating this solution will be
exhibited at the 11th International Car Electronics
Technology Show at Tokyo Big Sight from January 16-19,
2019. In the future ROHM plans on releasing a sample
reference board that will allow users to easily configure
a wireless charger for automotive use compatible with
the latest Qi standard (EPP), when combined with our
Qi certified receiver board (BD57015GWL-EVK-002)
already on the market,.
ROHM is committed to develop solutions that will
enable greater convenience and performance for the
rapidly expanding wireless charging market.
