Solutions for Varying Power Requirements
Wireless power solutions can energize applications with varying power requirements, from just a few hundred milliwatts to a few kilowatts. Typical power requirements for common applications include:
- A few hundred milliwatts over a large Z distance for applications such as hearing aids and sensors
- 1–5W of charging power for portable applications such as game controllers and portable lighting
- 5–15W for smartphone charging, a major adopter of Qi® wireless charging
- 45–60W for charging laptops, power tools and drones in acceptable amounts of time
- 100–300W for underwater drones, pool lighting and other automotive applications
- Several KW of power for electric vehicles looking to implement wireless power transfer
