Semtech’s LinkCharge® Platform Integrated in Shanghai Magway Magnetic’s Commercial 22mm Long Distance Smartphone Wireless Charger

The long distance solution to revolutionize the user experience for
smartphone wireless charging

LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CES – Semtech
Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of high performance
analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms,
announced that its LinkCharge® wireless charging platform has been
adopted by Shanghai
Magway Magnetic in its first commercial 22mm long distance
smartphone wireless charger.

“By using Semtech’s LinkCharge technology in our new products, we have
greatly simplified the installation process of sub-surface charging
modules for our customers in the furniture and infrastructure
businesses,” said Justin Fang, CEO of Shanghai Magway Magnetic Co., Ltd.
“Our solution is now a plug and play solution that can be seamlessly
integrated with furniture tops. We envision a future where cables and
power banks are obsolete, and our commercial 22mm long distance
smartphone wireless charging solutions are available everywhere.”

The LinkCharge integrated circuit (IC) chipset can wirelessly charge
major brand smartphones with a gap of 10 to 22mm. It also supports fast
charging modes of major smartphones, which greatly reduces charging
time. The solution features patent pending short distance protection,
which adjusts the transmit power when the receiver is placed closer to
the transmitter. The solution also features smart foreign object
detection (FOD), which is a user safety feature, preventing metal
objects from heating up when placed between the transmitter and
smartphone. These features make the LinkCharge platform an ideal
solution for furniture and public infrastructure applications.

“Semtech provides a highly differentiated solution to the smartphone
wireless charging market. By enabling longer charging distances,
consumers will enjoy the freedom of being able to quickly charge their
mobile phones wherever they go,” said Francois Ricodeau, Sr. Product
Line Manager for Semtech’s Wireless and Sensing Products Group.
