Wireless charging: the next enabler

摘要

Power is ubiquitous, and there is no electronic system that can work without electricity. That means that power transmission is as important as power conversion, and it should be considered two sides of the same system. Any inefficiencies or losses in moving the power from Point A to Point B will render moot any advances or efficiencies in power electronics.That's why the right connectors and cables are critical, as they play a direct role in any products safe and effective operation. But what happens when the cables are no longer needed, at least for the "final foot" from the products external power supply to the internal electronics? This is especially important for battery-driven systems, which need to be regularly recharged by plugging it into the wall. Eliminating that charging cable opens up a world of benefits and challenges.
