The Power of Qi

How to get a Qi-certified product?

Product must fulfill the requirements of Qi low power

specification downloadable from

http://www.wirelesspowerconsortium.com

Part1: Interface definition (public)

Part2: Performance Requirements (for members only)

Part3: Compliance testing (for members only)

Product must be certified – Qi authorized

test labs are:

• TÜV Rheinland, Korea

• TÜV Rheinland, Taiwan

• CETECOM, Germany

• DLS electronic systems, USA

Product certification is available only to members of

the WPC.

Coil specific considerations



The penetration depth δ can be described with

the following formula:

ρ specific resistance

ω angular frequency

µ sheared effective permeability (e.g.: 100)

Proximity Effect

The proximity effect causes current constriction or current displacement in

closely spaced conductors.

Coupling factor / alignment tolerances

Good coupling and maximum energy transmission depends on

size of the effective area of the receiver coil in the magnetic field

the distance in the z direction

A coupling factor of 1 is ideal



Improvement using ferromagnetic shielding
