SoC touts in-cabin Qi2 MPP wireless charging

The iND87204 automotive wireless charging SoC from indie complies with WPC’s Qi v2.0 standard and Magnetic Power Profile (MPP). Certified products with the Qi2 logo employ MPP technology to magnetically align devices and chargers, leading to improved energy efficiency, faster charging, and greater convenience.

indie’s chip integrates two Arm Cortex processor cores for application and WPC stack processing, along with essential components such as in-vehicle serial interfaces, power management, DC/DC conversion, signal conditioning, WPC inverter drivers, power FETs, and peripheral drivers. This comprehensive integration supports a fully Qi2-compliant wireless charging solution that delivers up to 15 W of power.

The dual-core design of the iND87204 features a 32-bit Cortex-M4 processor with 2 Mbytes of embedded flash and 256 kbytes of SRAM, alongside a dedicated Cortex-M0 for the WPC stack. Serial interfaces include CAN 2.0B, LIN, I²C, SPI, and UARTs. The device is AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified, supporting an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

The iND87204 is now sampling to lead customers, with production release in Q4 2024.
