Panthronics announces integrated listener for NFC wireless charging cuts board footprint

 

The PTX30W will work in tandem with an NFC poller such as the Panthronics PTX130W in a charging cradle: it harvests power wirelessly without the need for a microcontroller in the listener device. Replacing four discrete components in current designs with a single chip and occupying less than half the board footprint, the PTX30W provides significant space savings and increased design flexibility in products such as fitness trackers, smart watches, earbuds, hearing aids, smart glasses, smart rings, styluses and medical sensors.
