Spark Connected, a global leader in developing advanced, safe and innovative wireless power technology, and Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY), are announcing the market release of a 500 W wireless charging solution named Yeti. The ready-to-integrate wireless charging module is intended for the powering and charging of industrial machinery, autonomous mobile robots, automated guided vehicles, light electric
vehicles, e-Mobility and other power-intensive applications.
The Yeti 500W industrial wireless charging module features high power capability,
delivering up to 500 W of power for efficient and fast charging. It also boasts the
industry’s highest efficiency of over 95 per cent. This not only reduces power losses
but also facilitates thermal management, improving overall performance and
durability. For a seamless user experience, the Yeti 500W offers an exceptional
misalignment tolerance of over 40 mm in all directions. As a result, reliable charging
is ensured even if the orientation is not perfectly accurate. In addition, the module is
widely compatible and can charge all common battery types and voltages.
This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, offering
convenience and adaptability. The Yeti 500W incorporates advanced features to
ensure robust and safe operation. These include over-voltage and over-current
protection to protect both the charger and connected equipment from potential
damage or hazards. Furthermore, the Yeti 500W is designed for easy integration into
existing industrial systems, enabling fast time-to-market for companies looking to
expand their charging infrastructure without significant disruption.
“We are excited to partner with Spark Connected and provide differentiated Bluetooth
Low Energy microcontrollers and highly-efficient power devices for their latest Yeti
500W industrial wireless charging module,” said Tony Antonacci, Senior Director
Applications Marketing at Infineon Technologies. “The Yeti represents a step forward in charging power and integration, enabling industries to improve their operations and
move towards an energy-efficient wire-free future.”
“Combining Spark’s disruptive wireless power technology with Infineon’s broad
semiconductor portfolio, we are empowering industries to embrace the full potential
of wireless charging, enabling truly autonomous systems and revolutionizing the way
they operate,” said Ruwanga Dassanayake, COO of Spark Connected. “This
the production-grade module provides unparalleled efficiency and convenience, which
we believe will usher in a new era of innovation and productivity for our customers.”
The Yeti 500W integrates Infineon’s dual-core PSoC™ 63 Bluetooth® Low Energy
MCU for intelligent control, and the company’s CoolGaN™ products for improved
efficiency and reduced EMI. By eliminating the need for physical connectors and
cables, this wireless charging system enables seamless and flexible charging,
enhancing efficiency, productivity, and safety in industrial settings.
