IDT Joins the Alliance for Wireless Power to Assist in Propagation of Innovative Wireless Power Solutions

Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®) (NASDAQ: IDTI), the Analog and Digital Company™ delivering essential mixed-signal semiconductor solutions, today announced that it has become a member of the Alliance for Wireless Power (A4WP), an independently operated organization composed of global wireless power and technology industry leaders. The A4WP will focus on a new wireless power transfer technology that provides spatial freedom for charging of electrical devices in cars, on table tops and for multiple devices simultaneously.

“We are excited to join the A4WP and to help steer the direction of a new technology standard,” said Arman Naghavi, vice president and general manager of the Analog and Power Division at IDT. “With IDT’s experience in developing the award-winning, highly integrated IDTP9030 and IDTP9020 wireless power transmitter and receiver chipset, we look forward to meeting the challenges of next-generation wireless power transfer technologies.”

“We are pleased to welcome IDT as a member of the Alliance for Wireless Power,” said Dr. Kamil A. Grajski, president of the A4WP. “Mobile consumer electronics devices, including smartphones and tablets, are more power-hungry than ever. Wireless power incorporating spatial freedom promotes flexible ease-of-use in charging these devices at home, in the office and on the go. IDT is a key addition to the growing list of global leaders in this new wireless power ecosystem.”

The goals of the A4WP are to establish an industry standardization body to provide innovative methods of supplying charging technology based on spatial freedom to a broad base of consumer electronic devices, and to grow the use of cable-free-power technology worldwide. IDT has become a leading innovator in wireless power ICs, having recently announced the world’s first true single-chip wireless power transmitter solution.

Biasi Develops ActivA Unique Boiler Range Biasi UK has developed ActivA, a new range of high efficiency A rated condensing boilers boasting a unique heat exchanger. The launch of ActivA is further testimony to the company's commitment to strengthen its position in the UK domestic gas boiler market. At the heart of ActivA is a newly developed pre-mix condensing heat exchanger that is manufactured in a corrosion resistant, pressure moulded aluminium. Its sectional construction means it can be easily adjusted for different boiler outputs and its 'multipass' design ensures very low resistance for both combustion and water passage. This unique heat exchanger carries a five year guarantee. Designed to provide outstanding heating performance at an affordable price for almost all types of domestic properties, the compact range boasts some of the smallest boilers available - at just 700mm high x 400 wide and only 290mm deep - thereby allowing installation in cupboards.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as
