Israeli firm Powermat Technologies has developed a wireless power device for small medical, lifestyle and smart home IoT products.

From fitness trackers and medical sensors to industrial sensors that increase operational efficiency, the PMT 100 can enable higher performance levels and a seamless charging user experience at a price point that supports scale.

The receiver is designed for small form factor IoT devices for wireless power and charging, supporting battery charging functionality and smart battery interfaces. With no receiver microcontroller and few peripheral components, it supports the design and development of smaller, more discreet portable products and reduces overall wireless power implementation costs by up to 50 per cent.

The firm’s smart-inductive technology is based on magnetic induction but allows for a broader scope of capabilities than traditional magnetic induction options. The technology is a hybrid between inductive wireless charging and resonance, producing more power, more freedom of positioning, longer ranges between wireless power transmitters and receivers, and lower implementation costs.

“IoT is unlocking massive business value and stands to revolutionise considerable aspects of our society,” said Powermat CEO Elad Dubzinski. “Whether in the form of small personal health trackers that sense Covid exposure or at-home smart security systems, these devices need reliable wireless power and seamless connectivity to unlock their full functionality. That’s where the Powermat comes in.”

Receiver maximum power output is 40W, maximum voltage 30V and maximum current 2A. The Litz wire or PCB coil has a diameter of 10mm.

Powermat recently announced a $25m series B round led by Hudson Sustainable Group and Foxconn Interconnect Technology.

The company provides Qi-certified and proprietary wireless power technology for IoT, telecoms (5G), automotive, robotics, consumer electronics, medical devices and industrial applications. Companies such as Samsung, General Motors, Flex, Harman, Pivotal Commware, and Kyocera have adopted Powermat wireless power technology. More than 800 million smartphones, 40 million embedded accessories and eight million cars worldwide have Powermat technology inside.
