Energous Corporation announced new WattUp chipsets with Dialog Semiconductor, that will accelerate availability of WattUp wireless charging to partners and the market as a whole in 2018. In an industry-first, the new chipsets include the critical Beamforming IC, DA1210 and the Power Amplifier (PA) IC, DA3210. Energous has also updated the fully integrated Transmitter IC, DA4100,and the DA2210 to support the 900MHz frequency band, which together complete the WattUp Near Field and the recently FCC-certified power-at-a-distance WattUp Mid Field wireless charging systems. New Integrated Circuit (IC) Solutions: DA4100: Fully Integrated Wireless Charging Transmitter IC: DA4100 is a fully integrated Wireless Charging Transmitter IC, with newly-added support for 900MHz, along with legacy support for 5.8GHz frequency bands, providing the heart of a WattUp Near Field or Mid Field transmitter.

DA3210: Power Amplifier: DA3210 is a 900MHz, high-power, high-efficiency RF Power Amplifier optimized for driving antennas in WattUp Near Field and Mid Field transmitters. Updated Integrated Circuit (IC) Solutions: DA1210: Beamforming IC for Mid Field Transmitters: DA1210 is an 8-channel Mid Field beamforming IC that pairs with a DA4100 transmitter IC, and typically drives four to eight DA3210 Power Amplifiers depending on the range and power requirements of the system. Multiple DA1210s can be added to the system to increase the number of transmit antennas.

The DA2210 is a high-efficiency, 4-channel RF-to-DC rectifier IC that connects to the receive antenna in a WattUp-enabled wireless charging receiver, converting RF power to DC, to power BLE, battery chargers and other circuitry. DA2210 has newly-added support for 900MHz along with legacy support for 5.8GHz frequency bands. The scale number of power amplifiers and antennas is dependent upon the coverage area and power required.

The scale number of DA1210s Beamforming ICs, DA3210 power amplifiers and antennas is dependent on the amount of power to be delivered and the range requirements.
