On January 31, Infineon announced that NuCurrent, a global authority in wireless power systems, will become an Infineon Preferred Partner. The two companies will work together to improve the performance and scalability of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology for energy harvesting and charging applications. Infineon's NFC tag-side controller, which integrates a half-bridge driver IC and energy harvesting module, provides a single-chip solution for developing cost-effective, miniaturized actuation terminals or sensing applications that can operate in passive or active mode. The partnership will combine NuCurrent's overall wireless power system technology and design capabilities to help OEMs expand their markets.
NFC wireless energy harvesting and charging is disruptive technology from a variety of perspectives, including product design, environmental sustainability, and user experience," said Jacob Babcock, NuCurrent CEO. Today, billions of devices have NFC capabilities built into them, and NFC's own energy harvesting capabilities continue to improve, enabling product developers to implement new features. We are very pleased to be working with Infineon to drive this forward." Doris Keitel-Schulz, vice president of Infineon Technologies' contactless power and sensing business, said, "Infineon and NuCurrent are complementing each other's strengths in a partnership to create new solutions through contactless energy transfer technology that will free applications such as door locks and sensors from the constraints of batteries. We will provide a reliable, easy-to-maintain and safe alternative to batteries, which will significantly reduce e-waste. Our energy harvesting technology can be charged using cell phones through NFC capability, which drives the digitization of passive fields and connects them to the cell phone ecosystem." Infineon's joint solution with NuCurrent will make a difference in many applications, especially door locks used in industrial, office and hospital environments. The solution offers increased convenience and flexibility as well as a better user experience, while reducing the cost of key management in residential and commercial properties. The partnership also enables new sensor applications where batteries are not required and NFC energy harvesting technology can be used to power the sensors. A smart door lock with energy harvesting capabilities was also showcased at the recent CES.
