The Qi RX Click Board™ is a compact add-on board made for the purpose of wireless power transfer. This board features the PIC16F15313, a general-purpose 8-bit MCU that makes a flexible, low-cost alternative to the wireless charging solutions based on ASICs from Microchip. It represents a simple, low-cost implementation of the Qi 1.1 5W wireless charging standard with the added functionality of a fully-featured Li-Ion charging controller. It can extend product life by reducing mechanical failures from connectors allowing the manufacture of devices truly resistant to water and dust. This Click Board™ is suitable for wireless charging applications, cell phones, tablets, small hand-held devices, embedded electronics, and more.
The Qi RX Click is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This Click Board™ comes as a fully tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket.
Note: The Qi RX Click Board™ needs to be placed near the suitable Qi Transmitter, also known as the charging pad, to successfully harvest the transmitted power.
