Introduction

As the 2023 WPC charging standards receive updates, the Qi wireless charging standard has progressed into the Qi 2.0 era. This advancement introduces the MPP (Magnetic Power Profile) technology, drawing its foundations from Apple's MagSafe magnetic charging innovation. In contrast to BPP and EPP, MPP distinguishes itself by integrating magnetic rings for precise alignment, resulting in swifter charging, heightened efficiency, and amplified user convenience. The primary objective of this standard is to elevate the user experience of wireless charging, fortifying safety and compatibility standards, thereby paving the way for future enhancements.

We previously reported the forthcoming support for Qi2 wireless charging technology across the entire iPhone 15 series. Unexpectedly, December's release of Apple's iOS 17.2 RC version brought about surprising support for Qi2 wireless charging technology across models like the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14. This signifies that a total of 12 models, encompassing the iPhone 13, 14, and 15 series, now embrace the latest Qi2 standard. The MPP module not only replaces traditional MagSafe modules but also reduces wireless charging costs while enhancing user experiences. Its widespread application extends to wireless charging docks, magnetic power banks, car mounts, and others.

Since the Soft-launch certification initiation by WPC in November, WPINNO has diligently pursued various endeavors. These efforts led to the successful completion of Qi2.0 MPP compatibility testing for multiple products, along with seamless charging adaptation for iPhone series products. Additionally, products leveraging the WP8037 module have achieved a flawless 100% compliance test success rate.

WP8037, a wireless charging chip certified with Qi2.0 MPP, integrates a robust 32-bit core alongside peripherals tailored to wireless charging requirements. It is purpose-built for wireless charging, supporting not only the MPP protocol but also displaying compatibility with BPP, EPP, and other proprietary protocols, showcasing its adaptability.

Furthermore, WP8037 integrates a high-resolution full-bridge controller and multi-channel ASK demodulation technology, allowing flexibility in handling various power sources like DC power, USB-PD, HVDCP, among others. This integration provides users with rich IO interfaces, enabling easy control over various peripheral chips.

The MPP module utilizing WP8037 as its primary chip, akin to the Magsafe C222 module, supports input voltages ranging from 5-9V and accommodates three modes, including Apple's 15W, offering a wider spectrum of options and increased flexibility.

WP8037 doesn't just house robust core resources, I2C master/slave functions, and SPI functionality. It also empowers extensive control capabilities, managing an array of devices such as peripherals and other ICs, encompassing boost, buck, and more. This ensures the effective operation of sub-modules within the product. As a certified module product, WP8037 incorporates diverse protection features, encryption mechanisms, and online upgrade functionalities.

With the official certification of Qi2.0, WPINNO has developed a myriad of products and solutions tailored to the wireless charging series for WP8037, facilitating seamless Qi2.0 upgrades and certifications for wireless charging products.
