Apple iPhone 12 adopts the new MagSafe magnetic wireless charging method for wireless charging and supports up to 15W wireless fast charging. This new wireless charging method immediately detonated the third-party wireless charging market, and various styles of magnetic wireless chargers have been come up one after another. But no matter how it is designed, the charging power is only 7.5W at most.

However, the MagSafe magnetic wireless charging module certified by Apple’s MFM (Made for MagSafe) has been mass-produced. Brands such as Belkin, which has long-term cooperation with Apple, have designed various wireless charger products based on this module. Today, the ChargerLAB disassembled the Belkin MFM certified two-in-one wireless charger. This product can charge iPhone 12 and AirPods simultaneously, and the power is 15W and 5W respectively. So let’s take a look at the details of this product.

Summary of Teardown of ChargerLAB

Belkin’s two-in-one wireless charger has a minimalist design. It consists of three parts: the pedestal, the support rod and the wireless charging board designed by the MagSafe magnetic wireless charging module. The vertical structure does not take up too much space on the table. The mobile phone can be charged wirelessly. At the same time, it can be charged no matter how it is placed, so it will be more convenient to watch the drama while charging.

LargerLAB also found that on the bottom PCB board, the headphone wireless charging part adopts the NuVolta Semiconductor NU1509+NU1009A and the MPS MP2315 step-down voltage ship is used to power. Besides, the mobile phone wireless charger is powered by TI TPS54335A step-down voltage chip, and its circuit is also integrated on the board, the chip attached to a thermal pad, the inductance covers the shield, and the details are exquisite. The MagSafe magnetic wireless charging module for mobile phones is a standardized, mass-produced product, and the circuit and the components have not changed.

It is reported that Belkin’s wireless charger’s PCBA design was provided by NuVolta Semiconductor completely. It seems that NuVolt not only provided single-chip solutions, but has expanded to customization and development services.
