4 Market Outlook for Wireless Charging Technology Highlights The application of wireless charging can be roughly divided into 5 segm devices, consumer electronics, electric vehicles, industrial applications, applications. And the industrial applications and consumer electronics a segments. Applic The charger can support 1 or more charging devices Mobile Phone, Portable Product & Accessories More and more peripheral products equipped with wireless charging claim it as the new selling feature Audio Products Wireless chargers will be installed anywhere; e.g., in coffee shops, kitchens, airports, cars, etc. Anywhere, Everywhere

5 Technology Highlights I 05 ents: mobile and military re fast-booming ations Wearable Products Electric Vehicles Elimination of the charging connector increases the robustness of wearable devices Charging stations are a major concern for electric vehicles. With wireless charging technology, chargers can be implemented under the road to provide for constant power supply

6 The Vision of Wireless Charging The vision is to provide electricity anytime, anywhere, without power cable limitations. But keeping the user safe from extensive electromagnetic exposure is a challenge. Wireless charging could potentially reduce surgery for patients with implanted medical devices.

7 Technology & Major Alliance Technology Highlights I 07 There are 3 main alliances: WPC, PMA, and A4WP. WPC defines the Qi standard which is the most popularly used in the market. A4WP and PMA announced that they had joined forces in early The 2 parties plan to launch a dual mode solution against WPC.

8 Technology Readiness & Limitation PMA WPC Charging in the low freq.<125khz Commercialized solution Power output 5W Transmission distance 5mm EMC Pass Low cost A4WP - No unified test standard - No perfect solutions so far Charging in the high freq.~13mhz Product concept stage Power output 60W Transmission distance 1m EMC Fail Expensive

9 Technology Highlights I 09 WPC Example: Tablet Charging Time Assumption w/ Qi Std. RX: a tablet w/ 3200mAh battery and its charging voltage is 4.2V TX: Qi compliant charging IC and w/ 70% charging efficiency: power output is 5Wx 70%= 3.5W So, charging current is 3.5Watt/ 4.2V= 0.8A The charging time of tablet is 3.2Ah/0.8A= 4hr 100% 80% 4hr 5~6hr
