Renesas Electronics Corporation, a supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, has announced that its wireless power-charging technology is integrated in the Active ES pen solutions from Wacom.
Renesas’ single-chip, wireless power-receiver IC delivers a small size and high efficiency when compared to alternative high-frequency charging solutions. The charging technology is small enough to fit into digital pen and conveniently charge it while wirelessly docked to the tablet.
Integrating the low-frequency wireless charging into Wacom’s Active ES pens opens up new possibilities. This novel and innovative concept brings the convenience of wireless charging to accessories, enabling users to creatively express themselves on smartphones and tablets.
“Our customers are always looking for streamlined solutions for charging their digital pens, and Renesas provided us with the much-needed support to deliver a premier solution for our consumers with the small size and power efficiency we needed,” said Sayatake Komine, EVP and head of Wacom’s Technology Solution Business Unit.
