Plans for the AirFuel stuff?

Hi, I'm interested in the nRF5 SDK for AirFuel.

I have received a task to replace parts in a product which formerly used wireless charging and the CSR BLE chip.

I think choosing the nRF51 or nRF52 that support AirFuel will do the job and this is the reason why I'm interested in.

The SDK link shows the following message;

"Please contact your local Nordic Semiconductor Sales Manager".

I'm in Korea but before contacting any distributors, I have some questions.

  1. The demos presented on YouTube are remarkable.

Does Nordic provides the schematic and PCB layout about the "charging antenna"?

Are the schematic and PCB layout files included in the SDK?

  1. I have the PCA10040 v1.1.1.

The demo videos showed the "charging antenna", battery module, an adapter board, and an LCD display.

Does Nordic have any plans to sell those add-on products?

I wish to try them with my PCA10040 and I think the SDK will be useless without those products.

-Best Regards

  • Hi Mango,

    glad to hear that you are considering our nRF51 or nRF52 for a wireless charging solution.

    In order to access the nRF5 SDK for AirFuel you must be a member of Airfuel Alliance and document this to our Regional Sales Manager.

    As for the PRU(Power Receiving Unit) demo that we have been showing at several trade fairs, I do not know if we're going to make the hardware files, i.e. schematics and layout available or if we're going to sell the PRU as a demo kit. Please direct these questions to your local RSM. If you do not have the contact information of our RSM in Korea, then send me a PM and I will give you his contact information.

    Best regards

    Bjørn
