 Do you believe an induction up is only capable of heating and that your kitchen appliance require cables? Think no further. SD makes your kitchen go cordless now and I'm going to show you how. Our NFC readers bring connectivity and the new freedom to your kitchen enabling wireless power transfer from a cook spot or a hub hidden below a surface to an appliance. This could be a water kettle or a food processor in your kitchen or a grill on your dining table. Being cordless it means that it's more safe, more flexible and can be fully waterproof. This also means the available space can be used more efficiently and the appliances can be stored away more easily. NFC is used to initially power up the appliance and manage the communication channel. It will request the right amount of power from the inverter stage which can then supply up to 2.2 kW of mains power. Placing the appliance on the induction hub it will be first powered up by NFC. As soon as the appliance is turned on on the NFC channel the inverter power is requested and will supply the mixer in this case with the main power and as you can see it's very flexible you can move around quite a lot and it's still powered without any cord. ST is supporting developers following this new key kitchen standard with a comprehensive hardware and software framework. On the induction hub side we offer the PTX reverence design with our ST25R3916B NFC reader including a power amplifier circuit for auxiliary power. The board is ready to be used following the key kitchen standard and bundled with two in one coil for NFC and power transfer by SCF. On the appliance side for NFC the board includes all required circuitry to establish the NFC communication with the ST25R3918 and harvest 200mW for the initial power up of the appliance. The board is bundled again with the respective antenna. The set is completed with a software package handling the key kitchen compliant communication and protocol for a fast development start. The hardware allows you to transmit and receive the required auxiliary power in all required positions up to the point where the inverter main power is requested. Finally the inverter reverence design connects together with our PTX NFC communication board and will supply up to 2.2kW for the appliance.
