The wireless inductive charging, which is designed for the wireless devices, has become a trend recently. It has existed in the market for several years. With this new technique, users do not need to plug the cell phone in cigarette lighter, 12V charger or USB port. Many manufacturers are trying to provide the solutions. The systems can not be used by each other in some circumstance; however, this situation is changing gradually.

In January of this year, CM and powermat have declared that they will invest five thousand US dollars on the plan. The capital comes from the subsidiary company of CM. This investment may make the conductive charger be applied in many future vehicle types, such as Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, Cadillac and so on. The technique of Powermat allows some electronics device, such as the smart phone, MP3 player and gaming consoles to charge without inserting in the port. Powermat has begun to sell the wireless charger which is only provided to individuals. In many circumstances, the outer covering of a small receiver should be attached with the phone. The receiver allows the cell phone to communicate with power mat. The battery is charged by induction, and it does not need the electric wire. Although the Chevrolet Volt will be one of the automobiles that apply this technique earliest, only the wide application can bring the real revolution to the automotive charging.

Audi had the creation of wireless charge early in 2010 at the SEMA exhibition, and it has displayed a new product with Qualcomm and Peiker. This new product can charge the smart phone, PDA and other devices without electric wire. Audi will sell this wireless charge solution by the accessory form. Meanwhile, the Electronics Research Laboratory, which is located in Silicon Valley, America, is studying an automotive central control board. This board is able to charge to the smart phone, which is similar with the power mat. This project which is taken by cooperating with Qualcomm and it is possible to use the magnetic near field resonance to drive the illumination system. The related integrated circuit is 2SA2016.
