5W AutoResonant Wireless 

Power Transmitter

The 

LTC

®

4125

 is a simple and high performance monolithic 

full bridge resonant driver capable of delivering over 5W of 

power wirelessly to a properly tuned receiver. The device 

controls the current flow in a series connected transmit coil 

LC network to create a simple, safe and versatile wireless 

power transmitter.
The LTC4125 automatically adjusts its driving frequency 

to match the LC network resonant frequency. This 

AutoResonant switching allows the device to deliver 

maximum power from a low voltage input supply (3V to 

5.5V) to a tuned receiver. To optimize system efficiency, 

the LTC4125 employs a periodic transmit power search 

and adjusts the transmission power based on the receiver 

load requirements. The device stops delivering power 

during a fault condition, or if a foreign object is detected.
The LTC4125 also includes a programmable maximum 

average input current limit and an NTC input as additional 

means for foreign object and overload protection. The 

LTC4125 is available in a 20-lead low profile (0.75mm)
