Wireless charging has been a technology that we can only dream about, but now it’s getting closer than we can imagine. We’ve seen demos of wireless charging and inductive charging, there are even actual products being sold right now. But wireless charging is about to go mass.

Texas Instruments just unveiled its next-generation, Qi-compliant wireless power receiver chip today, which is a full eighty percent smaller than its previous chip. That promises to make it far easier for manufacturers to implement in everything from cellphones to game consoles to digital cameras, and that small size apparently comes without any compromises, with it providing 5W of output power and a 93-percent peak efficiency that’s comparable to an AC adapter.

Unfortunately, there’s no hint as to when we might see any actual devices that use the chip, but it shouldn’t be too long, since the complete bq51013 wireless power package is now already available for just $3.50 in quantities of 1,000.
