The bq500215 device is a wireless power transmitter controller designed for 5-W WPC compliant applications as well as up to 10-W applications (in combination with the bq51025 wireless receiver). It integrates all functions required to control wireless power transfer to a WPC v1.2 compliant receiver. Several tools are available for the design of the system. See the product folder on www.ti.com for more details. The following sections highlight some of the system design considerations.
Figure 8 shows the application block diagram for the transmitter.
DESIGN PARAMETER | VALUE |

WPC coil type | A29 |
Input voltage | 12 V |
Capacitor selection is critical to proper system operation. The total capacitance value of 2 × 100 nF + 47 nF is required in the resonant tank. This is the WPC system compatibility requirement, not a guideline.
NOTE
A total capacitance value of 2 × 100 nF + 47 nF (C0G dielectric type, 100-V rating) is required in the resonant tank to achieve the correct resonance frequency.
The capacitors chosen must be rated for at least 100 V and must be of a high-quality C0G dielectric (sometimes also called NP0). These are typically available in a 5% tolerance, which is adequate. TI does not recommend the use of X7R types or below if WPC compliance is required because critical WPC Certification Testing, such as the minimum modulation or guaranteed power test, might fail.
The designer can combine capacitors to achieve the desired capacitance value. Various combinations can work depending on market availability. All capacitors must be of C0G types (not mixed with any other dielectric types).
The bq500215 is WPC v1.2 ready. To enable the PMOD or FOD features, provide current monitoring in the design.
For proper scaling of the current monitor signal, the current sense resistor should be 20 mΩ and the current shunt amplifier should have a gain of 50, such as the INA199A1. For FOD accuracy, the current sense resistor must be a quality component with 0.5% tolerance, at least 1/4-W rating, and a temperature stability of ±200 PPM. Proper current sensing techniques in the application hardware should also be observed.
All unused pins can be left open unless otherwise indicated. Refer to the table in Pin Configuration and Functions. To improve PCB layout, ground unused pins, if it is an option.
The bq500215 requires 3.3 VDC to operate. A buck converter is used to step down from the supply voltage, such as the TPS54231D used in this design.
The design works with 12-V input voltage. A29 TX type requires 12-V system voltage.
bq500215 can directly drive three LED outputs (pin 12 (LED-A), pin 13 (LED-B), and pin 25 (LED-C)). Select one of the desired LED indication schemes by choosing the selection resistor connected between pin 61 (LED_MODE) and GND.
