NXQ1TXA6 Evaluation Board

1. Introduction

The ubiquity of mobile phones, increases the requirement of a convenient way to charge

these devices while on the move. Especially the fast risingnumber of smart phones widely

used and relied upon in daily life. Wireless charging is introduced into smart phones and

tablets.

Wireless charging represents the future of public and private charging.

Qi (pronounced as "Chee") is a wireless charging standard developed by Wireless Power

Consortium (www.wirelesspowerconsortium.com) for inductive power.

The Qi system (see Figure 1) comprises a base station or a transmitter (TX) pad and a

mobile device or a compatible receiver (RX), such as a mobile phone. To use the system,

the mobile device is placed on top of the base station pad which charges the device via

electromagnetic induction.

The market demand for the convenience and safety of standard-compliant wireless power

systems continues to grow rapidly.

NXP offers Qi-compliant base station reference designs to set you immediately on your

way to a successful project. NXP supports several types of Qi base stations. This

document describes the application of an A6 type base station using NXQ1TXA6 charging

controller.

NXQ1TXA6 Evaluation Board

2. Scope

This document discusses the design of a WPC Qi A6 type base station based on the NXP

NXQ1TXA6 Evaluation Board. The NXQ1TXA6 Evaluation Board is Qi certified and it

complies with EMI regulation - EN55022 and FCC part 18.

The document is intended to provide engineers with real life practical design applications

and get them started on the right note immediately.

For all topics covered, hints are provided to ensure system-level best performance,

excellent EMC and lowest application cost.

Near Field Communication (NFC) option for tap to power on to enable zero power standby

and Bluetooth pairing is included. There are many other use cases and possibilities with

NFC technology but they are not within the scope of this application note.

3. Getting started

3.1 Package contents

The evaluation kit contains the following items:

•NXP NXQ1TXA6 wireless charger evaluation board containing, see Figure 2:

–NXQ1TXA6 charger controller IC

–NWP2081 half-bridge level shift controller IC

–NX2020 MOSFETs

–NT3H1201 NTAG-I2C NFC forum tag

•AC 110 V/220 V – DC 12 V power supply containing:

–TEA1720B3T HV start-up fly-back controller for ultra-low no-load charger

applications up to 12 W

A mobile device to receive the power is not included in the evaluation package. Refer to

the WPC website for a list of certified Qi receivers to be used with the evaluation board. To

demonstrate NFC tap to power on, ensure that the receivers support both Qi wireless

charging and NFC technology.

3.2 Main features

The NXQ1TXA6 Evaluation Board demonstrates:

•A reference design with key components from NXP for wireless charging applications

based on inductive power transfer standard Qi.

•Shows additional benefits resulting from integration of NFC with wireless charging.

Enabling for example zero power standby with the “tap to power on” feature.

3.3 System efficiency

In Figure 3, the system efficiency of the evaluation board is shown using a standard off the

shelf receiver.

System efficiency is measured as the ratio of output power of the receiver to the input

power of the transmitter. Input power is averaged to take into account variation due to

communication between receiver and transmitter.

The quality of the components used in both the transmitter and the receiver, determine the

efficiency of the system.

3.4 Board overview

The evaluation board is shown in Figure 4. The left-hand side contains the charging area

where the mobile device should be placed. The top right side has the electronics to drive

the charging coil and communicate with the mobile device.

3.5 Stand-by power mode switch

The switch on the top of the board is not a power on/off switch. The switch is for

alternating between the “Normal” and the NFC “tap to power on” position as illustrated in

Figure 5.

In the Normal mode, the charging pad periodically monitors the coil for the presence of a

Qi receiver. It starts power transfer, once a Qi power receiver is detected.

In the NFC tap to power on mode, the charging pad electronics are disconnected from the

12 V supply. The presence of an NFC enabled phone, switches on the 12 V system

supply, enabling zero power in standby mode.

Important:

The present generation of NFC phones only performs periodic NFC operations when the

display of the phone is on and unlocked. It is only under this condition that the charging

pad is woken-up to start power transfer.

3.6 Reset button

Pressing the reset button marked SW101 on the board performs a reset of the charging

pad.

3.7 Foreign object detection button

By pressing the left-most button marked SW102 on the board, the charging pad enables

or disables Foreign Object Detection (FOD). This feature should be removed for final

products.

While charging, the green status LED indicates whether FOD is activated. When FOD is

active, the green LED blinks with a rate of 1 Hz. When FOD is disabled, the green LED

blinks with a rate of 3 Hz.

3.8 Status LED

An overview of the status signaled by the LEDs is given in the following table:

3.9 NFC functionality

The evaluation board provides a passive tag functionality with NT3H1201 NTAG-I2C. The

NTAG-I2C is preprogrammed with a URL link to the NXP website. When most NFC

phones are put on the charger pad while the screen is active, an automatic link to the NXP

website is made.

Other content can be programmed into NTAG IC by using, for example, NXPs TagWriter.
