I had a few questions on the Tesla before deciding on whether to purchase it. They are the following:
1. What coil frequency is the power transferred from the base station to the mobile device?2. Are there any other non-contact chargers manufactured by TI?3. Can we have in-depth schematics for the transmitter and receiver? And for the ARM-7 processor? 4. Can we have the Software Development Kit (SDK) for the Tesla kit? And also the inductance white paper?5. Who are the major manufacturers involved for making the Tesla kit?
1. What coil frequency is the power transferred from the base station to the mobile device?----See WPC standard at below link, but it is 110kHz to 205kHz.
2. Are there any other non-contact chargers manufactured by TI?----No 3. Can we have in-depth schematics for the transmitter and receiver?---It is part of the user’s guide and on line at the below link. And for the ARM-7 processor? ---you will have to contact ARM-7 support group. 4. Can we have the Software Development Kit (SDK) for the Tesla kit?---No, none is required or provided. And also the inductance white paper?----Inductor requirements are part of the WPC specification see below link. 5. Who are the major manufacturers involved for making the Tesla kit?---TI.
