Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ500212A
Hi all,
Recently I developed a system that uses wireless power transfer to charge a battery. Therefor I'm using the BQ500212A on TX side and the BQ51013B at RX side. Both been proven good.
I originally designed the RX side with a ABRACON AWCCA38R32H09C01B coil. Which works perfectly with the TX reference design kit with the BQ500212A and my own design TX station. Once implemented in our application the distance between TX and RX is a bit critical, lets say charging starts from 4 mm and both enclosures have a wall thickness of 2mm. The is some self adhesive tape between the enclosure and the coils. And in some cases no energy is transferred.
To resolve this problem I though to used another coil wich fits better with the TX coil (WE 760308101103). The one I selected is WE 760308103205, I threw these value's in my calculation sheet to calculate new values for C1 and C2 (in ref with datasheet of the BQ51013B). I replaced those capacitors on my board, did a quick test, and to my surprise the system is not working at all. I looked to RECT with my scope and the induced voltage way above 2,7V. So I was expecting it would start transferring energy.
