BQ51003: FOD calibration without the AVID reference transmitter

Part Number: BQ51003

We are using the bq51003 and have an issue with coupling to a nearby metal part that is causing thermal issues with the assembly. We would follow the FOD calibration white paper but we're a startup and do not have access to a reference transmitter. Is there an alternate method for calibration?

  • FOD calibration is required for Qi certification. If the AVID has provided FOD calibration and testing in the past, they can possibly calibrate the unit for you at a cost that is less than purchasing the unit.

    Using shielding material to prevent the AC field from entering the metal part is another option. Several manufacturers offer flexible ferrite sheet material.
