bqTesla Inductive Charger



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.
