BQ51003: Tool to monitor communication in Qi system

Leonhard Renk

Part Number: BQ51003

Dear TI support team,

similar to the existing "BQ51050B: Tool to read QI charging communication" thread in this forum, I am looking for a tool to monitor the communication between the transmitter and the receiver in a Qi system.

Unfortunately, it seems like the proposed Qi Sniffer from AVID Technologies is no longer available on the market and I couldn't find any alternative to it. Is there any comparable tool out there with similar functionality?

Thank you and best regards,

Leonhard

Hi Bill,

thank you for your response!

What's your recommendation on how to evaluate the communication packets sent by the receiver? Is there any kind of evaluation board for the transmitter side that has this information available at an output, ideally directly visualized in a GUI?

Best regards,

Leonhard

Hi Leonhard

Some of the transmitter Evaluation boards have a GUI that will provide this information. We do not have transmitters that will support GUI at this time.

Hi Bill,

do you have the part numbers of these evaluation boards available that you are referring to? I couldn't find anything similar during my own research.

Thank you!

Hi Leonhard

Many Transmitters IC Manufactures have GUI to interface with device and read data, couple of them to check on:

Renesas Evaluation Board -- P9235A-RB

ST-Micro -- STWBC86
