TIDA-00318: Qi Receiver resonant frequency is strange

Part Number: TIDA-00318
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ51003

Hello,

I built a Qi receiver circuit based on TIDA-00318 and the BQ51003 IC but I am finding the capacitor selection for the receiver coil's LC resonant tank to be strange.

The test report for TIDA-00318 shows a WR222230 27uH coil. The schematic shows that the C1+C2+C3 parallel capacitors are 0.183uF in total.

Using Equation 6 from bq51003 Highly Integrated Wireless Receiver Qi (WPC v1.2) Compliant Power Supply datasheet (Rev. C) (ti.com) and working backwards, it shows that the receiver's series resonant frequency is around 67kHz, which is much less than the expected 100kHz +5/-10% of a Qi circuit. (0.068+0.068+0.047)*10^{-6}= 1/((2pi*F)^2*27.9*1.1*10^{-6)} (symbolab.com)

 

In my design, the receiver coil is also around 27uH. Should I use the equation and recalculate the capacitor values, or should I respect the reference design and use the capacitor values from the reference schematic?

Thank you.

  • Hello

    Recommend tuning your design to 100kHz for best performance.

    If your coil is 27uH then the tuning is about 68nF, C1+C2+C3 parallel value.

    TIDA-00318 was tested with both a larger / lower L coil and smaller higher L coil.  The test report is written around the smaller coil. 

  • Thank you for explaining the discrepancy. If L's is assumed to be around 1.3 x Ls then the tuning is about 68nF as you said.

    If I assume the multiplier to be 1.1 x, then the tuning is about 82 nF. I don't have a bench so it will have to be a guess.
