Overview

Description

The P9030 “Qi” evaluation board serves to demonstrate the features and performance of the 9030 wireless power charging solution for base stations with a TX-A1 coil transmitter. The board has been certified by an independent WPC testing facility for “Qi” compliance. The intuitive top-level layout and control switches simplify the user experience to emphasize the impressive level of integration and abundance of useful features that this device offers.

The device is powered by a 19V DC power adapter, and GUI (graphical user interface) software with a USB Type B cabled dongle board is provided to monitor and control the evaluation board. The evaluation board utilizes an external EEPROM which contains Tx firmware to enable programmability. The external EEPROM memory chip is pre-programmed with a standard start-up program that is automatically loaded when 19V power is applied. The EEPROM can be reprogrammed to suit the needs of your specific application using the 9030 software tool. The MAIN tab of the software tool provides real time plots of coil current, PWM frequency, and duty cycle, including different states of the microcontroller and FOD (foreign object detection). The core layout is a 4-layer Cadence Allegro reference that can be copied and integrated into a larger system design.
