- Industrial : Sensors and monitoring equipment in harsh environments where physical connectors may fail
### Practical Advantages and Limitations
Advantages:
- High Integration : Combines rectifier, voltage regulation, and communication control in single package (0.4mm pitch DSBGA-36)
- Efficiency : Up to 85% end-to-end efficiency with optimized power stage design
- Foreign Object Detection : Integrated FOD capability prevents hazardous heating of metallic objects
- Small Form Factor : 3.15mm × 3.74mm package enables compact designs
- Thermal Protection : Comprehensive thermal shutdown and monitoring
Limitations:
- Power Constraint : Limited to 5W maximum output (compatible with WPC 1.1 specification)
- Alignment Sensitivity : Requires precise coil alignment for optimal performance
- Distance Restriction : Effective charging typically limited to <5mm coil separation
- Cost Consideration : Higher BOM cost compared to wired charging solutions
## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Pitfall 1: Inadequate Thermal Management
- Issue : Overheating during maximum power transfer
- Solution : Implement proper thermal vias, copper pours, and consider external thermal interface materials
Pitfall 2: Poor Coil Selection and Placement
- Issue : Reduced efficiency and charging reliability
- Solution : Use WPC-compliant coils, maintain recommended distance (0.5-3mm from IC), and avoid metallic interference
Pitfall 3: Incorrect FOD Calibration
- Issue : False triggering or failure to detect foreign objects
- Solution : Precisely calibrate FOD resistors according to system loss characteristics
### Compatibility Issues
Transmitter Compatibility:
- Requires Qi-compliant transmitters (WPC 1.1 or later)
- May experience interoperability issues with non-compliant or proprietary systems
Battery Management:
- Compatible with single-cell Li-ion/Li-polymer batteries (2.5V-5.5V input range)
- Requires external battery charger IC for complete charging solution
System Integration:
- I²C interface compatibility with host processors
- 5V output may require additional regulation for specific system components
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Stage Layout:
- Place decoupling capacitors (C1, C2) within 1mm of VCC and VSS pins
- Use wide traces for power paths (minimum 20mil width)
- Implement ground plane beneath IC with multiple vias
Coil Interface:
- Route AC input traces (AC1, AC2) symmetrically with equal length
- Maintain clearance from digital signals and sensitive analog circuits
- Use guard rings around high-frequency signals
Thermal Management:
- Utilize thermal pad connection to PCB
