Freescale Wireless Charging ICs
WCT-15W1COILTX
Exceptional performance at the lowest cost
Overview
The 15W1COILTX reference design is a 15 watt single-coil transmitter reference design
based on the Freescale MWCT1012 wireless charging IC. The Freescale 15 W single-coil
transmitter focuses on what the market needs most–highest performance at the lowest cost.
The reference design provides the highest efficiency and active charging area available, while
maintaining the most competitive electronic bill of materials (BOM) cost.
The 15W1COILTX reference design is a unique Freescale design, comprising a 12 V DC input
source, full-bridge inverter topology, and frequency control methodology and fully compliant
with the latest Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) 15 W specification. Freescale extends
support to any coil topology which uses a 12 V input source. This reduces the need for
different hardware to support multiple (and future) coil types with similar characteristics.
The reference design uses Freescale’s innovative wireless charging transmit controller IC
to perform digital demodulation on incoming signals from the receiver. This unique feature
provides a major reduction in BOM costs and reduces the PCB footprint.
An additional feature of the solution is a robust foreign object detection (FOD) algorithm. This
feature detects metallic objects, such as aluminum or steel objects which may be present in
the charging environment. Freescale foreign object detection algorithms meet and exceed the
latest standards within industry.

Freescale Technology
The WCT-15W1COILTX reference design is
a complete system solution, containing all
of the hardware and software components
necessary to quickly implement a single-coil
charger solution. Special attention has been
placed on BOM costs in order to deliver a
production-ready design. Freescale provides
all of the necessary hardware documentation:
including schematics, layout and assembly
files, as well as a complete BOM. A firmware
library is provided which contains all of the
necessary wireless charging control blocks.
Access to the library is provided via an API
which lets users interact with parameters
and settings contained in the firmware,
providing maximum control to the engineer.
Customers can choose to use a ready-to-use
binary file provided by Freescale or to take a
more developmental approach and build an
application around the firmware library.
