Introduction

 

This document is a user guide for the 

WLC1115 MP-A11 15-W wireless power transmitter reference solution 

(

REF_WLC_TX15W_C1

)

. This solution consists of the reference board, firmware, and software utility called as 

the Wireless Charging Configuration Utility.  

Infineon’s 

WLC1115 based 15-W wireless power transmitter reference board 

REF_WLC_TX15W_C1

 is a highly 

integrated, Qi compliant transmitter design with an MP-A11 type transmitter coil. The 

REF_WLC_TX15W_C1

 

board works with WPC-certified wireless receivers by taking power from a type-C PD adapter. The input voltage 
will be automatically configured to 9-V, 15-V or 20-V based on load power requirements of receiver and PD 
capability. A two-switch buck regulator topology, powered by PD input, is used to provide the regulated input 
voltage to the full-bridge inverter, driving the resonance tank (resonance capacitor and transmitter coil). 

The WLC1115 can support variable inverter input voltage control and variable WPC operating frequencies 
control for inverter to optimize operation with WPC receivers. For the MP-A11 transmitter coil, variable inverter 
input voltage control is used by the WLC1115. WLC1115 has integrated gate drivers for the buck and inverter 
power supplies necessary for wireless transmitter applications. WLC1115 supports a wide input voltage range 
and offers many programmable features for creating distinct wireless transmitter solutions.

Note: Infineon offers Qi v1.3.2 EPP certified reference solution with several configurable parameters via the 
Wireless Charging Configuration Utility for system-specific enhancements. However, the end product Qi 
certification is the product manufacturer
