transfer with the 15-W RX.
Figure 11. Start Up
The bq501210 device supports 2-way communication between the receiver and transmitter. All
communication between the TX and RX is initiated by the RX. The TX will respond as appropriate.
shows the activity of the request and response during the startup phase. The TX_COMM (TP13)
is a test point that shows the simplified information sent from the TX to the RX following the WPC v1.2 2-
way communication protocol. See the WPC v1.2 specification for details on the communication protocol.
