Test Setup
6.1
Equipment
6.1.1
bqTESLA™ Receiver
Use the bq51013BEVM-764 or a Qi-compliant receiver to work with this EVM.
6.1.2
Voltage Source
The input voltage source must provide a regulated DC voltage of 12 V and deliver at least 1-A continuous
load current; current limit must be set to 2 A.
CAUTION
To help assure safety and integrity of the system and minimize risk of electrical
shock hazard, always use a power supply providing suitable isolation and
supplemental insulation (double insulated). Compliance to IEC 61010-1, Safety
Requirements
for
Electrical
Equipment
for
Measurement,
Control
and
Laboratory Use, Part 1, General Requirements, or its equivalent is strongly
suggested, including any required regional regulatory compliance certification
approvals. Always select a power source that is suitably rated for use with this
EVM as referenced in this user manual.
External Power Supply Requirements:
Nom Voltage: 12.0 VDC
Max Current: 2.0 A
Efficiency Level V
External Power Supply Regulatory Compliance Certifications: Recommend
selection and use of an external a power supply which meets TI’s required
minimum electrical ratings in addition to complying with applicable regional
product regulatory and safety certification requirements such as (by example)
UL, CSA, VDE, CCC, PSE, and so forth.
6.1.3
Meters
Monitor the output voltage at the bq51013BEVM-764 test point TP7 with a voltmeter. Monitor the input
current into the load with an appropriate ammeter. The transmitter input current and voltage can be
monitored, but the meter must use the averaging function for reducing error, due to communications
packets.
6.1.4
Loads
A single load is required at 5 V with a maximum current of 1 A. The load can be resistive or electronic.
6.1.5
Oscilloscope
Use a dual-channel oscilloscope with appropriate probes to observe the COMM_DRV signal at
bq51013BEVM-764 TP3 and other signals.
6.1.6
Recommended Wire Gauge
For proper operation, use 22-AWG wire when connecting the EVM to the input supply and the
bq51013BEVM-764 to the load.
