Product details
Overview
BQ500101DPCT from Texas Instruments is a NexFET™ power stage IC optimized for WPC v1.2-compliant 15-W wireless power transmitters, functioning as a synchronous buck switching stage with integrated high- and low-side MOSFETs, gate drivers, and bootstrap diode. It delivers 98% system efficiency at 5 A, supports up to 10 A continuous / 15 A peak VSW current, and operates at input voltages up to 24 V with PWM-compatible control.
For engineers reviewing the BQ500101DPCT datasheet, BQ500101DPCT pinout, BQ500101DPCT application, or BQ500101DPCT equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal and electrical specifications, real-world efficiency curves, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for wireless power transmitter designs.
Technical Context
The BQ500101DPCT integrates a parametrically tuned control FET and sync FET pair with a high-speed gate driver, enabling operation up to 600 kHz switching frequency and supporting both fixed- and variable-frequency wireless power topologies. Its internal bootstrap switch replaces an external diode, maintaining BOOT–VSW voltage near VDD to minimize conduction loss in the high-side FET.
Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) ensures safe startup and shutdown: device enables only when VDD rises above 4.15 V and disables when VDD falls below 3.7 V, with 0.2 V hysteresis. The tri-state PWM interface accepts 3.3-V/5-V logic levels and includes shoot-through protection to prevent simultaneous FET conduction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Continuous VSW Current | 10 A at VIN = 10 V, VDD = 5 V, fSW = 130 kHz, duty cycle = 50% - defines maximum sustained output capability without thermal derating |
| Peak VSW Current | 15 A - supports transient load demands in Qi-compliant transmitter burst-mode operation |
| System Efficiency | 98% at 5 A - measured under typical WPC 15-W operating conditions, directly reducing thermal load and heatsink requirements |
| Switching Frequency Range | Up to 600 kHz - enables smaller magnetics and faster dynamic response in resonant and buck-based transmitter stages |
| Input Voltage Range | 2 V to 24 V - accommodates wide-input DC rails from battery-backed or regulated supplies in portable and industrial transmitters |
| Thermal Resistance (Junction-to-Board) | 2.5 °C/W - enables direct PCB copper plane cooling, critical for compact wireless charging pads with limited airflow |
| UVLO Thresholds | VDD rising = 4.15 V, falling = 3.7 V - prevents erratic operation during brown-out or soft-start sequences |
Pinout & Package
VSON-CLIP (DPC) package, 8-pin, 3.5 mm × 4.5 mm outline with exposed thermal pad (Pin 9). Designed for low-inductance, high-current PCB routing and optimized thermal transfer via bottom-side copper fill and thermal vias.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | VDD | Gate drive supply input (4.5–5.5 V); requires local 1-µF ceramic bypass to PGND for stable driver operation |
| 3, 9 | PGND | Power ground return path for high-current switching loop; must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane |
| 4 | VSW | Switch node connecting internal FETs to external inductor; carries full AC switching current and high dv/dt |
| 5 | VIN | Main input supply (up to 24 V); requires tight-layout ceramic capacitors (≥6×10 µF total) adjacent to minimize ringing |
| 6 | BOOT_R | Bootstrap capacitor reference; internally connected to VSW - forms low-ESR charge reservoir for high-side FET gate drive |
| 7 | BOOT | Bootstrap capacitor positive terminal; connects to CBOOT (0.1 µF, 16 V X5R) between BOOT and BOOT_R |
| 8 | PWM | Tri-state PWM input (3.3/5-V compatible); logic high drives control FET on/sync FET off, logic low reverses, open/high-Z disables both |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Bootstrap Switch | Replaces external bootstrap diode with low-VF FET, reducing conduction loss and improving reliability over temperature |
| Shoot-Through Protection | Hardware-level dead-time enforcement prevents simultaneous high- and low-side FET conduction, eliminating destructive shoot-through current |
| Ultra-Low Inductance Package | SON-CLIP construction minimizes source inductance (<0.5 nH), enabling clean 10 kV/µs switching edges and reduced EMI |
| System-Optimized PCB Footprint | Pre-characterized land pattern and thermal via layout reduces design iteration time for Qi-compliant 15-W transmitter boards |
| RoHS & Halogen-Free | Lead-free NiPdAu terminal plating and halogen-free molding compound meet global environmental compliance requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar wireless power transmitter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPQ5071GQ-A | Monolithic 12-V/10-A buck converter with integrated inductor; lacks VSW node access and bootstrap flexibility | Best suited for space-constrained, fixed-output DC-DC conversion-not for resonant tank driving or variable-frequency control | Select when board area is primary constraint and Qi compliance is not required |
| LM5113SD | High-speed dual gate driver (no FETs); requires external high- and low-side MOSFETs and bootstrap diode | Offers full layout and FET selection freedom but increases BOM count, layout complexity, and EMI risk | Select when custom FET optimization or >24 V operation is needed beyond BQ500101DPCT's rating |
Compared with MPQ5071GQ-A and LM5113SD, the BQ500101DPCT uniquely combines integrated NexFET silicon, bootstrap switch, and Qi-optimized efficiency curves-enabling faster time-to-prototype for 15-W WPC transmitters without compromising thermal or EMI performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended junction temperature for continuous operation of the BQ500101DPCT?
The BQ500101DPCT is rated for continuous operation up to TJ = 125°C, as confirmed in Section 6.3 Recommended Operating Conditions. Thermal derating begins above this point, and the Safe Operating Area curves in the datasheet (Figure 5–6) are measured at this maximum junction temperature under defined PCB and airflow conditions.
Does the BQ500101DPCT require an external bootstrap diode?
No, the BQ500101DPCT integrates a bootstrap switch (FET) that replaces the traditional external bootstrap diode. As detailed in Section 7.3.3, this internal switch is gated by the DRVL signal and reduces forward voltage drop and leakage, improving efficiency and reliability compared to discrete diode solutions.
Can the BQ500101DPCT be used in non-wireless applications such as standard synchronous buck converters?
Yes, the BQ500101DPCT is explicitly qualified for synchronous buck applications per Section 7.1 Overview. Its 2–24 V input range, 10 A continuous current rating, and tri-state PWM interface make it suitable for general-purpose high-efficiency DC-DC conversion where its thermal and switching performance advantages apply.
What is the minimum PWM on-time specification for reliable operation of the BQ500101DPCT?
The minimum PWM on-time for the BQ500101DPCT is 40 ns, as specified in Section 6.3 Recommended Operating Conditions. This enables stable operation at high switching frequencies (up to 600 kHz) and supports precise duty-cycle control required in burst-mode wireless power regulation.
How does the BQ500101DPCT handle shoot-through prevention?
The BQ500101DPCT implements hardware-level shoot-through protection by enforcing dead time between high- and low-side FET gate signals. This is intrinsic to its gate driver architecture and does not rely on external timing circuits or controller-level delays, ensuring robust prevention even under fast PWM edge transitions.
