Product details
Overview
BQ500410ARGZR from Texas Instruments is a Qi-compliant wireless power transmitter manager IC designed for free-positioning 12-V systems. It integrates digital demodulation, three-coil array control, parasitic metal and foreign object detection (PMOD/FOD), and LED/buzzer status indication. It operates across –40°C to 110°C and delivers up to 5 W output with >70% efficiency in WPC 1.1–compliant charging surfaces.
For engineers reviewing the BQ500410ARGZR datasheet, BQ500410ARGZR pinout, BQ500410ARGZR application, or BQ500410ARGZR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 48-pin VQFN package, 112–205 kHz switching frequency range, dual analog/digital 3.3-V supplies, integrated 12-bit ADC for loss monitoring, and support for programmable FOD/PMOD thresholds via external resistors.
Technical Context
The BQ500410ARGZR implements a closed-loop Qi-compliant power transfer controller using sequential three-coil ping detection and digital demodulation of receiver AM feedback packets. It regulates power by dynamically adjusting switching frequency while maintaining fixed 50% duty cycle.
Its architecture includes an internal 12-bit ADC for real-time monitoring of V_SENSE, I_SENSE, T_SENSE, LOSS_THR, and LED_MODE; dedicated DPWM_A output for half-bridge drive; and dual COMM input pairs (COMM_A±/COMM_B±) supporting robust signal acquisition under misalignment.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar wireless power transmitter controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ500412ARGZR | Same pinout and feature set but supports extended 15-V input range; higher V_IN tolerance (up to 18 V). | Suitable for 15-V automotive or industrial bus systems where BQ500410ARGZR's 12-V limit is insufficient. | Select BQ500412ARGZR when system input exceeds 12 V nominal; otherwise BQ500410ARGZR remains optimal for cost-sensitive 12-V designs. |
| MP-A20 | Standalone Qi transmitter IC with integrated power stage; no external half-bridge required. | Reduces BOM count but lacks programmable PMOD/FOD thresholds and three-coil flexibility of BQ500410ARGZR. | Choose MP-A20 for simplified single-coil designs; retain BQ500410ARGZR when free positioning, thermal safety, or custom coil layouts are critical. |
Compared with BQ500410ARGZR, BQ500412ARGZR extends input voltage capability for higher-bus systems, while MP-A20 trades configurability for integration-making BQ500410ARGZR the preferred choice for flexible, safety-critical multi-coil implementations.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the BQ500410ARGZR in a wireless charging system?
The BQ500410ARGZR serves as the core transmitter manager IC in Qi-compliant wireless power systems. It performs coil selection, digital demodulation of receiver packets, frequency-based power regulation, and real-time safety monitoring including FOD and PMOD. The BQ500410ARGZR does not integrate power MOSFETs-it drives external half-bridge stages via DPWM_A and manages all control logic for WPC 1.1–certified operation.
Does the BQ500410ARGZR support single-coil or only three-coil configurations?
The BQ500410ARGZR natively supports both configurations. Its default operation uses three independent COIL 1.1/1.2/1.3 outputs for free-positioning, but it can be configured for single-coil use by omitting outer coil circuitry. The datasheet explicitly confirms single-coil compatibility and provides guidance for simplifying the layout-making the BQ500410ARGZR adaptable to cost-sensitive or space-constrained designs without sacrificing WPC compliance.
How does the BQ500410ARGZR implement foreign object detection (FOD)?
The BQ500410ARGZR implements FOD by continuously calculating input power (via V_SENSE and I_SENSE), comparing it against receiver-reported power (from demodulated packets), and triggering shutdown if unaccounted loss exceeds the threshold set by the LOSS_THR pin resistor. It supports both WPC 1.0–style PMOD and more accurate WPC 1.1–compliant FOD using Received Power packets-ensuring robust detection of metallic objects even during dynamic charging conditions.
Can the BQ500410ARGZR operate without an external microcontroller?
Yes-the BQ500410ARGZR is fully autonomous. Pins like MSP_RST/LED1 and MSP_MISO/LED2 provide direct LED status indication without requiring an MSP430 or other host MCU. All core functions-including coil ping sequencing, packet decoding, power regulation, and fault response-are handled internally. External microcontrollers are optional for advanced customization but not necessary for basic WPC-compliant operation of the BQ500410ARGZR.
What thermal protection mechanisms does the BQ500410ARGZR include?
The BQ500410ARGZR features a dedicated T_SENSE input (pin 2) with a fixed 1.0-V shutdown threshold. When voltage drops below this level-e.g., due to an NTC-based voltage divider reaching a preset temperature-the device halts power transfer and asserts fault indicators. This hardware-level thermal cutoff operates independently of software or communication, ensuring fail-safe behavior. The BQ500410ARGZR also includes junction temperature monitoring with 110°C max rating and 4.3°C/W thermal resistance to PCB for passive dissipation.
