Product details
Overview
BQ500511RHAT from Texas Instruments is a Qi-compliant wireless power transmitter controller IC designed for WPC v1.2 A11 transmitters. It delivers up to 5 W output, supports Dynamic Power Limiting™ (DPL), achieves >75% system efficiency with bq50002 analog front end, and operates within 110–205 kHz frequency range for precise power regulation in compact 5-V charging pads.
For engineers reviewing the BQ500511RHAT datasheet, BQ500511RHAT pinout, BQ500511RHAT application, or BQ500511RHAT equivalent, key selection considerations include its 40-pin VQFN package, integrated FOD calibration via FOD_THR/FOD_CAL pins, I²C interface (SCL/SDA), three LED status outputs (LED_A/LED_B/LED_C), and thermal shutdown support via TSENSE input - all critical for robust, certified wireless charger design.
Technical Context
The BQ500511RHAT implements closed-loop power control by adjusting operating frequency (110–205 kHz) while maintaining fixed 50% duty cycle, per WPC v1.2 A11 specification. It interfaces exclusively with the bq50002 analog front end via dedicated signals: CLK_IN, COMM1/COMM2, MODE, PWM_CTRL, PWM1/CLK_OUT, and PWM2/UP_DOWN.
Its Foreign Object Detection (FOD) algorithm continuously estimates unaccounted power loss using ISENSE, VPEAK, and receiver-reported power data, triggering shutdown if loss exceeds threshold set by FOD_THR (0–2.5 V → 0–1000 mW). Thermal safety is enforced via TSENSE input with 1-V shutdown threshold, supporting NTC-based overtemperature protection.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ51013BRHAR | Single-chip 5-W transmitter IC with integrated analog front end; no external bq50002 required | Reduces BOM count but lacks pin-level FOD calibration flexibility and independent LED mode selection | Select when minimizing component count is prioritized over fine-grained FOD tuning or multi-LED status schemes |
| MP-A21 | WPC v1.2-compliant transmitter controller with 32-pin QFN; supports up to 5 W but uses different FOD architecture (voltage-based vs. loss-estimation) | Requires redesign of FOD calibration network and lacks DPL functionality | Select only for legacy MP-A21 platform migration; not drop-in due to differing pinout, control interface, and FOD methodology |
Compared with BQ500511RHAT, BQ51013BRHAR integrates the analog front end for lower BOM cost but sacrifices configurability, while MP-A21 offers alternate WPC compliance with incompatible FOD implementation and no DPL - making BQ500511RHAT optimal for designs requiring tunable safety, USB-supply resilience, and flexible visual feedback.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the BQ500511RHAT in a wireless power system?
The BQ500511RHAT serves as the digital controller in a two-chip wireless power transmitter solution, coordinating with the bq50002 analog front end to manage ping detection, receiver communication, frequency-based power regulation (110–205 kHz), Foreign Object Detection, and safety shutdown. It does not drive power stages directly but commands bq50002 via PWM and MODE signals to control the full-bridge driver.
How does the BQ500511RHAT implement Foreign Object Detection (FOD)?
The BQ500511RHAT implements FOD by estimating unaccounted power loss using real-time measurements from ISENSE, VPEAK, and receiver-reported power packets. The FOD_THR pin sets the trip threshold (0–1000 mW) via analog voltage, while FOD_CAL compensates for load-dependent variations. If loss exceeds the threshold, the BQ500511RHAT halts power transfer and asserts fault indicators via LED outputs and BUZZ.
Can the BQ500511RHAT operate without the bq50002 analog front end?
No, the BQ500511RHAT is designed exclusively for use with the bq50002 analog front end. It relies on bq50002 for clock generation (CLK_IN), communication channel signals (COMM1/COMM2), and PWM-driven power stage control. The BQ500511RHAT lacks internal gate drivers, high-voltage interfaces, or resonant tank control circuitry - all functions delegated to bq50002 in this two-chip architecture.
What is the role of the LED_MODE pin on the BQ500511RHAT?
The LED_MODE pin selects one of ten predefined LED indication schemes at power-up via a resistor divider to 3 V. It determines how LED_A (green), LED_B (red), and LED_C (orange) behave during standby, charging, fault, FOD warning, DPL activation, and charge completion. Each scheme defines unique blink patterns (e.g., 1.25 Hz slow blink, 5 Hz fast blink) and on/off states mapped to operational states.
Does the BQ500511RHAT support trickle charging after battery full status is reported?
Yes, the BQ500511RHAT supports trickle charging via the WPC Charge Status (CS100) packet. When it receives a CS100 packet indicating 100% battery level, the BQ500511RHAT changes LED indication to "charge complete" but continues power transfer. If the reported charge status later drops below 90%, normal charging indication resumes - enabling safe top-off charging without host MCU intervention.
