Product details
Overview
BQ51021YFPT from Texas Instruments is a WPC v1.1–compliant single-chip wireless power receiver IC integrating synchronous rectification, post-regulation LDO, and full digital communication control. It delivers up to 1.0 A output current at adjustable 4.5–8 V output voltage with 97% post-regulator efficiency and 79% system-level efficiency at 5 W, targeting compact mobile charging applications including smartphones and power banks.
For engineers reviewing the BQ51021YFPT datasheet, BQ51021YFPT pinout, BQ51021YFPT application, or BQ51021YFPT equivalent, key selection criteria include its I²C-enabled programmability (100 kHz), dynamic rectifier control for transient response, hardware current limit via ILIM pin, thermal shutdown at 155°C, and DSBGA-42 (3.60 × 2.89 mm²) package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The BQ51021YFPT implements a fully integrated WPC v1.1 receiver stack: bi-phase encoded 2-kb/s communication via COMM1/COMM2 pins, dynamic rectifier control that adjusts VRECT targets based on load percentage (e.g., VOUT + 0.12 V above 40% IILIM), and adaptive power scaling using KILIM/RILIM to optimize LDO dissipation. Its synchronous rectifier operates in full-synchronous mode above 100 mA and transitions to half-synchronous below that threshold.
It features dual-mode operation: wireless power reception with real-time error packet feedback every 250 ms (accelerating to 32 ms during transients), plus adapter mux support via AD/AD-EN pins with 3.5–3.8 V enable threshold and 450 mV hysteresis. Temperature sensing via TS/CTRL pin supports end-power-transfer signaling at 0.38 V and thermal shutdown at 155°C with 20°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Wireless Standard | WPC v1.1 compliant - enables interoperability with Qi-certified transmitters without firmware development |
| Max Output Current | 1.0 A - supports fast-charging loads such as USB-PD input stages or Li-ion battery chargers |
| Output Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 8 V - set via external resistor divider on VO_REG pin (0.5 V reference), enabling coil and thermal optimization |
| I²C Interface | 100 kHz standard-mode - allows runtime adjustment of VO_REG, FOD scaling, and alignment training via host MCU |
| Thermal Protection | 155°C shutdown with 20°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor thermal design |

Pinout & Package
Package: DSBGA-42 (3.60 × 2.89 mm²), 0.4 mm pitch, bottom-side solder balls.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1 / AC2 | AC input from resonant tank | Dual differential inputs for primary coil coupling - accepts up to 20 V RMS, supports multi-coil receiver designs |
| RECT | Rectified DC node | Internal synchronous rectifier output - feeds LDO input; regulated to VOUT + 0.12–2.0 V depending on load |
| OUT | Regulated power output | Delivers up to 1.0 A at 4.5–8 V - directly powers downstream charger ICs or battery management systems |
| COMM1 / COMM2 | WPC communication driver | Open-drain FETs modulating reflected impedance - enables bidirectional packet exchange at 2 kb/s |
| SCL / SDA | I²C interface (bq51021 only) | Host-controlled configuration and telemetry - required for VO_REG programming and alignment training |
| ILIM | Hardware current limit sense | Analog input setting overcurrent threshold - RILIM = KILIM/IILIM (KILIM = 842 AΩ) defines 1500 mA max range |
| TS/CTRL | Temperature sense / EPT control | Pull-high to signal charge complete (EPT), pull-low for overtemperature shutdown - interfaces with NTC thermistor |
| WPG / PD_DET | Power-good / pad-detect outputs | Open-drain status indicators - WPG asserts when power transfer active; PD_DET signals presence on TX surface |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar wireless power receiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| bq51020YFPT | No I²C interface; standalone operation only - lacks VO_REG programmability and alignment training capability | Suitable for fixed-output, cost-sensitive designs where host MCU control is unnecessary | Select bq51020YFPT only if I²C configuration is not required and output voltage is fixed via resistor divider |
| bq51221YFPT | Dual-mode (WPC v1.1 + PMA); higher integration including integrated FET drivers and enhanced FOD algorithm | Supports legacy PMA transmitters and offers improved foreign object detection resolution | Choose bq51221YFPT when backward compatibility with PMA infrastructure or tighter FOD tolerance is mandatory |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the BQ51021YFPT?
The BQ51021YFPT supports a maximum continuous output current of 1.0 A under recommended operating conditions (TJ ≤ 125°C). This rating is enforced by the hardware current limit circuit tied to the ILIM pin, where RILIM sets the threshold per KILIM/IILIM (KILIM = 842 AΩ). The device also delivers up to 3.7 A peak for 1 ms during short-circuit events before latching off.
How does the BQ51021YFPT achieve 79% system efficiency at 5 W?
The BQ51021YFPT achieves 79% system efficiency through three integrated techniques: a fully synchronous rectifier delivering 96% efficiency, a 97% efficient post-regulator LDO, and Dynamic Power Scaling that adjusts LDO headroom based on real-time load - minimizing conduction losses across the full 0–1.0 A range while maintaining transient response.
Can the BQ51021YFPT be used without an I²C host controller?
No - the BQ51021YFPT requires an I²C host controller for essential configuration, including VO_REG voltage setting, FOD calibration, and alignment training. Unlike the pin-compatible bq51020YFPT, the BQ51021YFPT does not support standalone operation; SCL and SDA pins must be connected and initialized to enable power delivery.
What is the function of the TS/CTRL pin on the BQ51021YFPT?
The TS/CTRL pin on the BQ51021YFPT serves dual functions: it monitors temperature via an external NTC thermistor network, and it signals end-of-power-transfer (EPT) to the transmitter. Pulling TS/CTRL high sends "charge complete"; pulling low triggers thermal shutdown at 155°C. Its internal bias is 1.8 V, and it asserts EPT at 0.38 V during overtemperature events.
Does the BQ51021YFPT support adapter priority functionality?
Yes - the BQ51021YFPT supports adapter priority via AD and AD-EN pins. When VAD exceeds 3.6 V (with 450 mV hysteresis), the device disables wireless power transfer, sends EPT to the transmitter, and enables the external back-to-back PMOS switch to route adapter power to OUT. This ensures wired power always takes precedence over wireless input.
