Please note that this document covers only the BD57121MUF-M evaluation board
(BD57121MUF-EVK-001) and its functions. For additional information, please refer to
the datasheet.
To ensure safe operation, please carefully read all precautions before
handling the evaluation board
Depending on the configuration of the board and voltages used,
Potentially lethal voltages may be generated.
Therefore, please make sure to read and observe all safety precautions described in
the red box below.
Before Use
[1] Verify that the parts/components are not damaged or missing (i.e. due to the drops).
[2] Check that there are no conductive foreign objects on the board.
[3] Be careful when performing soldering on the module and/or evaluation board to ensure that solder
splash does not occur.
[4] Check that there is no condensation or water droplets on the circuit board.
During Use
[5] Be careful to not allow conductive objects to come into contact with the board.
[6] Brief accidental contact or even bringing your hand close to the board may result in
discharge and lead to severe injury or death.
Therefore, DO NOT touch the board with your bare hands or bring them too close to the board.
In addition, as mentioned above please exercise extreme caution when using conductive tools such as
tweezers and screwdrivers.
[7] If used under conditions beyond its rated voltage, it may cause defects such as short-circuit or,
depending on the circumstances, explosion or other permanent damages.
[8] Be sure to wear insulated gloves when handling is required during operation.
After Use
[9] The ROHM Evaluation Board contains the circuits which store the high voltage. Since it stores the
charges even after the connected power circuits are cut, please discharge the electricity after using
it, and please deal with it after confirming such electric discharge.
[10] Protect against electric shocks by wearing insulated gloves when handling.
This evaluation board is intended for use only in research and development facilities and
should by handled only by qualified personnel familiar with all safety and operating procedures.
We recommend carrying out operation in a safe environment that includes the use of high
voltage signage at all entrances, safety interlocks, and protective glasses.
NFC-compatible Wireless Power Transmitter
for Automotive Applications
BD57121MUF-M E valuation Board
BD57121MUF-EVK-001
BD57121MUF-EVK-001 Evaluation Board is based on the BD57121MUF-M Automotive-grade wireless power transmitter IC. This board
integrates the ST25R3914 NFC reader/writer IC from ST Microelectronics to detect the presence of any NFC cards or tags and to prevent
damaging of the NFC antennae by the wireless power transfer system. Wireless power transfer is compliant with WPC Qi ver1.2.4 and can supply
power up to 15 W (output in receiver). Detection and identification of NFC Type A, B, F and V are possible.
Features
・Compliance to WPC Qi ver1.2.4
・Support of Multiple coils to increase charging area
(Qi MP-A13 coil type)
・Power control using fixed frequency and variable voltage
・NFC card / tag detection of Type A, B, F, V
・Housing size: 120 mm x 65 mm x 30 mm

Performance specification
These are only representative values, and they do not represent guaranteed values of the product characteristics.
VIN = 12 V, unless otherwise specified.
1. System configuration for wireless power transfer and NFC
Wireless power transfer system consists of a two-way power transmission and communication system using a transmitter and a
receiver, and the NFC system also communicates between the reader (= transmitter) and the listener. A single Microcontroller (MCU)
controls both wireless power transmission and NFC reader, so it is possible to have seamless operation between each other.
Figure 2. System configuration for wireless power transfer and NFC
2. Key components
The purpose of this EVK is to evaluate and verify key components needed for wireless power transfer and NFC detection. For more
information, refer to the Web site for each product.
BD57121MUF-M operates with a 5.4 V power supply. NFC reader IC ST25R3914 operates with a main power supply of 5.4 V
and a sub of 3.3 V. The STM8AF MCU operates with a main power supply of 3.3 V. The peripheral voltage of the MCU is 3.3 V.
The MCU communicates with the BD57121MUF-M via I2C bus, and with the ST25R3914 via SPI bus.
BD57121MUF-M functions as the analog front-end for wireless power transfer that is compliant to Qi ver 1.2.4, and it includes a
D / A converter for voltage control, a pre-driver for driving the inverter bridge, an analog sensing circuit, and a selector circuit for
multiple coils.
ST25R3914 is a high-sensitivity and high-power NFC / HF analog front-end that supports ISO14443A / B, ISO15693, FeliCa™
and ISO 18092 (NFCIP-1) active P2P. This IC directly drives the NFC antenna. Please contact ST Microelectronics regarding
details of this IC.

(4) Load (Electronic load or resistor is prepared as a load on the receiver side, if necessary)
(5) DC voltage meter
(6) NFC card / tag
2. Connecting the equipment
(1) Set the DC power supply to 12V and turn off the power supply output.
(2) Confirm that SW1 on the EVK is on the OFF side.
(3) Connect the positive terminal of the power supply to the ADPV terminal and the negative terminal of the power supply to the
GNDADPV terminal with a pair of wires.
(4) Turn on the DC power supply output.
(5) Set SW1 to ON, then LED4 lights on green.
3. Operation of Wireless power transmission
(1) Put Qi compliant receiver directly on top of the Qi coil of the transmitter.
(2) When communication with the receiver is established, LED1 and LED2 light up in green according to the power profile of the
receiver.
(3) Connect the load.
4. Operation of NFC detection
(1) Place the NFC card / tag near the NFC antenna (approx. at 5 cm distance).
(2) LED3 lights on red during detection.
5. LED indicators
(*1) BPP (Baseline Power Profile): Capable wireless power supply up to 5W
(*2) EPP (Extended Power Profile): Capable wireless power supply up to 15W
(*3) LED3 also lights up when EVK protection circuit is activated.
Check whether there is abnormal heating on the board or overcurrent of the input power supply.
(*4) There are two types of error detection status.
・ Foreign Object Detection
Make sure that no foreign objects are caught between the transmitter and receiver.
In addition, due to position gap of the coil, foreign object may be detected. Therefore, please align the center of the
receiver coil with the center of Qi coil of the transmitter.
・ End of Power Transfer
The transmitter has stopped transferring power because it has received a stop signal from the receiver that is in use.
Please check using another receiver if the same phenomenon occurs.
