Notice
<High Voltage Safety Precautions>
◇ Read all safety precautions before use
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.

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

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.

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.
