In my application I want to implement an custom inband communication between RX <--> TX。I've gone through the official datasheet but couldn't find clear information about the in-band communication data registers or buffers. Could you point me to any additional reference materials, application notes, or documentation on in-band communication?

Dear Frogme,

The STWLC68 is not available anymore and it has not been supported for several years now.

It has been replaced by STWLC38.

Please contact your distributor as he will be able to guide you towards the best solution. Indeed, ST support to mass market projects has been limited.

Best regards,

hank you for your reply. I will adopt STWBC86TX paired with STWLC38RX. Could you please send the documents regarding in-band communication to my email?

Additionally, I would like to enquire about further technical support. How can I get in touch with relevant distributors in China? Could you provide their contact information? Thank you very much!

Okay, thank you for your reply. Are there any documents for this wireless charging solution available on GitHub? Please share them with me if possible. Thank you very much!

I have already contacted your distributor (Mouser), who directed me to consult you here. Now you are sending me back to them. All I need is the documentation or sample code for I2C in-band communication between STWLC38 and STWBC86. It is merely a document or code. There is no need to keep passing me back and forth like a hot potato!
