Hi everyone,
I'm currently working with a wireless charging system using STWBC86 (transmitter) and STWLC38 (receiver) from STMicroelectronics. Both chips are based on the WPC Qi standard and are designed for wireless power transfer.
I have a few questions regarding compatibility with other Qi-based devices:
If I place a different Qi-certified transmitter (e.g., commercial wireless charger) on top of the STWLC38,
will it charge properly?
Conversely, if I put a third-party Qi receiver (e.g., Qi-based earbuds case) on top of the STWBC86 transmitter,
will it charge successfully?
If compatibility issues occur in either case, does that mean that Qi version alignment (e.g., Qi 1.2.4) is not
sufficient to ensure interoperability? Or are there manufacturer-specific implementations that can affect compatibility?
I'd really appreciate any insights or experience anyone has had with mixed-device Qi systems.
Thanks in advance!
