Getting Started
• Controller
The NXP WPR15xx MCU is the central controller of the WPR1500 receiver board. The chip is a
higher integrated receiver controller MCU for wireless power transfer applications. The WPR15xx
is an ARM®Cortex®M0+ core ASSP with NXP’s UHV technology. It includes the FSK and CNC
models that allow easy development for bi-directional communication architecture between the
transmitter and receiver. The PGA model handles small signal, which eases the solution for foreign
object detection. The USB / adapter switcher sets the priority between wired and wireless charging.
The following modules are used in this application:
— CNC controls the communication and provides AC protection
— High voltage input PMC module with three power modes: Run, Wait, Stop
— Programmable gain amplifier (PGA) with differential input and output
— FSK demodulation timer (FSKDT)
— WDOG with independent clock source
• Rectifier
The rectifier uses self-driven sync type. It has the following characteristics:
— Input voltage : 3.5 V – 20 V AC peak
— Output voltage: 3.5 V – 20 V DC
• Communication
— The ASK differential bi-phase signal is modulated by switching the modulation capacitor
— The FSK signal is demodulated by the CNC and FSKDT modules
•USBswitch
— The CNC module automatically detects the input voltage from wired power plugs, and switches
on wired power when the input voltage is in the range of 4.5 V – 5.5 V
• DC–DC converter
— Input voltage : 5 V – 21 V DC
— Output voltage / current: 5 V DC / 3 A.
6 Getting Started
6.1 System development environment
The WPR1500 receiver board supports debugging using the IDE (IAR, Keil MDK or CodeWarrior) and
FreeMASTER tools. Figure 5 shows setup of the debug connection. The debugger and the debug board
are placed between the PC and the receiver board.
To download an image onto the WPR1516 chip, connect a debugger (J-Link or P&E-Multilink FX) to the
SWD port of a debug board, and connect the debug board to the receiver board using a 10-pin cable. The
micro interface on the debug board must be connected to the USB to get power.
To monitor the working status of the WPR1500 receiver board, short jumper J110 on the debug board, and
connect the micro interface on the debug board to the PC through a micro USB cable.

6.2 Downloading and debugging firmware
6.2.1 Connecting the J-Link debugger
Connect the J-Link debugger to the SWD port of the debug board, and then connect the debug board to the
receiver board using a 10-pin cable.
NOTE
The micro interface on the debug board must be connected to the USB to
receive power. Ensure that the jumper J110 is connected before the
download.
The J-Link connection is shown in Figure 7.

6.2.2 Downloading an existing WPR1500 project using IAR 7.30 or later
versions
To download an existing WPR1500 project using IAR, perform the following steps:
1. Set up the IAR embedded workbench.
The IAR embedded workbench tool is required. Since the receiver driver library is already
included in the lib folder of the wireless charger application project, you can open the application
project and build the applications directly whenever the wpr_lib.a is ready.
The configurations in MWPR1516_config.h are set for the BUCK board by default. To build this
project for the LDO board, change the macro definition BOARD_OUT_TYPE from #define
BOARD_OUT_TYPE OUT_TYPE_BUCK to #define BOARD_OUT_TYPE OUT_TYPE_LDO.
Then rebuild all the file in the project.
The demo applications workspace files are located in:
<software_package>/build/wpr1500/iar/WPR1500_REF/WPR1500_REF.eww
2. Build a project.
Click on the “Rebuild All” button:

6.2.3 Downloading an existing WPR1500 project with KEIL µVision5
To download an existing WPR1500 project with KEIL, perform the following steps:
1. Set up the KEIL µVision MDK.
Because the receiver driver library is already included in the library folder and platform folder of
the wireless charger application project, you can open the application project and build the
applications directly whenever the wpr_lib.lib is ready.
The configurations in MWPR1516_config.h are set for the BUCK board by default. To build this
project for the LDO board, change the macro definition BOARD_OUT_TYPE from #define
BOARD_OUT_TYPE OUT_TYPE_BUCK to #define BOARD_OUT_TYPE OUT_TYPE_LDO.
Then rebuild all the file in the project.
The demo applications workspace files are located in:
<software_package>/build/wpr1500/keil/WPR1500_REF/WPR1500_REF.uvprojx

6.2.4 Downloading an existing WPR1500 project with CodeWarrior
To download an existing WPR1500 project with CodeWarrior, perform the following steps:
1. Set up the CodeWarrior.
As the WPR1516 chip is a new series chip for CodeWarrior, install CodeWarrior V10.6.4 with
update 5 or later. To install update 5 package successfully, check for an update to let CodeWarrior
install some essential components.
Because the receiver driver library is already included in the lib folder and platform folder of the
wireless charger application project, you can open the application project and build the applications
directly whenever the libwpr_lib.a is ready.
The configurations in MWPR1516_config.h are set for the BUCK board by default. To build this
project for the LDO board, change the macro definition BOARD_OUT_TYPE from #define
BOARD_OUT_TYPE OUT_TYPE_BUCK to #define BOARD_OUT_TYPE OUT_TYPE_LDO.
Then rebuild all the file in the project.
The demo applications workspace folder is located in:
