Wireless Toothbrush Charger, KiCad PCB Design

A two-board wireless power transfer system modelled on an electric toothbrush charger, designed as part of a group university project.

Project overview

The system consists of two custom PCBs communicating through inductive coupling: a primary board acting as the charger base, and a secondary board acting as the battery pack receiver. Component values were calculated individually for the specific power transfer requirements rather than taken directly from a reference design.

Design details

  • Both boards designed in KiCad from schematic capture through DRC
  • 4-layer stack-up with EMC-aware routing
  • Inductive coupling optimised to minimise power loss across the air gap
  • Components soldered by hand and system validated using oscilloscope and multimeter
  • Output levels verified against design targets

Tools used

  • KiCad (schematic capture, PCB layout, DRC)
  • Oscilloscope and multimeter for validation

Questions

How big is the Wireless power primary PCB?

It measures 66 × 26 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Wireless power primary use?

19 parts, built around the IR2302PBF, NA555P, IRFZ44N and EG1218. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Wireless power primary KiCad files?

From the sofiamonty/toothbrush-charger-pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is wireless-power-primary/wireless-power-primary.kicad_pcb and its schematic wireless-power-primary/wireless-power-primary.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Wireless power primary design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask sofiamonty before reusing the design.
