Wireless charging device

An electrical power driver system with fault monitoring provision for both a self test mode and a normal operating mode. During the self test mode, the power driver is momentarily actuated during test intervals and its output compared to a predetermined value for providing self test fault indications. Each power driver is sampled and an indication provided of whether the fault is new or old in addition to providing a count of faults. During normal operation, monitoring circuitry provides indications of a plurality of fault types including over temperature, open circuit, short to ground, and short to voltage. A determination is made of whether each fault type is new or old and a count of faults provided. Output formatting provides indications of fault type, fault count, and whether the fault is intermittent or hard.
