Hi Bernie,
About the temperature sensing question, you mentioned “what is the purpose of this circuit in the nxp design?”. Can you please specify which circuit you are referring to? Please send me the link of the documentation you are working with.
Typically, the embedded temperature sensor read the temperature of the internal device which is used for internal calibration and compensation, but it can also be used for ambient temperature measurement.
Check Application Note AN3031 for more detailed information: https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/application-note/AN3031.pdf
Regarding the purpose of the Q factor detection in this schematic, Q factor (Quality factor) is defined as the Q factor of Test Power Transmitter #MP1’s Primary Coil at an operating frequency of 100 kHz with RX positioned on the interface surface and no FO nearby.
On section 4.7 of the WCT101XAV31A User Guide you can find more detailed information about this quality factor: https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/user-guide/WCT101XAV31AUG.pdf
