    Abstract: An inductor-inductor-capacitor (LLC) power converter includes a current input interface to receive a current input indication. The current input indication includes a voltage to represent a current passing through of a primary side of the LLC power converter. The LLC power converter includes voltage input interface to receive a voltage input. The voltage input is to include a representative voltage to be provided from a secondary side of the LLC power converter. The LLC power converter includes a control circuit to generate pulsed-width modulation (PWM) control signals for the LLC power converter. The control circuit is to match an on-time period of a first leg and a second leg of the LLC power converter and based upon the current input indication and the voltage input.

    Abstract: A plurality of PWM generators have user configurable time delay circuits for each PWM control signal generated therefrom. The time delay circuits are adjusted so that each of the PWM control signals arrive at their associated power transistors at the same time. This may be accomplished by determining a maximum delay time of the PWM control signal that has to traverse the longest propagation time and then setting the delay for that PWM control signal to substantially zero delay. Thereafter, all other delay time settings for the other PWM control signals may be determined by subtracting the propagation time for each of the other PWM control signals from the longest propagation time. Thereby insuring that all of the PWM control signals arrive at their respective power transistor control nodes with substantially the same time relationships as when they left their respective PWM generators.

    Abstract translation: 多个PWM发生器具有用于由其产生的每个PWM控制信号的用户可配置的时间延迟电路。 时间延迟电路被调整,使得每个PWM控制信号同时到达它们相关联的功率晶体管。 这可以通过确定必须经过最长传播时间的PWM控制信号的最大延迟时间,然后将该PWM控制信号的延迟设定为基本为零的延迟来实现。 此后,可以通过从最长传播时间减去每个其它PWM控制信号的传播时间来确定其它PWM控制信号的所有其他延迟时间设置。 从而确保所有的PWM控制信号到达它们各自的功率晶体管控制节点时具有与其离开它们各自的PWM发生器时基本相同的时间关系。

    Abstract: Various methods relate to digital demodulation for wireless power transmission. A method of operating a wireless power transmitter includes transmitting, with a transmitter coil of a wireless power transmitter, power to a receiver coil of a wireless power receiver. The method also includes sampling one or more electrical signals of the wireless power transmitter. The one or more electrical signals are modulated responsive to alteration of electrical conditions at the wireless power receiver. The method further includes digitally demodulating the sampled one or more electrical signals using a digital filter to obtain a communication from the wireless power receiver. The digital filter includes at least two low pass filter stages that each filter out a fundamental frequency used for the transmission of the power to the receiver coil.

    Abstract: Object detection for wireless power transmitters and related systems, methods, and devices are disclosed. A controller for a wireless power transmitter is configured to receive a measurement voltage potential responsive to a tank circuit signal at a tank circuit, provide an alternating current (AC) signal to each of the plurality of transmit coils one at a time, and determine at least one of a resonant frequency and a quality factor (Q-factor) of the tank circuit responsive to each selected transmit coil of the plurality of transmit coils. The controller is also configured to select a transmit coil to use to transmit wireless power to a receive coil of a wireless power receiver responsive to the determined at least one of the resonant frequency and the Q-factor for each transmit coil of the plurality of transmit coils.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices related to a converter of a wireless power transmitter are disclosed. A controller for a wireless power transmitter is configured to sample an output voltage potential to produce a digital output voltage potential, determine an error between an output reference voltage potential and the digital output voltage potential, filter the error to determine a filtered error, and apply an adaptive gain to the filtered error to determine a duty cycle control signal. The adaptive gain is determined responsive to a converter input voltage potential of the converter of the wireless power transmitter. The controller is further configured to determine a controller output including buck pulse width modulation (PWM) signals and boost PWM signals based on the duty cycle control signal, the controller output configured to control the converter of the wireless power transmitter.
