Abstract: A wireless power transmitter circuit generates a wireless transmitting power during a power supply procedure, and determines whether there is a corresponding wireless power receiver circuit near by the wireless power transmitter circuit during a groping procedure. The groping procedure includes: step S10, generating a first analog groping transmitting signal; step S20, determining whether there is an electromagnetic inductive object near by the wireless power transmitter circuit according to an electrical characteristic related to the first analog groping transmitting signal, and when yes, proceeding to step S50, otherwise proceeding back to the step S10 after a first predetermined period; step S50: generating a digital groping transmitting signal; and step S60, determining whether there is a corresponding wireless power receiver circuit near by the wireless power transmitter circuit according to a reflect signal.

Abstract: A wireless power transmitter circuit includes: a power stage circuit including plural switches coupled to a resonant transmitter circuit, wherein the resonant transmitter circuit includes a transmission coil and a resonant capacitor which are coupled to each other; and a transmission control circuit controlling the power stage circuit to convert an input power to a driving power according to a pulse width modulation (PWM) control signal when a corresponding wireless power receiver circuit is near by the resonant transmitter circuit. The driving power drives the resonant transmitter circuit to generate a wireless transmitting power, which is supplied to the corresponding wireless power receiver circuit. When a variation rate of a driving current of the driving power with respect to time exceeds a variation rate threshold, an operation parameter of the power stage circuit is adjusted to reduce a power level of the wireless transmitting power.
