    Abstract: A resonant wireless power system includes a source circuit having a source coil, an ac driver with a first resistance, representing the equivalent output impedance of the ac driver, and a matching network. A current probe measures the magnitude signal of the instantaneous source coil current. A voltage probe measures the instantaneous ac driver voltage. A phase detector compares the phase of the instantaneous source coil current and the instantaneous ac driver voltage, and produces a first output signal proportional to the phase difference. A first amplifier compares the magnitude signal and a target signal, and produces an error signal proportional to the difference. A first compensation filter produces the control voltage that determines the ac driver supply voltage. A second amplifier amplifies the first output signal. A second compensation filter produces the control voltage that determines the impedance of a variable element in the source circuit.

    Abstract: A variable gain circuit used in an in-band communication system is provided that includes a current sense pickup that is coupled to the output of a DC power source that senses current from the DC power source and provides a first output signal. A variable controlled amplifier structure, that is coupled to the DC power source, receives the first output signal and provides a specified amount of gain to the first output signal so as to produce a second output signal. A digital signal is produced using the second output having a selected frequency bandwidth.

    Abstract: A wireless charging in-band communication system includes a transmitter module that formats a message using CRC calculation and attaches the results of the CRC calculation to the message for message error detection. The transmitter includes channel encoding for message error correction. A modulation module performs biphase modulation for DC balanced signals and impedance switching to change reflected impedance seen by the source. A synchronization module prepending the message with a synchronization sequence having Golay complementary codes. Moreover, the in-band communication includes a receiver module that receives the message from the transmitter module. The receiver module includes an impedance sensing circuit to detect changes in the reflected impedance of the transmitter module. The receiver module includes a front end filter used for pulse shaping and noise rejection. A preamble detection block includes a Golay complementary code correlator used for message detection, synchronization, and equalization coefficient estimation and selection. A decoding module performs biphase demodulation with error correction with a DC offset being estimated as the average value of the signal over the length of the message before channel decoding Also, the decoding module performs equalization, error correction channel decoding,and error detection (CRC).

    Abstract: A synchronous rectifier using only n-channel devices in which the low-side switches are effectively cross-coupled using low-side comparators and the high-side switches perform an accurate zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) comparison. The charging path of each bootstrap domain is completed through the low-side switches, which are each always on for every half-cycle independent of loading. This scheme gives rectifier efficiency gain because a) each bootstrap domain receives maximum charging time, and b) the charging occurs through a switch rather than a diode. Both these factors ensure the bootstrap domain is fully charged, thereby reducing conduction losses through the rectifier switches. Furthermore, settings may be adjusted by software to optimize the resistive and capacitive losses of the rectifier. Using data for die temperature and operating frequency, software can create a feedback loop, dynamically adjusting rectifier settings in order to achieve the best possible efficiency.
