Abstract: A device includes a PWM circuit to generate a complementary PWM signal comprised of a positive polarity PWM signal and a negative polarity PWM signal. The positive polarity signal may drive a high-side switch. A trigger multiplexer may take as input the negative polarity PWM signal and may force an output based on a predetermined condition, the predetermined condition including but not limited to the maximum on-time of a low-side switch. The output of the trigger multiplexer may drive a low-side switch. The high-side switch and the low-side switch may drive a load.

Abstract: A method comprises generating a wireless power transmission signal in one or more transmit coils of a wireless power transmitter and, in a multi-frequency operation of the wireless power transmitter, controlling an operating frequency of the wireless power transmission signal to repeatedly switch between a fundamental frequency and one of a lower frequency and an upper frequency in an alternating manner. The lower frequency is offset from the fundamental frequency by a first offset. The upper frequency is offset from the fundamental frequency by a second offset. The second offset is different from the first offset. The first offset associated with the lower frequency and the second offset associated with the upper frequency are to ensure a transmit power in the multi-frequency operation is substantially the same as a transmit power at the fundamental frequency.
