Abstract: Disclosed is a method of charging a battery, including determining at a first time interval a current to be applied until a second time interval such that the current charges the battery so that an anode Li-ion surface concentration at the second time interval is kept smaller than or equal to a maximum Li-ion surface concentration of the anode, applying the current to the battery, and determining at the second time interval another current to be applied until a third time interval such that the another current charges the battery so that an anode Li-ion surface concentration at the third time interval is kept smaller than or equal to the maximum Li-ion surface concentration of the anode.

Abstract: A DC-DC converter operates in a burst mode having at least one charge cycle with a charging phase followed by a discharging phase. A charging phase is terminated when an inductor current flowing through an inductance connected to the DC-DC converter reaches a compensated peak-current threshold, wherein the compensated peak-current threshold compensates for charging-phase loop delay. A discharging phase is terminated when the inductor current reaches a compensated valley-current threshold, wherein the compensated valley-current threshold compensates for discharging-phase loop delay.

Abstract: One example discloses, an apparatus for power management, having: a power input node configured to receive charge from a primary power source at a first power level; a power-converter, having an enabled state and a disabled state, and coupled to receive the charge from the power input node; an energy buffer, coupled to receive and store the charge from the power-converter, and configured to release the charge at a second power level; a power output node, coupled to receive the charge from the energy buffer, and configured to supply the charge at the second power level to a load; wherein the second power level is greater than the first power level; and wherein the power-converter switches between the enabled state and the disabled state based on whether the charge is supplied to the load.

Abstract: A predictive controller for an inductive DC-DC converter comprising a switchable inductor is described. The predictive controller includes a DC-DC controller configured to generate a plurality of switching phases to control the inductor current in the switchable inductor, the duration of the switching phases being determined from at least one of a reference inductor current value and a reference output voltage value. The predictive controller includes a supervisory controller coupled to the DC-DC controller and configured to set a reference inductor current value dependent on an expected change in load current and/or voltage of a load configured to be connected to the load terminal. The expected change in load current and/or voltage is determined from a predetermined load profile.
