Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for charge control are provided. The apparatus for charge control may include an integrated direct current-to-direct current (DC/DC) converter configured to step up an output voltage level of a load to be greater than or equal to a supply voltage level set in a power amplifier, and the power amplifier configured to convert a direct current (DC) voltage stepped up by the integrated DC/DC converter into an alternating current (AC) voltage based on a resonant frequency, and to amplify the converted AC voltage. The apparatus for charge control may include a rectification unit configured to convert an AC power received wirelessly into a DC power; and a DC/DC converter configured to step down a voltage level of the DC power to a voltage level required by a load in the receiving mode.
Abstract:
A planar spiral induction coil includes a strip-shaped coil having at least one turn. The at least one turn has a width that changes as a distance from a beginning of the strip-shaped coil increases in a length direction of the strip-shaped coil. Each turn of the at least one turn has a respective width that causes an equal current to flow through each turn of the at least one turn.
