Abstract:
An overvoltage protecting unit and an overcurrent protecting unit protect a power device from an overvoltage and an overcurrent using a comparator having hysteresis. An overtemperature protecting unit protects the power device from an overtemperature using a thermistor having a resistance that changes as a temperature of the thermistor changes.
Abstract:
A wireless power relay apparatus includes a relay resonator configured to relay power from a source resonator configured to wirelessly transmit the power, to a target resonator configured to wirelessly receive the power through a mutual resonance, the relay resonator having a higher quality factor than the source resonator and the target resonator.
Abstract:
A wireless power transmission method includes searching for one or more routes to be used to transmit power to a reception resonator through one or more relay resonators, and converting the routes to respective one or more two-port networks. The method further includes calculating a transmission efficiency of each of the routes based on the two-port networks, and selecting a route with a highest transmission efficiency from the routes. The method further includes wirelessly transmitting power to the reception resonator through the selected route.
Abstract:
A wireless power receiver includes a power receiver configured to wirelessly receive power, and including a direct current (DC)-to-DC (DC/DC) converter, and a power detector configured to detect power detection information from a front end of the DC/DC converter.
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:
Provided is an apparatus and method to control a resonance frequency of a device subject to wireless power transmission interference. The apparatus and method include supplying power from a printed circuit board (PCB) to an integrated circuit (IC) during exposure to a wireless power transmission environment experiencing mutual resonance. The apparatus and method also include a resonance frequency of the PCB based on a change in the supply of power.
Abstract:
A method for communication and power control of a wireless power transmitter, includes transmitting notice information to a wireless power receiver, and detecting a wireless power receiver based on the notice information, the wireless power receiver accessing the wireless power transmitter. The method further includes determining whether the wireless power receiver is to cease the accessing of the wireless power transmitter based on a power control and/or a power transmission efficiency, and transmitting a reset command to the wireless power receiver in response to the wireless power receiver being determined to incorrectly access the wireless power transmitter.
Abstract:
An apparatus that transmits and receives wireless power, includes a controller configured to determine whether the apparatus is to operate in a power reception mode or a power transmission mode based on a capacity of a battery of the apparatus, and a capacity of a battery of another apparatus. The apparatus further includes a resonator configured to receive power from the other apparatus in response to the apparatus being determined to operate in the power reception mode, and transmit power to the other apparatus in response to the apparatus being determined to operate in the power transmission mode.
