Abstract: A wireless power transfer circuit can include an interphase transformer operatively coupled to a receiver coil, a rectifier, and a load. The receiver coil can be configured to have an alternating current induced therein by a transmitter coil. The interphase transformer can be configured to deliver a current to the load that is twice the current induced in the receiver coil, and the rectifier can be configured to rectify the current delivered to the load. The interphase transformer may be constructed with a center tapped winding structure or a bifilar winding structure, and may be constructed as a planar transformer. The rectifier may be made up of diodes (which may be Schottky diodes) or may be a synchronous rectifier comprised of switching devices such as MOSFETs.

Abstract: A primary resonant flyback converter may include a primary winding, a resonant capacitor in series with the primary winding, a secondary winding magnetically coupled to the primary winding, and an output electrically coupled to the secondary winding. A main switch may be operated to energize the primary winding when closed and transfer energy stored in the primary winding to the secondary winding when open. An auxiliary switch may be configured to switch complimentarily to the main switch, thereby allowing a resonant current to circulate through the primary winding and capacitor. Switch timing may be controlled to produce a desired output voltage. The converter may also include an input inductor that receives an input voltage, presenting an improved power factor to an AC input power source and in conjunction with the switching devices boosts a rectified AC input voltage to a DC voltage bus of the converter.
