    Abstract: One embodiment of a display backlight driver integrated circuit can be configured for operation in at least two different ways. A first method transfers data from an EEPROM to hardware registers prior to regular operation. A second method also transfers data from an EEPROM to registers. However, hardware registers can be overwritten with data accepted from a control bus, prior to regular operation. A keyboard driver IC can detect the presence or absence of a cable to an LED. If the cable is absent, the driver IC will not supply power for the LED. One embodiment of a keyboard and display backlight control system can be configured to allow substantially independent operation.

    Abstract: Embodiments describe electromagnetic shielding for wireless charging systems. A wireless charging system includes a transmitter coil configured to generate a magnetic flux, a receiver coil positioned coaxial with the transmitter coil to receive the generated magnetic flux, where electrical interaction between the transmitter coil and the receiver coil generates electric fields, a transmitter shield positioned between the transmitter coil and the receiver coil to intercept some of the electric fields directed away from the transmitter coil and allow the magnetic flux to pass through the transmitter shield, and a receiver shield positioned between the transmitter shield and the receiver coil to intercept some of the electric fields directed away from the receiver coil and allow the magnetic flux to pass through the receiver shield.

    Abstract: A switched-mode power supply with reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI) is described. This switched-mode power supply includes a modulation circuit that continuously frequency modulates a control signal over a bandwidth associated with a spread-spectrum modulation signal. By frequency modulating the control signal in the switched-mode power supply, spectral content associated with a modulated switching signal is spread evenly over the bandwidth, thereby reducing the EMI.

    Abstract: A half bridge power converter can be coupled to, or included in, a wireless transmitter device. The half bridge power converter includes an upper switching element connected between a direct current supply voltage and a lower switching element. A duty controller is coupled to the upper and the lower switching elements and is configured to asymmetrically control the duty cycles of the upper and lower switching elements based on a voltage level of the direct current supply voltage. In general, the duty cycle of the lower switching element is different than the duty cycle of the upper switching element. Additionally or alternatively, the duty controller is configured to determine and control the duty cycles of the upper and lower switching elements to adjust a direct current gain of a wireless energy transfer system that includes the wireless transmitter device.
