Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for controlling voltage in a wireless power receiver. A wireless power receiver may comprise an electromagnetic coil configured to receive a current induced by a magnetic flux generated by a wireless power transmitter and a comparator configured to compare a voltage generated by the induced current to a threshold voltage indicating a capability of circuitry coupled to the wireless power receiver. In the event the voltage generated by the induced current exceeds the threshold voltage, the voltage may be limited to a safe value.

Abstract: A circuit for a switching charger includes multiple input supply nodes, and a number of charging paths. Each input supply node is connectable to a power source. Each charging path may include a middle node connected to a coupling switch and a pass transistor. The coupling switch may be configured to activate a corresponding charging path of the charging paths. A pre-charging switch may be coupled to a corresponding middle node of each charging path. The pass transistor of an activated one of the charging paths may be configured to provide a switching voltage at an input of a charging sub-circuit. The pre-charging switch may be configurable to pre-charge a middle node of a non-activated path to a high voltage to prevent an unwanted high current passing through a body diode of a corresponding pass transistor of the non-activated path.

Abstract: A device and circuits are provided for wireless power transfer (WPT) gate-drive power reduction. A WPT receiver circuit includes a receive coil to couple to a transmit coil of a WPT transmitter circuit. A rectification circuit is coupled to the receive coil to generate a rectified voltage. The rectification circuit is a bridge rectifier circuit including a first set of field-effect transistors (FETs). One or more gate-drive control circuits improve power dissipation of the rectification circuit by controlling drive voltages of gate terminals of the first set of FET switches after start-up of the WPT receiver circuit.

Abstract: Accurate charge measurement based on a calibration factor is described. According to certain aspects, the amount of charge stored in a battery is accumulated over time and adjusted using a calibration factor. In one embodiment, the calibration factor is determined by generating a replica current which comprises a scaled factor of a battery charging current. A calibration reference voltage is measured based on the replica current, and a charge reference voltage is measured based on the battery charging current. A calibration factor is determined based on the charge reference voltage and the calibration reference voltage. In turn, the amount of charge in a battery is accumulated over time using the calibration factor. In various embodiments, the calibration factor provides a factor by which a relatively-low tolerance reference circuit is adjusted, to achieve higher accuracy without substantially increased cost.
