    Abstract: In general, techniques are described that are directed to a device that includes a power storage device, an electrical load, and a first regulated power converter including components configured to generate, during a first time period and using electrical energy received from a power source external to the device, a first power signal to charge the power storage device. A second regulated power converter includes components configured to determine a charging current at which to charge the power storage device, determine a total amount of current flowing to the power storage device that includes current sourced by the second power converter less current sinked by the electrical load, and generate, during a second time period that is non-overlapping with the first time period, using electrical energy from the power source and based on determined the total amount of current, a second power signal to charge the power storage device.

    Abstract: An optimized near-field communication (NFC) antenna structure for reduced coupling with a wireless charging (WLC) coil of a computing device includes the WLC coil and an NFC coil that at least partially overlaps the WLC coil. The NFC coil of the optimized structure may include two sections that partially overlap the WLC coil and meet, over the WLC coil, at an angle to reduce coupling between the WLC coil and the NFC coil. The angled shape of the NFC coil may be implemented in various shapes resulting in one or more angles such that the first and second sections of the NFC coil are angled with respect to one another over the WLC coil. The combination or shape of the angles of the NFC coil, as well as NFC coil position relative to the WLC coil, may be optimized to reduce coupling between the NFC coil and the WLC coil.
