    摘要: Embodiments described herein a method for controlling operating frequency for a wireless power charging system. Specifically, a transmitter coil at a wireless power transmitter is driven under an operating frequency and an input voltage. Deadtime information at the wireless power receiver is received, from a wireless power receiver having a receiver coil that receives wireless power from the transmitter coil. A microcontroller then determines, based on the received deadtime information or the operating frequency, whether the operating frequency deviates from a target operating frequency range. Based on the determination, one or both of the operating frequency or the input voltage are adjusted thereby causing the operating frequency to fall within the target operating frequency range.

    摘要: A method of measuring a Q-factor in a wireless power transmitter includes charging a capacitor in a LC tank circuit that includes a transmission coil to a voltage; starting a Q-factor determining by coupling the LC tank circuit to ground to form a free-oscillating circuit; monitoring the voltage across the capacitor as a function of time as the LC tank circuit oscillates; and determining the resonant frequency and the Q-factor from monitoring the voltage.

    摘要: A charging system that includes a switching control circuit coupled to four series-coupled MOSFET transistors; a flying capacitor coupled across two of the four series-coupled MOSFET transistors; and node between the two of the four series coupled transistors that couples to an output inductor to form a buck regulator is presented. Embodiments of the charging system can have increased efficiency, can reduce the size and inductance of the output inductor, and can be produced with a low voltage process.
