Abstract: A configurable charge converter may include an adaptive low-dropout regulator. The adaptive low-dropout regulator may include a headroom detection circuit and a power supply controller. The headroom detection circuit may monitor a voltage drop across a field effect transistor (FET) and cause a programmable power supply to increase or decrease an output voltage accordingly. In some aspects, the configurable charge converter may include an adaptive low-dropout regulator and a buck/boost converter. The output power of the configurable charge controller may be provided by the adaptive low-dropout regulator, the buck/boost converter, or by both the adaptive low-dropout regulator and the buck/boost converter operating in combination.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to soft starting a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) circuit operating as a charge pump in a reverse multiply-by-two mode. One example SMPS circuit generally includes a plurality of transistors, a capacitive element coupled to the plurality of transistors, and a current sink coupled between the capacitive element and a reference potential node for the SMPS circuit. For certain aspects, the current sink is configured to be enabled during a first phase of a soft start operation for the SMPS circuit, but is configured to be disabled during a second phase of the soft start operation and during normal operation for the SMPS circuit.

Abstract: Enhanced reverse boosting detection in a wireless charging scheme is disclosed. In some implementations, a minimum mid-level input voltage regulation (VMID_MIN regulation) loop is provided to regulate an input voltage from a wirelessly coupled power source when a mid-level of the input voltage falls below a predetermined threshold. The input voltage is provided to a buck converter within a wireless charging receiver. An input missing poller signal generator is provided to generate an input missing poller (IMP) signal if the VMID_MIN regulation loop becomes active and the buck converter has entered a discontinuous mode.
