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.

Abstract: Techniques and apparatus for controlling gate drivers of a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) circuit—such as a three-level buck converter, a divide-by-two charge pump, or an adaptive combination power supply circuit capable of switching therebetween—in a power-saving mode (e.g., a pulse-skipping mode). During such a power-saving mode in which a capacitor of a charge pump is disconnected from at least one power supply rail (e.g., first and second input nodes of the charge pump) and is coupled to power terminals of one or more drivers of the SMPS circuit, the capacitor is temporarily disconnected from the power terminals and temporarily coupled to the at least one power supply rail (e.g., for a few microseconds).

Abstract: A three-level buck converter circuit configurable to transition between a three-level buck converter mode and a two-level buck converter mode and methods for regulating power using such a circuit. One example power supply circuit generally includes a three-level buck converter circuit and a control circuit coupled to the three-level buck converter circuit and configured to control operation of the three-level buck converter circuit between a three-level buck converter mode and a two-level buck converter mode. The three-level buck converter circuit generally includes a first switch, a second switch coupled to the first switch via a first node, a third switch coupled to the second switch via a second node, a fourth switch coupled to the third switch via a third node, a first capacitive element coupled between the first node and the third node, and an inductive element coupled between the second node and an output node.

Abstract: Techniques and apparatus for current-based transitioning between a buck converter mode and a charge pump mode in an adaptive combination power supply circuit. One example power supply circuit generally includes a switching regulator and control logic coupled to the switching regulator. The control logic is generally configured to compare an indication of a current associated with the switching regulator to a threshold and to control a transition of the switching regulator between a buck converter mode and a charge pump mode based on the comparison.
