摘要:
A multi-mode multi-coupling multi-protocol wireless power transmitter (WPT) and its embodiments transmit power to a wireless power receiver (WPR) in a power transfer mode (PTM) and a wireless power protocol (WPP) of the WPR. A first circuit of the WPT includes inductors or capacitors emanating power via a magnetic field or electric field PTM respectively. The WPT sequentially parses a test condition to identify a PTM, a power coupling linkage (PCL) between the WPT and the WPR, and a WPP of the WPR. The WPT identifies a match if the PTM of the first circuit and the WPP of the switch network, the variable matching circuit, a modulator/demodulator block or an out-of-band communication block, and a control logic circuit of the WPT match the PTM and the WPP of the WPR to transmit power to the WPR based on the match.

A dual mode wireless power receiver (DMWPR) selectively applying a received power to a load device and utilizing at least a part of the power to power-up, communicate, and charge a secondary wireless power receiver (SWPR) is provided. The DMWPR includes a first circuitry having an impedance network, a switch network, a filter capacitor, and one or more switches, and a second circuitry having a security engine, a control logic circuit, and a modulator/demodulator circuit. The first circuitry receives power in charging mode and transmits power in communication mode. The second circuitry configures the first circuitry to allow receipt and transmission of power, receives and interprets data from SWPR in the identified wireless power protocol, and based on the type of SWPR authenticates, decrypts, and encrypts data transfer between DMWPR and SWPR, and receives and executes on a request from SWPR to perform a function associated with transmitted power.
摘要:
A method and system for self-regulating wireless power transmitted to a wireless power receiver (WPR) is provided. An auto-tuning network is operably coupled within the WPR. The auto-tuning network comprises an impedance network that dynamically increases, decreases, or maintains amount of the received wirelessly transmitted power by detecting changes in a rectifier load disposed in the WPR and/or in an output voltage of the rectifier in the WPR. The auto-tuning network self-regulates the wireless power received from a wireless power transmitter (WPT) obviating the need for conventional communication messages. The WPT is hence free from a modulator/demodulator block and an out-of-band communication block and can operate over a limited operating range to enable simpler design for passing EMC regulation. Additionally, the WPR implements a receiver-maximum power-signature algorithm for enabling the WPT to detect unsupported receivers, configure its operating point and range, and terminate power transmission when not needed by WPR.

A wireless power system (WPS) has a wireless power transmitter (WPT) that appraises an input power available to a power inverter from one or more input power sources. The WPT comprises the power inverter that wirelessly transmits power to a wireless power receiver (WCR) of the WPS, and a power appraiser circuit (PAC). The PAC ascertains maximum input power available to the power inverter from the input power sources. The PAC includes a variable load connected to a path carrying the input power to the power inverter or one or more input pins that receive power ratings of the input power sources that indicate available maximum input power from the input power sources. The ascertaining of maximum input power available to the power inverter from the input power sources appraises the input power available to the power inverter. The WCR receives information representing maximum power deliverable by the WPT.

A wireless power charger (WPC) integrated into a charging pad (CP) includes a wireless power transmitter (WPT), a location sense mechanism (LSM), a transport mechanism (TM) and a Central Control Unit (CCU). The LSM discovers and conveys the position of a portable device to the CCU when the device is placed on the CP to have its battery wirelessly charged. The LSM uses RF signaling and other capabilities in wireless connectivity standards to detect location of device. With information from the LSM, the CCU, via the TM, moves the WPTM in close proximity to the device. Once at the device position, the WPTM senses the location of the receiver coil in the device, adjusts its position via the TM to gain strong alignment and provides power wirelessly. When charging is complete or if the device is removed from the charging pad, the WPTM returns to its home-base location.

A wireless power transmitter (WPT) including a first, second, third circuit and a transmit coil for wirelessly delivering power to a wireless power receiver (WPR) including a receiver coil, rectifier, impedance network, protection circuitry, control logic, modulator/demodulator and ADC is provided. A method that enables WPT and WPR to deliver the required power to the WPR's downstream load in planar, orthogonal and intermediate modes of WPR placement on WPT is provided. The WPR is integrated into the strap/frame or in the vital area of the device. To avoid a heated metal object safety issue, the WPT implements a metal object detect algorithm to detect metal objects and terminate transmission of power. To protect their circuitry from induced voltage spikes in excess of acceptable levels, the WPR includes a simple protection circuitry that naturally turns on and siphons out the excess power when the acceptable threshold levels are exceeded.
