  • Patent number: 11063443
    Abstract: A resonance-type contactless power supply has the characteristic that an inductor current has a maximum value when it operates at a resonance frequency. Sampling values of the inductor current in two successive cycles are compared with each other. A frequency of an inverter circuit is adjusted in a manner the same as that in a previous cycle in a case that the inductor current increases, and is adjusted in a manner opposite to that in the previous cycle in a case that the inductor current decreases. Thus, the resonance-type contactless power supply can be properly tuned without the need for zero-crossing detection.
