  • METHOD FOR MANAGING CONTACTLESS POWER TRANSFER FROM A TRANSMITTER TO A RECEIVER, AND CORRESPONDING TRANSMITTER
    Publication number: 20160372934
    Abstract: Contactless power transfer from a transmitter to a receiver is managed. A magnetic field is generated by the transmitter from a command at a control frequency for a switching resonant circuit. The receiver communicates information to the transmitter through modulation of the magnetic field. The modulation is detected by the transmitter so as to extract the information. An adjustment of the control frequency is then made according to the received information. The modulation detection involves detecting variations in the control frequency.

  • METHOD FOR POWERING A MODULE INCORPORATED WITHIN A SYSTEM-ON-A-CHIP AND CORRESPONDING ELECTRONIC DEVICE
    Publication number: 20160327970
    Abstract: A module incorporated within a system-on-a-chip operating in a steady-state power supply phase is powered by supplying to the module a regulated power supply voltage obtained from a feedback control loop. The receives a main power supply voltage and a negative feedback voltage. The negative feedback voltage is generated inside the system-on-a-chip starting from an effective supply voltage of the module and from a setpoint signal corresponding to a desired regulated power supply voltage.
