  • Publication number: 20230093515
    Abstract: A synchronous buck converter using a single gate drive control is provided and includes a drive circuit, a p-type gallium nitride (p-GaN) transistor switch module and an inductor. A gallium nitride power transistor is used as an upper side transistor switch, and a PMOS power transistor is used as a lower side transistor switch in the p-GaN transistor switch module. A gate of the upper side transistor switch and a gate of the lower side transistor switch are coupled to each other and receive a switch signal provided by the drive circuit at the same time. By controlling the on and off of the upper side transistor switch and the lower side transistor switch, the problem of simultaneous activation of the upper and lower side transistor switches can be avoided.

  • Patent number: 11569696
    Abstract: A control method of a minimum power input applicable to a wireless power transfer system including a power transmission unit and at least one power receiving unit is provided. The power transmission unit is electrically connected with a control voltage signal and an input voltage signal and accordingly generates the minimum power input. The power transmission unit transmits the minimum power input wirelessly through a wireless transmission to the at least one power receiving unit for receiving. By adjusting the input voltage signal, the duty ratio and resonant frequency of the control voltage signal, the present invention ensures an optimal power transmission efficiency of the wireless power transmission system. Moreover, parameters of a charge pump reservoir and gate driving circuit can be further designed in view of the trend feedback of its gate drive waveforms so as to optimize the effect of the proposed invention.

  • Publication number: 20220344975
    Abstract: An inductive resonant wireless charging system includes a resonant wireless charging transmitting device, a wireless charging relay device and an inductive wireless charging receiving device. The resonant wireless charging transmitting device transmits a high-frequency radio frequency wave. The wireless charging relay device receives the high-frequency radio frequency wave using an electromagnetic resonance way, and converts the high-frequency radio frequency wave into a low-frequency radio frequency wave to transmit the low-frequency radio frequency wave. The inductive wireless charging receiving device receives the low-frequency radio frequency wave in a manner of electromagnetic induction.

  • Patent number: 11387824
    Abstract: A voltage-controlled varied frequency pulse width modulator is provided, including a frequency-regulating voltage output device which receives a determining voltage, decides a resonant frequency according to the determining voltage and outputs an oscillation signal having the resonant frequency. A duty-ratio-regulating voltage output device receives the oscillation signal and a reference signal to determine a duty ratio through an inverting closed loop, so as to adjust the oscillation signal to have the duty ratio. By employing the proposed voltage-controlled modulator circuit with tunable frequency and varied pulse width of the present invention, a modulation signal having the determined resonant frequency and duty ratio is obtained. Moreover, the present invention can be further combined with gate drive waveform trend feedback designs to achieve superior power transmission efficiency of a wireless power transmission system to optimize the inventive effect of the present invention.
