Abstract: Techniques for improving efficiency of wireless power transfer to shunt-based receiver are provided. In an example, techniques can optimize wireless power transfer by comparing instantaneous peak voltage of a transmit coil of a wireless power transmitter to an average peak voltage of the transmit coil, and then, based on the comparison, adjust a setpoint of the wireless power transmitter to a more efficient level.

Abstract: For inductor-based DC-DC converters, a current shunt switch can provide an alternate path for the inductor current to flow that does not include the output capacitor. An amplifier circuit can be included and coupled with a control node of the current shunt switch to adjust a voltage on the control node to control an amount of inductor current diverted away from the output node. A fast linear loop can be included to ensure smooth transitions when engaging or disengaging the current shunt switch. These techniques can minimize the amount and duration of the subsequent negative output voltage excursion, which can be dependent on the specific ESL and ESR values of the output voltage capacitor, for the cases when the final value of the step-down load-transient is not zero. These techniques can improve a positive output voltage response caused by an output load transient in the negative direction.

Abstract: A voltage regulator circuit comprises a switching circuit configured to adjust a switching duty cycle to regulate an output voltage at an output node of the voltage regulator circuit using an error signal representative of a difference between a target voltage value and the output voltage; an inductor coupled to the switching circuit and configured to provide an inductor current to the output node; and a shunt circuit coupled in parallel to the inductor and configured to divert the inductor current away from the output node when the output voltage exceeds a specified maximum output voltage.

Abstract: An ultra low power adder with sum synchronization which provides a power reduction method in the binary carry propagate adders by using a carry skip technique. The invention eliminates glitches at the adder outputs by preventing signal transitions at the sum outputs until the corresponding carry signals have reached their final values, which is achieved by adding a synchronization circuitry to the sum calculation path.
