  • Publication number: 20130082649
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a wireless charging system that includes a transmission device including a primary coil and a reception device including a secondary coil, wherein the transmission device detects an input signal provided from the primary coil to generate an output signal in the form of a pulse, and compares the level of the generated output signal with a reference voltage to generate a detection signal for determining the presence or absence of the reception device. The wireless charging system does not require an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), eliminating the necessity of using an ADC chip or a high-priced control circuit including an ADC block, thus reducing a material cost of the system. In addition, since the wireless charging system does not require a software algorithm for processing an ADC signal, the performance can be improved.
