Patent number: 11658518Abstract: A wireless power circuit operable in transceiver mode and in Q-factor measurement mode includes a bridge rectifier having first and second inputs coupled to first and second terminals of a coil, and an output coupled to a rectified node. An excitation circuit coupled to the first terminal, in Q-factor measurement mode, drives the coil with a pulsed signal. A protection circuit couples the first terminal to a first node when in Q-factor measurement mode and decouples the first terminal when in transceiver mode. A controller causes the bridge rectifier to short the first and second terminals to ground during Q-factor measurement mode. A sensing circuit amplifies voltage at the first node to produce an output voltage, and in response to the voltage at the first node rising to cross a rising threshold voltage, digitizes the output voltage. The digitized output voltage is used in calculating a Q-factor of the coil.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2021Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: STMicroelectronics Asia Pacific Pte LtdInventors: Baranidharan Karuppusamy, Thet Mon Sann, Kien Beng Tan, Supriya Raveendra Hegde, Huiqiao He, Teerasak Lee

Publication number: 20230099911Abstract: A wireless power receiver includes a rectifier with first and second inputs coupled to first and second terminals of a receiver coil, and having a first output coupled to ground and a second output at which a rectified voltage is produced. A first switch is coupled between the second input and ground, and is controlled by a first gate voltage generated at a first node. A second switch is coupled between the first node and ground, and is controlled by a second gate voltage. The first gate voltage closes the first switch to couple the second input to ground when the rectified voltage is less than a threshold voltage, boosting the rectified voltage. The second gate voltage closes the second switch to cause the second gate voltage to be pulled to ground when the rectified voltage is greater than the threshold voltage, limiting the boosting of the rectified voltage.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2021Publication date: March 30, 2023Applicant: STMicroelectronics Asia Pacific Pte LtdInventors: Chee Weng CHEONG, Kien Beng TAN

Patent number: 11144149Abstract: A determination is made as to whether touch pressure data acquired from each of a plurality of touch pressure sensors is indicative of abnormal operation. If abnormal operation is indicated, the touch pressure data from each of the plurality of touch pressure sensors, except those touch pressure sensors having touch pressure data indicative of abnormal operation, is summed. Then, the sum is multiplied by a correction factor to produce a touch pressure output indicative of physical force applied to the plurality of touch pressure sensors.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2020Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: STMicroelectronics Asia Pacific Pte LtdInventors: Cam Chung La, Kien Beng Tan
