  • Patent number: 10658857
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a power management circuit and a mobile terminal having a first switch for blocking current. The first switch blocks an input of an external power supply in a case that a predetermined load operates in a large current/voltage mode. A bi-directional DC converter boosts a battery voltage and supplies it to the load. Thus, the circuit is simplified and the number of components is reduced for power management.

  • Patent number: 9843210
    Abstract: A method for transmitting data and a wireless charging equipment using the same are disclosed. When the wireless charger transmits data, an output current of the wireless charger is controlled at a preset current value so that there is a higher variation in amplitude of a current or a voltage on an inductive element to thereby enable a signal receiver to demodulate the signal. At the end of data transmission, the output current is resumed consistent with a driving current of the load at the moment. The present disclosure can address the problem of impossible normal communication in the wireless charger at the circumstance of a very low driving current of the load without any increase in cost and complexity of the circuit.
