  • Publication number: 20200274395
    Abstract: Provided is a wireless power receiving unit with a self-regulation rectifier. In one embodiment, the wireless power receiving unit includes a resonator configured to receive wireless power; and a self-regulation rectifier unit including a rectifier configured to apply a rectifier output voltage to a load by converting alternating-current (AC) power received from the resonator into direct-current (DC) power, and a switching device located at a rear end of the rectifier and configured to self-regulate the rectifier output voltage.

  • Publication number: 20200244236
    Abstract: Disclosed are a zero voltage switching control device of an amplifier, and a wireless power transmission device. The zero voltage switching control device, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises: a switch voltage detection unit which, when a first switch of an amplifier is turned on, detects a drain voltage and generates a switching voltage; an error amplification unit which receives the switching voltage as an input and amplifies an error by comparing the switching voltage with a reference voltage; a loop filter which receives an output voltage of the error amplification unit as an input, and outputs a control voltage; and a duty control unit which, according to the control voltage, controls a duty of a first switch driving signal so that the first switch undergoes zero voltage switching.

  • Patent number: 10714981
    Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus for protecting a wireless communication device and a wireless communication device comprising the same. The protection apparatus according to one embodiment comprises: a determination unit for detecting a power supply voltage of a wireless communication device for wirelessly transmitting and receiving a signal by generating a magnetic field or reacting therewith, and determining a wireless charging state from the outside when an increase in the power supply voltage, which is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, is detected; and a protection unit for protecting the wireless communication device from a power signal for wireless charging when the wireless charging condition is determined through the determination unit.

  • Patent number: 10320239
    Abstract: A wireless power receiver is disclosed. The wireless power receiver comprises: a resonance tank for receiving magnetic resonance-type wireless power; a rectifier including a diode bridge and a first switch connected to both ends of any one diode for forming the diode bridge, so as to rectify wireless power received by the resonance tank and supply the rectified wireless power to a load; and a controller controlling the first switch so as to operate the rectifier as a full-wave rectifier or a half-wave rectifier.

  • Patent number: 10236941
    Abstract: Disclosed are a single antenna-based wireless charging and near field communication control apparatus and a user terminal therefor. A single antenna-based wireless charging and near field communication control apparatus according to one embodiment comprises: a switch control unit for detecting a resonance frequency from an input signal of a rectifier in a power receiver and determining whether the detected resonance frequency is a first frequency for wireless charging using a single antenna or a second frequency for near field communication using a single antenna, to generate a control signal; and a switch which is turned on/off for wireless charging or near field communication according to the received control signal from the switch control unit.
