  • Patent number: 10320448
    Abstract: In described examples, an inductive structure includes first and second inductive coils to conduct respective first and second common mode currents induced by a common mode transient between: a first ground coupled to a connection between the first and second inductive coils; and a galvanically isolated second ground.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 21, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 11, 2019
    Assignee: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED
    Inventors: Rajaram Subramonian, Gianpaolo Lisi, Swaminathan Sankaran, Bradley Allen Kramer, Gerard Socci
  • Patent number: 10033440
    Abstract: In described examples, an inductive structure includes a power coil and a data coil. The data coil is substantially centered within the power coil. A first portion of the data coil is for conducting current in a first direction. A second portion of the data coil is for conducting current in a second direction opposite the first direction. The first portion of the data coil is connected at a ground node to the second portion of the data coil. The power coil is for: receiving power without data; and outputting the received power without data.

  • Patent number: 9866283
    Abstract: A first inductive structure includes a data coil to transfer data by inductive coupling with a second inductive structure. First and second portions of the data coil are connected to one another at a center tap to conduct respective first and second common mode currents, induced by a common mode transient between: a first ground line coupled to the center tap; and a galvanically isolated second ground line of the second inductive structure.

  • Patent number: 9785159
    Abstract: A resonant power transfer system includes resonant circuitry (26) including an inductor coil (59) and a resonant capacitor (51) coupled to a first terminal (27) of the inductor coil, wherein the inductor coil and the resonant capacitor resonate to produce an excitation signal (IS) and a state variable signal (VCS1). Sub-sampling circuitry (30) samples first and second points of the state variable signal at a rate which is substantially less than the RF frequency of the state variable signal. Information recovery circuitry (32) produces a state variable parameter signal representing a parameter (A) of the state variable signal from information in the first and second sampled points. Control circuitry (38) produces a first control signal in response to the state variable parameter signal. Detection and optimization circuitry (41) produces a second control signal in response to the state variable parameter signal.
