  • Publication number: 20240030805
    Abstract: Discussed is a protection circuit for a direct current-direct current (DC-DC) converter, the protection circuit including a buck switch connected between a voltage input terminal and a first node, the buck switch being controlled by a switching cycle and a duty cycle of a switching signal, a buck inductor connected between the first node and a voltage output terminal, a buck capacitor connected between the voltage output terminal and a ground, and a buck diode connected between a second node and the ground. The protection circuit is connected to the first node, the second node and the ground. When the buck switch is switched between an On state and an OFF state according to the switching signal, the protection circuit is configured to supply a protection voltage between the first node and the ground so that voltage stress of the buck switch is smaller than an input voltage supplied between the voltage input terminal and the ground.

  • Publication number: 20230035811
    Abstract: A wireless charging system includes a first power receiving device connected in parallel to a first battery and including a first sub resonant circuit having a first resonant frequency, a second power receiving device connected in parallel to a second battery and including a second sub resonant circuit having a second resonant frequency, and a power transmitting device. The power transmitting device is for determining a charging order between the first battery and the second battery. The power transmitting device wirelessly transmits first alternating current (AC) power having the first resonant frequency to the first sub resonant circuit when the first battery is selected according to the charging order and wirelessly transmits second AC power having the second resonant frequency to the second sub resonant circuit when the second battery is selected according to the charging order.
