  • Publication number: 20250202251
    Abstract: A method for operating a battery charging circuit is generally described. The method comprises obtaining a fault condition value and determining that a fault condition is present. The method further comprises setting a freeze signal to a first value based on the determination that the fault condition is present and outputting the freeze signal to a loop control circuit that is configured to inhibit a correction of a battery input current based on the freeze signal. The method further comprises re-obtaining the fault condition value and determining that the fault condition is not present. The method further comprises setting the freeze signal to a second value based on the determination that the fault condition is not present and outputting the freeze signal to the loop control circuit. The loop control circuit is configured to enable a correction of the battery input current based on the freeze signal.

  • Patent number: 12206253
    Abstract: Systems and methods for wireless power transfer systems are described. A controller can be coupled to a power rectifier configured to rectify alternating current power into direct current power. The power rectifier can include a first high side transistor, a second high side transistor, a first low side transistor, and a second low side transistor. The controller can be configured to selectively switch on one or more of the first high side transistor, the second high side transistor, the first low side transistor, and the second low side transistor to operate a wireless power receiver under one of a full bridge rectifier mode and a voltage doubler mode.

  • Patent number: 11336202
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for controlling a rectified voltage outputted by a rectifier circuit is described. In response to an occurrence of an overvoltage condition, an apparatus can regulate a gate-source voltage of a low-side switching element of the rectifier circuit to control the rectified voltage. The apparatus can include an operational amplifier that can compare a reference voltage and with a scaled voltage measured at a node between the low-side switching element and a high-side switching element of the rectifier circuit. The operational amplifier can output a voltage to regulate a gate-source voltage of a low-side switching element. The apparatus can further include a current sensor configured to sense current flowing through the low-side switching element. A power dissipation of the low-side switching element can be controlled based on the current being sensed by the current sensor.
