  • Patent number: 11569687
    Abstract: A decoder for a wireless charging transmitter and a wireless charging transmitter using the same are provided in the present invention. In order to adapt the wide range of the received signal from the wireless charging receiver, which usually results in the error of the decode, the feedback circuit of the wireless charging transmitter is changed, so that the signal in a certain swing is amplified by an original gain, and the signal out of the certain swing is amplified by a limited gain. Therefore, the amplified signal is able to show the characteristic of the original received signal. Thus, the accuracy of decoding is increased.
