The wireless power transmitting device and wireless power receiving device may include control circuitry that measures operating parameters. During wireless power transmission operations, the wireless power receiving device may periodically send feedback to the wireless power transmitting device such as in-band wireless power adjustment commands requesting that the wireless power transmitting device adjust the amount of power being transmitted from the wireless power transmitting device to the wireless power receiving device. Faster estimates of desired adjustments to the amount of transmitted power can be made by the wireless power transmitting device using real-time measurements of wireless power transmitting device coil current and wireless power transmitting device coil voltage.

Abstract: A wireless power receiving device has a coil that receives wireless power signals from a wireless power transmitting device and has a rectifier that produces direct-current power across rectifier output terminals using the received wireless power signals.

In-band data is transmitted by modulating one or more transistors that are coupled to the coil and other wireless power receiving circuitry in series with one or more capacitors and is transmitted by modulating current flow through a ballast transistor or other adjustable load that is coupled across the rectifier output terminals.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a system and a method to limit (i.e., regulate) the input power of a power converter as a function of the voltage and/or loading condition of a power-limited source such as a battery. In some embodiments, the power converter may comprise a transconductance amplifier that may produce a sink current to a current mirror, which in turn that may provide an adjusted current limit threshold to the power converter. The power converter may utilize the current limit threshold to perform cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thus regulating the input power drawn from the battery.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method, system and non-transitory program storage device for protecting a power converter from overvoltage conditions in wireless power transfer. In some embodiments, the power converter may use a controllable current sink to discharge an output voltage of the power converter's receiver so as to maintain the output voltage below an overvoltage threshold. In some embodiments, a peak current of the current sink may be controlled as a function of the output voltage. In some embodiments, the current sink may be enabled and/or disabled according to a duty cycle and a frequency, wherein the frequency may be maintained beyond an audible range. In some embodiments, the power converter may bypass the receiver responsive to the output voltage exceeding a limit, thus effectively disabling the power transfer from a transmitter to the receiver.

Abstract: A wireless power transmitting device transmits wireless power signals to a wireless power receiving device using a wireless power transmitting coil. The wireless power receiving device has a rectifier and a wireless power receiving coil that receives wireless power signals. The rectifier supplies an output power to a battery charger integrated circuit. The wireless power transmitting device measures input power supplied to an inverter. The inverter supplies drive signals to the wireless power transmitting coil with a duty cycle. The transmitting device uses information on the input power, output power, and a power level demanded by the battery charger integrated circuit to make duty cycle adjustments. The duty cycle adjustments are used to identify a duty cycle setting at which the input power is minimized while the power demanded by the battery charger integrated circuit is satisfied by the output power.

A switch is coupled between the output terminal of the amplifier and an input terminal of the compensation network. The transient response of the controller is improved by operating the controller in a closed loop compensation configuration during a continuously pulsing operating mode and in an open loop compensation configuration during a pulse skip operating mode.
