ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING CHARGING CIRCUIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18107071 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING CHARGING CIRCUIT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device that includes a battery and a receive coil for wirelessly receiving power from an external power device. The device also includes a power management module that includes a rectifier circuit, a charging circuit, and a rectifying capacitor. The power management module generates a sync signal based on the current flowing in the rectifier circuit and controls the operation of switches in the charging circuit based on this sync signal.

  • The electronic device has a battery and a receive coil for wirelessly receiving power.
  • The power management module includes a rectifier circuit, a charging circuit, and a rectifying capacitor.
  • The rectifier circuit rectifies the current from the receive coil and provides an output terminal.
  • The charging circuit charges the battery using the output terminal of the rectifier circuit.
  • The power management module generates a sync signal based on the current in the rectifier circuit.
  • The sync signal controls the operation of switches in the charging circuit or their switching frequencies.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless charging of electronic devices.
  • Power management for portable devices.
  • Integration into smart home systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Eliminates the need for wired charging, providing convenience and flexibility.
  • Efficiently manages power flow from an external power device to the battery.
  • Enables wireless charging in various electronic devices.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Simplifies the charging process by eliminating the need for cables.
  • Provides a more efficient and reliable power management system.
  • Enhances the portability and usability of electronic devices.
  • Enables seamless integration into wireless charging infrastructure.
