Abstract:
A wireless charging system includes an electrical and/or electronic interconnect as first connector. The transmitter electronics are included in the first connector. The first connector is electrically connected to a second connector via a cable. The second connector includes a transmitter coil. The first connector, cable, and the second connector are form the transmitter portion of the wireless charging system. Information from a receiver is obtained by the first connector which demodulates and processes the information and based on the request from the receiver changes the impedance and switching frequency of a tank circuit of the transmitter coil. Efficiency of the wireless charging system is optimized while reducing the form factor.
