    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a contactless card including an actuation security structure that is actuated to provide authorization in accessing identifying information on an integrated circuit within the contactless card. In at least one embodiment, the actuation security structure includes a pair of conductive layers and a pair of electrodes. Ends of the pair of conductive layers overlap respective ones of the pair of electrodes. The ends of the pair of conductive layers are at and in a first elastically deformable region and the respective ones of the pair of electrodes are at and in a second elastically deformable region. An owner of the contactless card may provide authorization to access the identification information on the contactless card by applying force to both the first and second elastically deformable regions inward resulting in the ends of the conductive layers moving into electrical communication with the pair of electrodes.

    Abstract: A wireless power receiver includes a rectifier with first and second inputs coupled to first and second terminals of a receiver coil, and having a first output coupled to ground and a second output at which a rectified voltage is produced. A first switch is coupled between the second input and ground, and is controlled by a first gate voltage generated at a first node. A second switch is coupled between the first node and ground, and is controlled by a second gate voltage. The first gate voltage closes the first switch to couple the second input to ground when the rectified voltage is less than a threshold voltage, boosting the rectified voltage. The second gate voltage closes the second switch to cause the second gate voltage to be pulled to ground when the rectified voltage is greater than the threshold voltage, limiting the boosting of the rectified voltage.

    Abstract: A wireless power receiving circuit includes a transistor based rectifier receiving an AC input voltage, and control logic receiving an overvoltage signal. The control logic generates control signals for controlling turn on of transistors within the transistor based rectifier based upon the overvoltage signal so as to cause the transistor based rectifier to produce a rectified output voltage from the AC input voltage. A comparator compares the rectified output voltage to a reference voltage and asserts the overvoltage signal if the rectified output voltage is greater than the reference voltage. In response to assertion of the overvoltage signal, the control logic asserts the control signals to simultaneously turn on all transistors of the transistor based rectifier.
