Transferring wireless power using a multiple pulse width modulation M-PWM driver signal includes generating the multiple PWM driver signal such that the pulse width varies in accordance with the magnitude of a periodic modulating curve. The M-PWM driver signal adjacent a zero-crossing of the periodic modulating wave is modified by reducing an interval between the zero-crossing and at least one pulse of the M-PWM driver signal closest to the zero-crossing. The modified M-PWM driver signal is used to open and close a switch in a wireless power transfer charging circuit.

Multiple and sinusoidal pulse width modulation for wireless charging

A wireless charger includes a plurality of charging units for charging wirelessly chargeable devices. Each charging unit includes one or more transmit coils for producing a wireless charging signal. Each charging unit also includes a driver circuit for driving the one or more transmit coils. The driver circuit is switchable according to a charging PWM duty cycle of that charging unit. Each charging unit is operable to perform a Q factor measurement by injecting excitation energy into the one or more transmit coils of that charging unit to produce a free resonance signal, and measuring a decay rate of the free resonance signal. Each charging unit is operable to alter its charging PWM duty cycle during a time window in which another charging unit of the wireless charger is performing a Q factor measurement.

Wireless charger, system and method

Apparatus and methods of providing digital varying output, such as sinusoidal, pulse width modulation, SPWM, control for an inverter comprising at least a first switch and a second switch are disclosed. The method comprising: generating a first binary control signal at a system modulation frequency; generating a second binary control signal at an M-times higher carrier frequency; wherein generating the second binary control signal comprises: providing a periodic counter having a K-times higher reset frequency; calculating M switch-off moments; determining for each, a corresponding switch-off counter value and a corresponding counter sequence value; storing each switch-off counter value in a respective memory location corresponding to the respective counter sequence and dummy values in the remaining memory locations; and sequentially and periodically transferring the contents of the memory locations to at least one PWM value register.
