Abstract

A method of foreign object detection by a wireless power delivery system is disclosed. A decaying coil voltage signal of a transmitting coil of the wireless power delivery system is detected. A first comparator is used to trigger a cycle count of the decaying coil voltage signal. When the first comparator triggers the cycle count, a second comparator is used to count a number of cycles of the decaying coil voltage signal. A quality factor (Q-factor) of the transmitting coil is determined based on the number of cycles of the decaying coil voltage signal, a reference signal of the first comparator, and a reference signal of the second comparator. Whether a foreign object is present is determined based on the Q-factor and a foreign object detection (FOD) threshold level.
