Abstract

A circuit includes power reception circuitry to convert an RF signal to a direct current signal for transmission to an energy storage device and/or an electronic device associated with the circuit. The circuit includes voltage regulator circuitry to regulate an output voltage of the circuit based on an internal state thereof. A method incudes receiving, by at least one antenna, the RF signal. The method includes converting, by the circuit coupled to the antenna, the RF signal to a direct current signal. The method includes transmitting the DC signal to the energy storage device and/or the electronic device. The method includes determining the internal state of the circuit. The method includes regulating the output voltage of the circuit based on the internal state. Embodiments enable the addition of wireless charging functionality to existing electronic devices without extensive internal and/or external redesign.
