Abstract
A high frequency, high efficiency, near field wireless charging system and interface for battery-powered wearable devices are provided. A number of various magnetic core, multi-winding transmitter coil, receiver coil configurations may be used with the transmitter coils generating a charge voltage at the receiver coils through magnetic flux. In some configurations, a buck-boost assisted transmitter, or a buck-boost split between transmitter and receiver charging system may be used. In other configurations, a switch-cap boost block on the transmitter side may be used to increase efficiency. In yet other configurations, a dual path charging system (e.g., for smart glass temples) or a dual transmitter—single receiver charging system with buck-boost or switch-cap blocks may be used. The transmitter-receiver pair configurations may also be used to charge a battery module to be inserted into a wearable device.
