Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for controlling voltage in a wireless power receiver. A wireless power receiver may comprise an electromagnetic coil configured to receive a current induced by a magnetic flux generated by a wireless power transmitter and a comparator configured to compare a voltage generated by the induced current to a threshold voltage indicating a capability of circuitry coupled to the wireless power receiver. In the event the voltage generated by the induced current exceeds the threshold voltage, the voltage may be limited to a safe value.
