Abstract: Enhanced reverse boosting detection in a wireless charging scheme is disclosed. In some implementations, a minimum mid-level input voltage regulation (VMID_MIN regulation) loop is provided to regulate an input voltage from a wirelessly coupled power source when a mid-level of the input voltage falls below a predetermined threshold. The input voltage is provided to a buck converter within a wireless charging receiver. An input missing poller signal generator is provided to generate an input missing poller (IMP) signal if the VMID_MIN regulation loop becomes active and the buck converter has entered a discontinuous mode.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to methods and apparatus for charging a device. Some example methods for charging a device generally include providing power from a first device to a second device, the second device being configured for electrical connection with the first device via a cable. For example, a method may include transmitting a signal comprising one or more parameters associated with the first device to the second device, receiving a signal at the first device via a pin designated for a configuration channel, the signal indicating at least one of a requested charging voltage or a requested charging current based on the one or more parameters, and outputting power from the first device to the second device based on the signal.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for limiting the power drawn by a battery charger based on monitoring of the input voltage and input current supplied to the battery charger from a power supply. In certain aspects, a method generally includes sensing an output voltage of the power supply, wherein the output voltage of the power supply is variable. The method further includes sensing an output current of the power supply. The method further includes providing the output voltage and output current to a battery charger. The method further includes generating a control signal indicative of a scaling of the output current based on a scaling factor, wherein the scaling factor is based on the output voltage. The method further includes providing the control signal to the battery charger to control the output current supplied by the power supply to the battery charger.
