Abstract: A controller for controlling a multi-phase power conversion system includes a pulse width modulation (PWM) comparator configured to generate a PWM signal based on a ramp signal, a voltage reference signal and a feedback voltage from the power conversion system. A circuit may be configured to generate, based on the PWM signal, PWM signals by delaying the PWM signal with different delay times, and feed the PWM signals to respective switching power converters of the multi-phase power conversion system, to regulate an output voltage of the power conversion system. Each switching power converter may include a control circuit configured to adjust a pulse width of a received PWM signal based on a reference current and an output current of a corresponding switching power converter, to generate an adjusted PWM signal, based on which, an output voltage of the corresponding switching power converter is regulated.

Abstract: A control circuit is configured to control a switched capacitor converter to operate in a pulse frequency modulation (PFM) mode. The control circuit includes a one-shot circuitry configured to generate a one-shot pulse to drive the switched capacitor converter to operate in the PFM mode. A PFM mode comparator is coupled to the one-shot circuitry, and is configured to trigger, based on an output voltage of the switched capacitor converter, the one-shot circuitry to generate the one-shot pulse. The switched capacitor converter may be controlled to enter or exit the PFM mode operation based on a trailing current of a flying capacitor of the switched capacitor converter, an output current of the switched capacitor converter, a charging time duration of the flying capacitor when the switched capacitor converter is operating in the PFM mode, or a PFM switching period of the switched capacitor converter operating in the PFM mode.

Abstract: In an embodiment method, an envelope voltage of a resonant capacitor of a wireless power receiver in a wireless charging system may be detected at an output node. One or more parameters of the wireless power receiver may be adjusted in order keep the envelope voltage within a pre-determined voltage range. The one or more parameters includes a capacitance across a receiving coil and the resonant capacitor, or a current of a sub-circuit connected between the output node and a ground. An amplitude shift keying (ASK) carrier signal may be detected at a wireless power transmitter of the wireless charging system and attenuated. A demodulated ASK signal may be generated from the attenuated ASK carrier signal based on peak values of the attenuated ASK carrier signal and a zero-crossing signal generated from the attenuated ASK carrier signal.
