Abstract:
A rectifier circuit is coupled to a reception coil, and generates a rectified voltage. A charger circuit receives the rectified voltage, and charges a secondary battery. A modulator coupled to the reception coil modulates a voltage or a current applied to the reception coil based on a control value, and transmits a control packet including the control value to a wireless power transmitter. A charging control unit controls a charging current supplied from the charger circuit to the secondary battery. A power control unit generates a control error value indicating a power transmission rate for the wireless power transmitter, based on the difference between the present rectified voltage and its target value, and outputs the control error value as the control value to the modulator. When the absolute value of the difference is smaller than a predetermined threshold value, the charging control unit changes the charging current.
