Auto-Resonant Detection Method for Optimized ZVS Operation in IPT Systems With Wide Variation of Magnetic Coupling and Load

In wireless charging systems, the H-bridge converter's switching frequency is set close to the system's natural resonance for achieving optimized zero voltage switching (ZVS). Variations to the system's natural resonance are commonly tracked by following the changes in the resonant current's polarity, i.e., current zero-crossings. The main...

Auto-resonant Control of the H-Bridge Resonant Converter for Inductive Power Transfer Applications

In inductive power transfer applications that use resonant compensation networks, the commonly employed H-bridge inverter should be kept operating in soft-switching to ensure high power efficiency and low irradiated electromagnetic noise. To achieve so, the zero-crossing detection circuit for the resonant current or voltage must be fast and...
