TIME-MULTIPLEXING RESONANT DRIVE SCHEME TO GENERATE DUAL POLARITY SUPPLIES

A time-multiplexing resonant drive scheme is described that reuses an inductor circuit for multiple functional purposes in a Mixed Reality (MR) device. A driver circuit and a multiplexer circuit are dynamically configured by a controller circuit for three operating modes. In the first mode, energy is coupled from a battery to the inductor circuit in a forward direction to charge the inductor circuit and generate a positive power supply voltage. In the second mode, energy is coupled from to the inductor circuit in a reverse direction to charge the inductor circuit and generate a negative power supply voltage. In the third mode, the inductor is operated with an antenna as part of a resonance drive circuit, where facial movements of the user can be detected based on the response. Reduced component count and reduced cost requirements are achieved by the described scheme.
