WIRELESS CHARGING USING TIME-DIVISION MULTIPLEXING
DRIVE
April 6, 2023
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for wireless charging using time-division multiplexing. In some implementations, a wireless charger is configured to concurrently charge multiple devices by providing power wirelessly to individual devices in different time periods. The wireless charger can perform time-division multiplexing by selectively directing the output of a single driver circuit to different power transfer coil segments at different times. The wireless charging sessions of multiple devices can be maintained by repeating a pattern of activating different power transfer coil segments one by one in successive time periods.
