Coil driven switched capacitor and controller for wired and inductive charging
DRIVE
June 16, 2026
A coil driven switched capacitor (CDSC) converter can include at least one input coil that receives input power; first and second cascades of one or more CDSC cells, an input of each cascade being coupled to the at least one coil, and an output of each cascade being coupled to an output bus of the CDSC converter. The at least one input coil can include a first inductor coupled between a wired input power source and the first cascade of one or more CDSC cells and a second inductor coupled between the wired input power source and the second cascade of one or more CDSC cells. The at least one input coil can further include a wireless power receiver coil.
