Claim 15:
16. A wireless charging receiver (RX) comprising:
a rectifier operatively coupled to a receive resonant circuit, the rectifier configured to output a direct current (DC) voltage in accordance with received energy received by the receive resonant circuit from a wireless charging transmitter (TX);
a non-transitory memory storage comprising instructions; and
one or more controllers in communication with the memory storage, wherein the one or more controllers execute the instructions to cause the wireless charging RX to:
detect that a voltage potential of an output of the rectifier has exceeded a boost mode threshold;
place the rectifier into a boost mode; and
detect that the voltage potential of the output of the rectifier, while operating in boost mode, has met a specified threshold, and based thereon, negotiate, with a wireless charging transmitter (TX), to initiate a power transfer.
