Patent ID: 11936196

Abstract:
A magnetic inductive resonance charging circuit includes a resonant network having an inductive secondary coil that converts a magnetic field received from an inductive primary coil into an alternating current (AC) signal and a synchronous rectifier that rectifies the AC signal to generate a direct current (DC) signal for application to a load. The synchronous rectifier includes a variety of configurations for shunting the AC waveform of an AC current source in the event of a fault. For example, a rectifier controller may hold a pair of normally open switches of the rectifier off and a pair of normally closed switches of the rectifier on to shunt the AC current source when an over-voltage, over-current fault condition or an over-temperature fault condition is detected. Configurations are provided for grounding the capacitive electromagnetic interference produced in the chassis of an electric vehicle when the resonant network is unbalanced.
