Now, will with reference to Figure 15 A, 15B and 15C, and it is described with reference to Figure 16 the details of a specific embodiment, Figure 15 A, 15B and 15C illustrate the exemplary circuit layout of the different piece of the first side as above or primary side, and figure 16 illustrates the exemplary circuit layout of the different piece of the second side.One of skill in the art will appreciate that the function of each circuit, thus whole circuit will not be described in detail, but but provide the detail of some part hereinafter.
In one embodiment, in primary side 410 (as shown in fig. 15), by printed circuit offer transmission coil 414 (TX_ANTENNAA1) being approximately 20mmx20mm by size being printed on PCB.Shown circuit comprises six layers of copper, and each layer all has the thickness of about 35 μm.One layer of signal of telecommunication being used to the 12V that carrying is provided by power stage (powerstage), and other five layers comprise four circles, 20 circles are used for transmission coil 414 altogether.In this embodiment, transmission coil 414 inductance provided is approximately 9 μ H (100kHz).Iron core (for example, it is possible to from the FerroxcubeInternationalHoldingB.V. PLT22/16/2.53C90 obtained) is attached to the rear portion of the coil of the inductance with about 13 μ H.
In one embodiment, the UCC25600 controller by being provided by Texas Instruments provides the control signal that coil 414 is controlled.The high voltage gate driver of the LM5101 by such as being provided by Texas Instruments provides the control to MOSFET half-bridge 412.
Identical above with regard to the embodiment described by primary coil or transmission coil 414, in one embodiment, receiving side 420 (as shown in figure 16) place, PCB prints receiving coil 424 (RX_ANTENNAA2).In one embodiment, in order to optimize the coupling between the two coil 414,424, their geometry (size and dimension) is substantially the same.But, in one embodiment, the ratio of the number of turn of secondary coil or receiving coil 424 and the number of turn of primary coil or transmission coil 414 is 1.2.In one embodiment, the number of turn of secondary coil 424 is 24, and the number of turn of primary coil is 20.
In one embodiment, transmission frequency is approximately 180kHz.
In this embodiment, in order to make the loss in commutator minimize, employing such as can from the NMUL1210 that SemiconductorComponentsIndustriesLLC (semiconductor device industry Co., Ltd) the obtains commutator made.The structure of four diodes generally used in rectification is replaced by two MOSFET coupled with two Schottky diodes, and they are all integrated in the encapsulation of 4x4mm.The output of commutator is filtered, and passes it to the step-down controller of 2MHz operation.This filtered signal is converted to be fixed on be approximately 5Vdc be adjusted voltage.Higher buck converter operation frequency allows the 2 μ H low-value inductor using height less than 1mm.Each element in these design elements allows inductive power transfer systems to be accommodated in less volume, and this is just required for the application.
As previously described, the output of receiving coil 424 is also used to extract the data transmitted by primary side.In one embodiment, the first order of communications portion comprises operational amplifier (U9) (such as, LM393DMR2G), input signal is differentiated by it, and is converted into the rectangular signal of the 0-5V of the frequency with the driving frequency equal to primary coil 414.Subsequently, this signal input value is had the monostable circuit (monostable) (U10:A) of the time cycle (timeperiod) of 2.7 μ s.Owing to the time cycle of monostable circuit is fixed, so when changing from the signal frequency of transmitter, also changing accordingly from the dutycycle (theratioofthecycle) of the signal of monostable circuit output.
One-level (U11:B) below provides the low pass filter of about 10KHz, and it extracts the mean frequency value of the signal from monostable circuit output.Therefore, the output signal of U11 is directly proportional to the driving frequency of transmission coil 414.The final function provided by comparator (U9:B) is used as difference engine.The frequency instantaneous value of the signal exported by low pass filter and its meansigma methods are compared by it.
In a word, fast frequency changes the output state of comparator, and this output state is filtered by RC network R41/C35.Described system allows the frequency shift in the signal that primary side is transmitted simply to demodulate.
In order to correctly play a role, the frequency of the signal transmitted should be substantially higher than the cut-off frequency of the 1Hz of RC network (R41/C35), and is substantially lower than the cut-off frequency (10kHz) of the low pass filter of the output being positioned at transducer.
In order to avoid the vibration of comparator (U9:B), an input at comparator with the addition of small resistor (R46).The data exchange showing between transmitter and receptor visually is allowed at the LED (D9) of the outfan of comparator.
Finally, by making receiving coil 424 load according to the data signal that will transmit, provide and transmit from receptor 420 to the data of transmitter 410.This is performed by the resistor of controlled by MOSFET 22 ohm, and MOSFET self is controlled by the signal that will transmit.
In this embodiment, the data exchange between transmitter and receptor non-synchronously performs (that is, half-duplex).In one embodiment, this allows by lifting up for LED in every side of transmitter side and receiver-side, it is provided that the visualization carrying out data exchange is indicated.In this example, it is possible to the speed rates information of up to about 500 bits per seconds.
It is to be appreciated that provide the concrete of inductive power transfer systems to apply the obstacle providing huge under the entity of electrical panel system as described herein limits.Each also being able to of some design elements in multiple electrical design element described above contributes, thus allowing for this system.
Actual configuration also is able to contribute, thus allowing to provide this system among less volume.In one embodiment, various function described above module provides on five different PCB.
