More Information
Summary:A power transmitter for wireless power transfer includes a control and communications unit configured to provide power control signals to a power supply external to the power transmitter for controlling a power level of a power signal configured for transmission to a power receiver, the power supply configured to configure a direct current (DC) power based on the power control signals. The power transmitter further includes an inverter circuit configured to receive the DC power from the power supply external to the power transmitter and convert the input power to a power signal. The power transmitter further includes a coil formed of wound Litz wire and including at least one layer, the coil defining, at least, a top face and shielding comprising a ferrite core and defining a cavity, the cavity configured such that the ferrite core substantially surrounds all but the top face of the coil.
