Power supplying device and wireless power-supplying system
First Claim
1. A power-supplying device for wirelessly transmitting alternating current (AC) power to a power-receiving device, the power-supplying device comprising:
- a voltage converter;
an inverter circuit connected to the voltage converter;
a communication unit configured to receive an output value of a rectification circuit provided in the power-receiving device from the power-receiving device;
a switching control unit configured to control the inverter circuit so that the inverter circuit converts direct current (DC) power into AC power and control whether the voltage converter steps up an input voltage or not based on whether an output value of the voltage converter or an output value of the rectification circuit reaches a specific value,wherein the switching control unit is configured to control only the inverter circuit when the output value of the voltage converter or the output value of the rectification circuit reaches the specific value according to the control of only the inverter circuit, andwherein, when the output value of the voltage converter or the output value of the rectification circuit has not reached the specific value according to the control of only the inverter circuit, the switching control unit is configured to control the voltage converter such that the voltage converter steps up the input voltage.
