SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUS FOR PARTIAL ELECTRONICS INTEGRATION IN VEHICLE PADS FOR WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER APPLICATIONS
First Claim
1. An apparatus for wirelessly receiving charging power, the apparatus comprising:
- a first enclosure including at least;
a receive coupler configured to generate an alternating current under the influence of an alternating magnetic field; and
a rectifier circuit configured to modify the alternating current to produce a direct current for output from the first enclosure to a controller circuit in a disparately located second enclosure.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus for partial electronics integration in vehicle pads for wireless power transfer applications are provided. In one aspect, an apparatus for wirelessly receiving charging power is provided. The apparatus comprises a first enclosure including at least a receive coupler configured to generate an alternating current under the influence of an alternating magnetic field in a first enclosure. The first enclosure further includes a rectifier circuit configured to modify the alternating current to produce a direct current for output from the first enclosure to a controller circuit in a disparately located second enclosure. The apparatus further comprises at least one direct current inductor configured to receive the direct current from the rectifier circuit. In some implementations, the apparatus further comprises the controller circuit in the second enclosure. The controller circuit is configured to selectively provide the direct current to a battery.
