CONTROLLERS FOR WIRELESS POWER SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A high-resolution pulse-width modulation (HRPWM) controller comprising:
- a first channel having a first coarse_on register and a first coarse_off register;
a counter configured to determine a repetition rate for the first channel, wherein;
when a coarse_on value of the first coarse_on register and the counter are equal, the first channel is set “
active”
;
when a coarse_off value of the first coarse_off register and the counter are equal, the first channel is set “
inactive”
; and
a delay line configured to generate a set of delay locked waveforms offset by a fine resolution value;
a control module configured to select a delay locked waveform from the set of delay locked waveforms and apply the selected delay locked waveform to the first channel.

Abstract
The disclosure features high-resolution pulse-width modulation (HRPWM) controllers that can include a first channel having a first coarse_on register and a first coarse_off register and a counter configured to determine a repetition rate for the first channel. When a coarse_on value of the first coarse_on register and the counter are equal, the first channel can be set “active” and when a coarse_off value of the first coarse_off register and the counter are equal, the first channel can be set “inactive”. The controllers can include a delay line configured to generate a set of delay locked waveforms offset by a fine resolution value and a control module configured to select a delay locked waveform from the set of delay locked waveforms and apply the selected delay locked waveform to the first channel.

12. A method to generate a first HRPWM signal, the method comprising:
-
providing a first channel having a first coarse_on register and a first coarse_off register; comparing a coarse_on value of the first coarse_on register to a counter, the counter configured to determine a repetition rate for the first channel, wherein when the coarse_on value of the first coarse_on register and the counter are equal, the first channel is set “
active”
