Title:
LIMITATION OF VAMPIRIC POWER CONSUMPTION WITH DECOUPLING OF AN INDUCTIVE POWER APPARATUS AND AN ALTERNATING CURRENT POWER SOURCE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/003148
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Several methods and systems to perform limitation of vampiric power consumption with decoupling of an inductive power apparatus and an alternating current power source is disclosed. In an embodiment, an inductive battery charging system includes an inductive power apparatus that provides power to a target load when the inductive power apparatus is coupled to an alternating current power source. The system further includes an observation circuit to determine a power consumption associated with the target load, and a detection circuit to determine when a power consumption reaches a threshold level. The system also includes a separation circuit to decouple the inductive power apparatus and the alternating current power source when the power consumption is lower than a threshold level to limit vampiric power consumption of the inductive power apparatus.
