Attached Figure Description

[0032] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a fast charging system including a wireless power transmitter chip, as described in this invention.

[0033] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a fast charging system including another wireless power transmitter chip according to the present invention;

[0034] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of the wireless power safety verification process of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0035] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. The present invention covers any substitutions, modifications, equivalent methods, and solutions made within the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0036] To provide the public with a thorough understanding of the present invention, specific details are described in detail in the following preferred embodiments of the invention, but those skilled in the art can fully understand the invention without these details.

[0037] The invention is described in more detail below by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the drawings are in a simplified form and use non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of the invention.

[0038] A wireless charging system has a base station with one or more transmitting modules. These modules are powered by an AC-to-DC inverter and transmit the power to a receiver in the mobile device via strongly coupled inductor pairs. The amount of power transmitted to the mobile device is controlled by the wireless power receiver by sending communication packets to the transmitting modules to increase, decrease, or maintain the power level. Communication from the receiver to the transmitter is purely digital, consisting of 1s and 0s. Communication between the transmitter and receiver is achieved via Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) modulation on the power signal, while the communication protocol between the receiver and transmitter uses Frequency Shift Keying (ASK).

[0039] A key feature of wireless charging systems is that the transmitter module remains in standby mode when not supplying power. The transmitter stays in standby and periodically pings until a receiver is detected. Once an extended power receiver is detected, an authentication process begins. Successful authentication allows the transmitter module to provide up to 15W of output power; otherwise, it provides only 5W or no power. If a reference power receiver is present, the transmitter module will only provide 5W of output power.

[0040] Figure 1 This invention provides a schematic diagram of a fast charging system using a wireless power transmitter chip. The system includes a transmitter module, a coil device, and a receiver module. The transmitter module comprises a wireless communication module and a wireless power transmitter chip. The receiver module includes a wireless power receiver chip, a main control chip, and a wireless communication module. The main control chip in the receiver module can be an MCU, microprocessor, or micrologic controller responsible for information processing, control, and authentication. The wireless power receiver chip receives AC energy through a receiving coil, controls system efficiency, and transmits the rectified and filtered DC power to a downstream voltage adjustment circuit (not shown in the diagram). The wireless communication devices in both the transmitter and receiver modules are used for information transmission. Additionally, some circuit devices in the transmitter and receiver modules are not shown in the diagram. For example, the transmitter module includes an AC / DC converter, and the receiver module includes a power supply circuit to power the receiver module.

[0041] The wireless power transmitter chip in this solution integrates identity authentication and fast charging protocol functions. It incorporates multiple sets of security authentication algorithms and fast charging protocol algorithms, including PD, QC, FCP, SCP, and VOOC fast charging protocols, and multiple sets of security verification algorithms, including AES, DES, 3DES, and RSA verification algorithms. This wireless power transmitter chip can integrate the latest and most commonly used fast charging protocols and security verification algorithms, selecting at least one set for identity authentication and fast charging protocol authentication as needed. This invention significantly improves chip integration, reduces power consumption, lowers costs, and simplifies the layout and wiring of the transmitter module, resulting in a smaller PCB area. Because fast charging protocols and identity authentication functions are integrated within the chip, software development difficulty is reduced, software compatibility is improved, and code is easier to maintain.

[0042] The wireless power transmitter chip illustrated in the diagram includes an MCU, which controls the various modules of the wireless transmitter chip. It can be an 8-bit MCU or a 32-bit processor, preferably a 32-bit ARM core or RISC-V core processor for better performance. It has built-in encryption and decryption algorithms for mutual authentication with the receiving module, including identity authentication and fast charging protocol authentication. It mainly consists of an elliptic curve algorithm module (ECC-256), a secure hash algorithm module (SHA-256), and a pseudo-random number generator module (PRNG), which can realize functions such as elliptic curve key pair generation and digital signature operation, SHA-256 hash value generation, and pseudo-random number generation.

[0043] The Security NVM is used to store digital certificates and keys. To prevent intrusion attacks from reading the contents of the memory through test probes, a physical protection layer (preferably a metal shielding layer) is added to the top layer of the memory. To prevent non-intrusive attacks through power consumption analysis and other attack methods, the memory bus is scrambled to prevent the address and data buses from being intercepted. The Security NVM is a non-volatile memory, and its type can be multiple-programmable memory (MTP), flash memory, or electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM).

[0044] An anomaly detection module is used to detect chip faults. In cryptography, attacks can be performed by injecting one or more faults into a device, thereby disrupting its functional behavior. Common techniques for fault injection include introducing changes in source voltage, clock frequency, temperature, or laser beam irradiation. The anomaly detection module of this invention is used to detect various threats belonging to Fault Injection Attacks (FIA): 1) Input clock frequency (clock fault, overclocking): shortening the clock cycle to induce critical path conflicts. 2) Input voltage (power supply fault, insufficient power): reducing the power supply voltage to increase the propagation delay of combinational logic. 3) Temperature (heating): modifying the temperature to increase propagation delay. 4) Radiation (laser spot, light spot, electromagnetic): setting or resetting bits in the radiation trigger register. 5) Light detection (open cover detection): based on an embedded dual-gate CMOS light sensor, an alarm signal is triggered when the chip package is opened. The anomaly detection module converts all monitored environmental changes inside the chip into electrical signals, which are then measured. When a threat is detected, it provides the system with a measured threat level and issues a hardware alarm to the logic controller. The logic controller then activates the corresponding protection mode based on the alarm level. If the alarm signal is of the highest level, the key and digital certificate stored in the security memory will be cleared to prevent the key from being stolen. This module can detect various anomalies, including: clock failure attack detection, watchdog timer underfeed attack detection, power failure attack detection, temperature attack detection, electromagnetic fault injection (EMFI) attack detection, laser fault injection attack detection, and open-lid detection.

[0045] The modulation and demodulation module includes an amplitude shift keying (ASK) decoding circuit, a pulse width modulation (PWM) generator, and a frequency shift keying (FSK) modulation circuit. The intraband transmission method of the wireless charging system via the modulation and demodulation module is as follows: the transmitting module decodes the digital information sent by the receiving module through the ASK decoding circuit, including authentication request information and energy transfer requirements; the transmitting module uses the FSK modulation circuit to load the communication signal and authentication result into the AC energy of the coil, and then transmits it to the receiving module. Through ASK decoding and FSK modulation, the transmitting and receiving modules achieve information transmission in a half-duplex communication mode.

[0046] According to the latest WPC Qi 1.3 protocol and fast charging protocol requirements, identity authentication needs to use digital signatures. This method requires the transmission of more digital information than previous authentication methods. Furthermore, in-band transmission suffers from poor anti-interference capabilities due to errors caused by electromagnetic coupling variations, load variations, carrier duty cycle variations, and measurement quantization. This invention introduces a window filtering algorithm into the traditional width-measurement FSK demodulation method, significantly improving the anti-interference capability of the width-measurement method and ensuring the accuracy of large-volume data transmission.

[0047] The receiver starts with an FM square wave and demodulates the information data based on the pulse frequency to complete the final link in the forward communication. The pulse width measurement demodulation method first captures the width of adjacent high (or low) levels based on the input signal, thus obtaining the width of each pulse. The frequency is then determined based on the width, and decoding is performed based on the frequency transitions and counting of the pulses. The window filtering algorithm, based on the determined frequency of each cycle, designs a window of a certain length. Within the window, the frequencies of the current cycle and several previous cycles can be observed. The effective frequency of the current cycle is determined based on the number of high and low frequencies within the window, thus enhancing the anti-interference capability of frequency state changes. Decoding is then performed based on the changes in the effective frequency state.

[0048] The communication between the wireless charging transmitter module and the wireless charging receiver module can be either in-band transmission (IB) or out-of-band transmission (OOB). Compared to in-band transmission, out-of-band transmission offers higher data rates and stronger anti-interference capabilities. Out-of-band transmission is achieved through a wireless communication module, which can be a Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Bluetooth LE, ZigBee, Near Field Communication (NFC), Ultra Wideband (UWB), or 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G module.

[0049] In addition, the PWM modulation method of wireless charging is implemented by a half-bridge converter (not shown in the figure). The PWM (changing duty cycle) adjustment control is achieved by the half-bridge converter driver circuit (H-Bridge Driver). The coil and capacitor form a series resonant circuit to maximize the wireless transmission power.

[0050] The wireless power transmitter chip of the present invention also includes modules not shown in the figure, such as a fast charging transceiver module (fast charging PHY), static random access memory (SRAM), internal bus (BUS), program memory, Q-value detection module (Q_Detect), interface circuit, half-bridge converter drive circuit, and power management module (PowerManagement).

[0051] This invention employs an internal single-bus architecture, where the logic controller communicates with SRAM, Program Memory, PRNG, Security Engine, fast-charging PHY, and Interface modules via a bus. The advantages of this architecture include: full utilization of IP technology, reducing product design complexity and development costs; single-chip integrated circuits effectively reducing system power consumption; reducing the number of external pins, simplifying system fabrication complexity; reducing signal transmission between peripheral driver interface units and circuit boards, accelerating data transmission and processing speed; and embedded circuitry reducing or even eliminating system signal crosstalk caused by circuit board signal transmission.

[0052] The Power Management module integrates a 5V buck chopper and 1.8V / 3.3V low dropout linear regulators (LDOs) to provide the different voltage sources required by the internal MCU and various functional modules.

[0053] When metallic objects such as coins, keys, and paperclips are exposed to an alternating magnetic field, eddy currents flowing through the object heat it. The heat generated depends on the amplitude and frequency of the magnetic field and the object's characteristics (such as resistivity, size, and shape). In any wireless power system, the heat generated by eddy currents manifests as power loss, reducing the overall efficiency of the system. If not properly managed, this heating can lead to unsafe situations. In extended power systems, there are two stages of foreign object detection (FOD). One is measuring the system's quality factor before entering the power transmission stage, and the other is measuring the power loss difference between the received and transmitted power during the power transmission stage.

[0054] Before entering the power transfer phase, when the wireless power receiver or a metal object is placed on its surface, the Q-detect module detects a change in the coil quality factor (Q factor). The transmitter module measures the Q factor and compares it to a reference Q factor provided by the receiver. If the difference is higher than the reference Q factor, the transmitter module identifies it as a FOD and shuts down the system. The second stage of foreign object detection involves continuously measuring the power loss difference between the received and transmitted power during power transfer and comparing it to a threshold specified in WPC-1.3. If the difference is higher than the threshold set by the WPC specification, the system will shut down to avoid overheating.

[0055] The fast charging transceiver module (fast charging PHY) integrates the physical layer and protocol stack of USB dual-phase mark-coded (BMC) power supply (fast charging 2.0 / 3.1 protocol), and can directly obtain high-power output from power adapters that support the fast charging protocol.

[0056] Program memory can be a mask ROM, an one-time programmable ROM, a multiple-programmable ROM (MTP ROM), or a flash ROM. With a mask ROM, the firmware is burned in during chip manufacturing and cannot be changed after the chip leaves the factory. With an OTP ROM, the firmware is burned in during final testing (FT) at the manufacturer and cannot be changed after the product is sold. MTP ROMs and flash ROMs can be erased and rewritten multiple times, allowing the manufacturer to modify the firmware according to customer needs.

[0057] like Figure 2 The diagram illustrates the principle of a fast charging system using another wireless power transmitter chip according to the present invention, which is similar to... Figure 1 The difference lies in the following: a separate encryption / decryption module is set up in the wireless power transmitter chip, with built-in authentication and encryption / decryption algorithms for identity authentication and fast charging protocol authentication. This module mainly consists of an elliptic curve algorithm module (ECC-256), a secure hash algorithm module (SHA-256), and a pseudo-random number generator module (PRNG), enabling functions such as elliptic curve key pair generation and digital signature operations, SHA-256 hash value generation, and pseudo-random number generation. Additionally, a logic controller is included, which can use a finite state machine to control the various modules within the wireless power transmitter chip. In this embodiment, the functions achieved by the separate encryption / decryption module and the logic controller are similar to... Figure 1 The MCU implements the same functions. If a separate MCU is used, the algorithm processing speed is slow and the power consumption is high, but the encryption and decryption algorithms can be flexibly selected as needed, and the information authentication steps can also be adjusted as required. If an encryption and decryption module is used, the logic controller has low requirements for computing power, while the encryption and decryption module is professionally designed for encryption and decryption algorithms, resulting in fast processing speed and low power consumption. However, information transmission and control are required between the logic controller and the encryption and decryption module, and the information authentication steps are fixed. But regardless of whether the encryption and decryption algorithm is built into the MCU or the encryption and decryption module is used, the wireless power chip of this invention does not require the addition of multiple communication ports.

[0058] like Figure 3The diagram illustrates the wireless fast charging security verification flowchart of the present invention. The wireless power transmitter chip of the present invention receives a certificate chain generated by an external system, such as an external server. This certificate chain is stored within the secure storage module of the present invention. The certificate chain consists of two parts: the first part is a WPC certificate chain, containing: a first certificate (the hash value of the WPC root certificate), a second certificate (the CA certificate of the product manufacturer), and a third certificate (the corresponding public authentication message information for each individual identified product (e.g., a wireless charging transmitter module). ECC-256 encryption is performed through the security authentication system, and each individual public authentication message can be uniquely paired with the private key of an individual identified product. The private key of an individual identified product can be used to encrypt or decrypt message data in a pair of electronic devices to be authenticated (e.g., the transmitter module and receiver module of a wireless charging device) using ECC-256. Such a certificate chain can be paired with the private key of the corresponding public authentication message.

[0059] The second part is the USB fast charging certificate chain, which includes: a first certificate: the hash value of the USB-IF root certificate; a second certificate: the CA certificate of the product manufacturer; and a third certificate: corresponding public authentication message information for each individual identified product (e.g., a fast charging transmitter module). ECC-256 encryption is performed through a secure authentication system, and each individual public authentication message can be uniquely paired with the private key of a single identified product. The private key of a single identified product can be used to encrypt or decrypt message data in a pair of electronic devices to be authenticated (e.g., a wireless charging transmitter module and receiver module) using ECC-256. This certificate chain can be paired with the private key of the corresponding public authentication message. Based on the above certificate chain, the wireless fast charging steps of the present invention are as follows:

[0060] Step S400: The authentication initiator (receiving module) initiates wireless fast charging identity authentication;

[0061] Step S401: The authentication initiator generates an ECDSA digital signature using (the initiator's private key, the message, and the random number);

[0062] Step S402: The authentication initiator initiates a wireless fast charging authentication request and sends (message, digital signature);

[0063] Step S403: The authentication responder (transmitter module) responds to the wireless fast charging authentication request and receives (message, digital signature);

[0064] Step S404: The authentication responder reads the public key of the authentication initiator stored in SecurityNVM;

[0065] Step S405: The authentication responder initiates Security Engine to perform ECDSA signature verification (authentication);

[0066] Step S406: If the signature verification fails, the authentication responder sends a wireless fast charging authentication failure message and sends power via BPP or does not send power.

[0067] Step S407: The authentication initiator receives the wireless fast charging authentication failure information and either receives BPP power or does not receive power;

[0068] Step S408: If the signature verification is successful, the authentication responder reads a digital certificate stored in the first part of the WPC certificate chain slot within SecurityNVM and sends it to the authentication initiator;

[0069] Step S409: Receive the WPC certificate public key from the server via the wireless communication module and receive a WPC digital certificate from the authentication responder;

[0070] Step S410: The authentication initiator performs ECDSA signature verification (identity verification);

[0071] Step S411: If the signature verification fails, the authentication initiator sends a request to receive the next WPC digital certificate;

[0072] Step S412: The authentication initiator determines whether it has received all certificates stored in the first part of the WPC certificate chain slot within the SecurityNVM; if not, it proceeds to S408 to continue receiving the next digital certificate from the first part of the WPC certificate chain slot. If yes, it proceeds to S421 to end the authentication initiator's authentication and wireless fast charging power transmission.

[0073] Step S413: Receive the fast charging certificate public key from the server via the wireless communication module and receive a fast charging digital certificate from the authentication responder;

[0074] Step S414: The authentication initiator performs ECDSA signature verification (identity verification);

[0075] Step S415: If the signature verification fails, the authentication initiator sends a request to receive the next fast charging digital certificate;

[0076] Step S416: The authentication initiator determines whether it has received all certificates stored in the second part of the fast charging certificate chain slot within SecurityNVM. If not, it proceeds to S417 to continue receiving the next fast charging digital certificate from the second part of the fast charging certificate chain slot. If yes, it proceeds to S421 where the authentication initiator ends authentication and wireless fast charging power transmission.

[0077] Step S417: If the signature verification is successful, the authentication initiator sends the wireless fast charging power configuration information.

[0078] Step S418: Receive wireless fast charging power configuration information;

[0079] Step S419: Adjust the power (change the charging capacity) to send power in EPP fast charging mode;

[0080] Step S420: Receive EPP fast charging power;

[0081] Step S421: End authentication and wireless fast charging power transmission.

[0082] Some steps are executed in the receiving module, while others are executed in the transmitting module. See the appendix for details. Figure 3 .

[0083] Once both fast charging authentication and wireless charging authentication are successful, the wireless power transmitter chip of this invention can obtain a higher voltage from the power adapter through the fast charging transceiver module to provide fast wireless charging power to the receiving module.

[0084] In addition, although the embodiments are described and illustrated separately above, some common technologies are involved, and those skilled in the art can replace and integrate them between the embodiments. If there is any content not explicitly described in one embodiment, then another embodiment that is described can be referred to.

[0085] The embodiments described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this technical solution. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the above embodiments should be included within the scope of protection of this technical solution.
