[0114] In this application, "at least one" means one or more, and "plurality" means two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions refers to any combination of these items, including any combination of single items or plural items. For example, at least one of a, b, or c alone can represent: a, b, c, a and b, a and c, or a, b, and c, where a, b, and c can be single or multiple. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0115] The directions or positional relationships indicated by terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "left", "right", "front", and "back" are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.
[0116] The terms "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, the "connected" or "connected" of a circuit structure can refer to not only physical connection, but also electrical connection or signal connection. For example, it can be directly connected, that is, physically connected, or indirectly connected through at least one intermediate element, as long as the circuit is connected, or it can be the internal connection of two elements; signal connection can refer to signal connection through a circuit or through a media medium, such as radio waves. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

Specifically, according to the change rule of the voltage values of the first terminal AC1_1 and the second terminal AC2_1, as shown in FIG2, within one cycle, the process in which the voltage values of the first terminal AC1_1 and the second terminal AC2_1 do not change is called a non-dead zone process, and the process in which the voltage values of the first terminal AC1_1 and the second terminal AC2_1 change is called a dead zone process. In the non-dead zone process, the alternating conduction of the first rectifier branch and the second rectifier branch is controlled to convert the AC signal induced by the receiving end coil into a DC signal; in the dead zone process, the first rectifier branch and the second rectifier branch switch their states, and in this process, the power tubes in the first rectifier branch and the second rectifier branch are both in the off state.
[0121] In order to ensure the effect of ASK modulation, the related technology usually needs to use multiple off-chip capacitors, on-chip switches and chip pins, which increases the area of the ASK modulation chip and the cost of the overall circuit. If the area of the ASK modulation chip is reduced and the cost of the overall circuit is reduced by reducing the number of off-chip capacitors, on-chip switches and chip pins, the ASK modulation effect in some application scenarios will be poor.
[0122] In view of the shortcomings in the related art, the embodiments of the present application provide an ASK modulation circuit, method, wireless charging receiver, chip and electronic device, which can reduce or remove off-chip capacitors, on-chip switching tubes and chip pins without affecting the ASK modulation effect.

[0127] The logic control circuit 100 is used to control the constant current source circuit 300 to introduce a discharge current to the first node AC1 during the first dead zone, or to control the constant current source circuit 300 to introduce a discharge current to the first node AC1 and to introduce an injection current to the second node AC2; during the second dead zone, control the constant current source circuit 300 to introduce an injection current to the first node AC1, or to control the constant current source circuit 300 to introduce an injection current to the first node AC1 and to introduce a discharge current to the second node AC2; and / or, the logic control circuit 100 is also used to control the constant current source circuit 300 to introduce an injection current to the first node AC1 during the first dead zone. In the second dead zone process, the constant current source circuit 300 is controlled to introduce a discharge current into the first node AC1, or the constant current source circuit 300 is controlled to introduce a discharge current into the first node AC1 and an injection current into the second node AC2; wherein, the first dead zone process is a process in which the voltage of the first node AC1 decreases and the voltage of the second node AC2 increases, and the second dead zone process is a process in which the voltage of the first node AC1 increases and the voltage of the second node AC2 decreases.
[0128] The rectifier circuit 200 includes a first bridge arm 201 and a second bridge arm 202, and the first bridge arm and the second bridge arm are connected in parallel between the output voltage VRECT and the ground. The first node AC1 is between the first switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2, and the second node AC2 is between the third switch tube Q3 and the fourth switch tube Q4. By controlling the first rectifier branch (i.e., the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4) and the second rectifier branch (i.e., the third switch tube Q3 and the fourth switch tube Q2) to be alternately turned on, the AC signal induced by the receiving end coil is converted into a DC signal. Normally, the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4 in the first rectifier branch are turned on or off at the same time, and the third switch tube Q3 and the second switch tube Q2 in the second rectifier branch are turned on or off at the same time. The rectifier circuit is a prior art, and the specific connection method and working principle of the rectifier circuit are not repeated in this application.
[0129] The process in which the voltage values of the first node AC1 and the second node AC2 do not change is called a non-dead zone process, and the process in which the voltage values of the first node AC1 and the second node AC2 change is called a dead zone process. According to the change rule of the voltage values of the first node AC1 and the second node AC2, for the dead zone process, within one cycle, the dead zone process includes a first dead zone process and a second dead zone process, wherein the first dead zone process is a process in which the voltage of the first node AC1 decreases and the voltage of the second node AC2 increases, and the second dead zone process is a process in which the voltage of the first node AC1 increases and the voltage of the second node AC2 decreases; within one cycle, the non-dead zone process includes a first non-dead zone process and a second non-dead zone process, wherein the first non-dead zone process is a process in which the voltage of the first node AC1 stops changing after increasing and the voltage of the second node AC2 stops changing after decreasing, and the second non-dead zone process is a process in which the voltage of the first node AC1 stops changing after decreasing and the voltage of the second node AC2 stops changing after increasing.
[0130] See also Figure 3 In this application, a constant current source circuit is added on the basis of the existing rectifier circuit. The constant current source circuit includes a first constant current component, a second constant current component, a third constant current component and a fourth constant current component. The first constant current component is connected in parallel between the first end and the second end of the first switch tube, the second constant current component is connected in parallel between the first end and the second end of the second switch tube, the third constant current component is connected in parallel between the first end and the second end of the third switch tube, and the fourth constant current component is connected in parallel between the first end and the second end of the fourth switch tube. The logic control circuit is electrically connected to the constant current source circuit. Specifically, the logic control circuit is electrically connected to the control ends of the first switch, the second switch, the third switch and the fourth switch in the constant current source circuit respectively. By controlling the switch state of each switch, during the dead zone process, current is introduced into the first node and the second node, so that the rate of change of the voltage value of the first node and the second node changes, which is equivalent to changing the output impedance of the receiving end, so that the current in the receiving end coil changes, and then causes the current of the transmitting end coil to change, thereby realizing the ASK modulation function.
[0131] In the related art, in the modulation mode, by connecting or disconnecting the capacitors C1-C6 between the first terminal AC1_1 and the second terminal AC2_1, modulation is performed by connecting or disconnecting the capacitors, which affects the current waveforms of the receiving end and the transmitting end, so that the peak voltage of the induced voltage VCOIL changes, thereby realizing ASK modulation. However, in the present application, in the modulation mode, through the logic control circuit, in the dead zone process, the constant current source is controlled to introduce current to the first node AC1 and the second node AC2, so that the rate of change of the voltage value of the first node AC1 and the second node AC2 changes, thereby realizing the ASK modulation function.
[0132] In the present application, specifically, during the first dead zone, the logic control circuit controls the constant current source circuit to introduce a discharge current to the first node AC1, or controls the constant current source circuit to introduce a discharge current to the first node AC1 and an injection current to the second node AC2; during the second dead zone, the logic control circuit controls the constant current source circuit to introduce an injection current to the first node AC1, or controls the constant current source circuit to introduce an injection current to the first node AC1 and a discharge current to the second node AC2. Since the voltage of the first node AC1 decreases and the voltage of the second node AC2 increases during the first dead zone, the voltage of the first node AC1 decreases faster and the voltage of the second node AC2 increases faster by controlling the constant current source to introduce a discharge current to the first node AC1, or controlling the constant current source circuit to introduce a discharge current to the first node AC1 and an injection current to the second node AC2 during the second dead zone; since the voltage of the first node AC1 increases and the voltage of the second node AC2 decreases during the second dead zone, the voltage of the first node AC1 increases faster and the voltage of the second node AC2 decreases faster by controlling the constant current source circuit to introduce an injection current to the first node AC1, or controlling the constant current source circuit to introduce an injection current to the first node AC1 and a discharge current to the second node AC2. The above method can accelerate the rate of change of the voltage values of the first node and the second node, thereby realizing the ASK modulation function.
[0133] In the present application, specifically, during the first dead zone, the logic control circuit controls the constant current source circuit to introduce an injection current to the first node AC1, or controls the constant current source circuit to introduce an injection current to the first node AC1 and introduce a discharge current to the second node AC2; during the second dead zone, the constant current source circuit is controlled to introduce a discharge current to the first node AC1, or controls the constant current source circuit to introduce a discharge current to the first node AC1 and introduce an injection current to the second node AC2. Since the voltage of the first node AC1 decreases and the voltage of the second node AC2 increases during the first dead zone, the voltage of the first node AC1 decreases more slowly and the voltage of the second node AC2 increases more slowly by controlling the constant current source to introduce an injection current to the first node AC1, or controlling the constant current source circuit to introduce an injection current to the first node AC1 and introduce a discharge current to the second node AC2 during the first dead zone; since the voltage of the first node AC1 increases and the voltage of the second node AC2 decreases during the second dead zone, the voltage of the first node AC1 increases more slowly and the voltage of the second node AC2 decreases more slowly by controlling the constant current source circuit to introduce a discharge current to the first node AC1, or controlling the constant current source circuit to introduce a discharge current to the first node AC1 and introduce an injection current to the second node AC2. The above method can slow down the rate of change of the voltage values of the first node and the second node, thereby realizing the ASK modulation function.
[0134] In the embodiment of the present application, a method of controlling a constant current source to introduce a discharge current or an injection current to the first node and the second node during the dead zone is used through a logic control circuit, so that the rate of change of the voltage value of the first node and the second node is accelerated or slowed down, that is, the rate of change of the voltage value of the first node and the second node changes, which is equivalent to changing the output impedance of the receiving end, so that the current in the receiving end coil changes, and then causes the current of the transmitting end coil to change, thereby realizing the ASK modulation function. It is possible to reduce or remove off-chip capacitors, on-chip switch tubes, and chip pins without affecting the ASK modulation effect.
[0135] In one possible embodiment, see Figure 4(a) to Figure 4(h) , Figure 4(a) to Figure 4(h) A circuit control schematic diagram is provided for the first embodiment of the present application, wherein Figure 4(a), Figure 4(b), Figure 4(c), and Figure 4(d) are unmodulated modes, Figure 4(a) is the first non-dead zone process in the unmodulated mode, Figure 4(c) is the second non-dead zone process in the unmodulated mode, Figure 4(b) is the first dead zone process in the unmodulated mode, and Figure 4(d) is the second dead zone process in the unmodulated mode; Figure 4(e), Figure 4(f), Figure 4(g), and Figure 4(h) are modulation modes, Figure 4(e) is the first non-dead zone process in the modulation mode, Figure 4(g) is the second non-dead zone process in the modulation mode, Figure 4(f) is the first dead zone process in the modulation mode, and Figure 4(h) is the second dead zone process in the modulation mode.
[0136] For the full-bridge working state: in the modulation mode, the logic control circuit is used to control the second switch S2 and the third switch S3 to switch from the off state to the on state in the first dead zone process (i.e., Figure 4(f)), so that the second constant current source M2 introduces a discharge current to the first node AC1, and the third constant current source M3 introduces an injection current to the second node AC2; in the second dead zone process (i.e., Figure 4(h)), the first switch S1 and the fourth switch S4 are controlled to switch from the off state to the on state, so that the first constant current source M1 introduces an injection current to the first node AC1, and the fourth constant current source M4 introduces a discharge current to the second node AC2.
[0137] The capacitors connected in parallel between the first and second ends of the first switch tube Q1, the second switch tube Q2, the third switch tube Q3, and the fourth switch tube Q4 are the parasitic capacitors of the corresponding switch tubes themselves. The parasitic capacitors shown in the figure are only for the convenience of explaining the principle, not the actual external capacitors. For the convenience of explanation, the figure only shows the reference numerals of the constant current source in the dead zone process (i.e., Figure 4 (f) and Figure 4 (h)) in the modulation mode. The reference numerals of the corresponding constant current sources in the non-dead zone process in the modulation mode and the unmodulated mode are not shown one by one in the figure. It can be understood that Figure 4(a) to Figure 4(h) The reference numerals of the components are consistent.
[0138] The full-bridge working state is that within one cycle, the first switch tube Q1, the second switch tube Q2, the third switch tube Q3 and the fourth switch tube Q4 all change state. Specifically, the first rectifier branch (i.e., the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4) and the second rectifier branch (i.e., the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3) switch between the on state and the off state.
[0139] The specific working process of the first embodiment is as follows:
[0140] In modulation mode, for full-bridge operation:
[0141] In the first non-dead zone, see FIG4(e), the first rectifier branch (i.e., the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4) is turned on, and the second rectifier branch (i.e., the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3) is turned off. The voltage of the first node AC1 is the output voltage VRECT, and the voltage of the second node AC2 is 0. The switches S1 to S4 are all turned off.
[0142] During the first dead zone, see FIG4(f), the switch tubes Q1 to Q4 are all in the off state, and the first switch S1 and the fourth switch S4 are all in the off state. At this time, the first node AC1 is discharged to the ground through the parasitic capacitance of the second switch tube Q2, and the second node AC2 starts to be charged through the parasitic capacitance of the third switch tube Q3. During the first dead zone, the logic control circuit controls the second switch S2 and the third switch S3 to switch from the off state to the on state, introduces a discharge current to the first node AC1 through the second constant current source M2, so that the voltage of the first node AC1 drops faster, and introduces an injection current to the second node AC2 through the third constant current source M3, so that the voltage of the second node AC2 rises faster.
[0143] In the second non-dead zone, see FIG4(g), the second rectifier branch (i.e., the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3) is turned on, and the first rectifier branch (i.e., the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4) is turned off. Switches S1 to S4 are all turned off.
[0144] During the second dead zone, see FIG4(h), the switch tubes Q1 to Q4 are all in the off state, and the second switch S2 and the third switch S3 are all in the off state. At this time, the first node AC1 starts to charge through the parasitic capacitance of Q1, and the second node AC2 discharges to the ground through the parasitic capacitance of Q4. During the second dead zone, the logic control circuit controls the first switch S1 and the fourth switch S4 to switch from the off state to the on state, introduces an injection current to the first node AC1 through the first constant current source M1, so that the voltage of the first node AC1 rises faster, and introduces a discharge current to the second node AC2 through the fourth constant current source M4, so that the voltage of the second node AC2 drops faster.
[0145] In unmodulated mode:
[0146] In the first non-dead zone, see FIG4(a), the first rectifier branch (ie, the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4) is turned on, and the second rectifier branch (ie, the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3) is turned off. Switches S1 to S4 are all turned off.
[0147] During the first dead zone, referring to FIG. 4( b ), the switch tubes Q1 to Q4 are all in the off state, and the switches S1 to S4 are all in the off state.
[0148] In the second non-dead zone, see FIG4(c), the second rectifier branch (i.e., the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3) is turned on, and the first rectifier branch (i.e., the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4) is turned off. Switches S1 to S4 are all turned off.
[0149] During the second dead zone, referring to FIG. 4( d ), the switch tubes Q1 - Q4 are all in the off state, and the switches S1 - S4 are all in the off state.
[0150] In the unmodulated mode, the logic control circuit controls the first switch S1, the second switch S2, the third switch S3 and the fourth switch S4 to be in the off state. That is, in the unmodulated mode, the constant current source circuit does not work and does not need to introduce current to the first node AC1 and the second node AC2.
[0151] In a possible embodiment, in the modulation mode of embodiment 1, the logic control circuit controls the states of the first switch S1, the second switch S2, the third switch S3 and the fourth switch S4 to be in the off state in the first non-dead zone process and the second non-dead zone process, see Figure 4 (e) and Figure 4 (g). That is, in the modulation mode, in the first non-dead zone process and the second non-dead zone process, the constant current source circuit does not work, and there is no need to introduce current to the first node AC1 and the second node AC2.
[0152] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5A timing diagram provided in Example 1 of the present application, such as Figure 5 As shown, in unmodulated mode:
[0153] For the first non-dead zone process and the second non-dead zone process, the timing of the switch tubes Q1~Q4 is: when it is detected that the body diodes of the switch tubes Q1~Q4 are turned on, the corresponding switch tubes are controlled to be turned on; when it is detected that the current flowing through the switch tubes Q1~Q4 passes through zero, the corresponding switch tubes are controlled to be turned off.
[0154] In the first non-dead zone, since the first rectifier branch (i.e., the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4) are turned on, the second rectifier branch (i.e., the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3) are turned off. Switches S1 to S4 are all turned off. Therefore, the first switch tube Q1 (i.e. Figure 5 S-Q1 in the figure) and the fourth switch tube Q4 (i.e. Figure 5 S-Q4 in the figure is high level, and the second switch tube Q2 (i.e. Figure 5 S-Q2) and the third switch tube Q3 (i.e. Figure 5 S-Q3 in is low level, switches S1~S4 (i.e. Figure 5 S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) in the table are all low level.
[0155] In the second non-dead zone, since the second rectifier branch (i.e., the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3) are turned on, the first rectifier branch (i.e., the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4) are turned off. Switches S1 to S4 are all turned off. Therefore, the first switch tube Q1 (i.e. Figure 5 S-Q1 in the figure) and the fourth switch tube Q4 (i.e. Figure 5 S-Q4 in the figure is low level, and the second switch tube Q2 (i.e. Figure 5 S-Q2) and the third switch tube Q3 (i.e. Figure 5 S-Q3 in is high level, switches S1~S4 (i.e. Figure 5 S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) in the table are all low level.
[0156] During the dead zone, the switches S1 to S4 are all in the off state, and there is no need to introduce current into the first node AC1 and the second node AC2. Moreover, the switches Q1 to Q4 are all in the off state.
[0157] During the first dead zone, the first rectifier branch (i.e., the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4) and the second rectifier branch (i.e., the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3) are both in the off state, and switches S1 to S4 are all in the off state. Figure 5 S-Q1 in the figure), the fourth switch tube Q4 (i.e. Figure 5S-Q4 in the figure), the second switch tube Q2 (i.e. Figure 5 S-Q2 in the figure) and the third switch tube Q3 (i.e. Figure 5 S-Q3 in the figure are all low level, switches S1~S4 (i.e. Figure 5 S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) in the table are all low level.
[0158] During the second dead zone, the first rectifier branch (i.e., the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4) and the second rectifier branch (i.e., the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3) are both in the off state, and switches S1 to S4 are all in the off state. Figure 5 S-Q1 in the figure), the fourth switch tube Q4 (i.e. Figure 5 S-Q4 in the figure), the second switch tube Q2 (i.e. Figure 5 S-Q2 in the figure) and the third switch tube Q3 (i.e. Figure 5 S-Q3 in the figure are all low level, switches S1~S4 (i.e. Figure 5 S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) in the table are all low level.
[0159] Please continue to see Figure 5 , in modulation mode:
[0160] For the non-dead zone process, the timing of the switch tubes Q1~Q4 is: when the body diodes of the switch tubes Q1~Q4 are detected to be turned on, the corresponding switch tubes are controlled to be turned on; when the current flowing through the switch tubes Q1~Q4 is detected to pass through zero, the corresponding switch tubes are controlled to be turned off.
[0161] In the first non-dead zone, since the first rectifier branch (i.e., the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4) are turned on, the second rectifier branch (i.e., the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3) are turned off. Switches S1 to S4 are all turned off. Therefore, the first switch tube Q1 (i.e. Figure 5 S-Q1 in the figure) and the fourth switch tube Q4 (i.e. Figure 5 S-Q4 in the figure is high level, and the second switch tube Q2 (i.e. Figure 5 S-Q2) and the third switch tube Q3 (i.e. Figure 5 S-Q3 in is low level, switches S1~S4 (i.e. Figure 5 S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) in the table are all low level.
[0162] In the second non-dead zone, since the second rectifier branch (i.e., the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3) are turned on, the first rectifier branch (i.e., the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4) are turned off. Switches S1 to S4 are all turned off. Therefore, the first switch tube Q1 (i.e. Figure 5S-Q1 in the figure) and the fourth switch tube Q4 (i.e. Figure 5 S-Q4 in the figure is low level, and the second switch tube Q2 (i.e. Figure 5 S-Q2) and the third switch tube Q3 (i.e. Figure 5 S-Q3 in is high level, switches S1~S4 (i.e. Figure 5 S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) in the table are all low level.
[0163] During the first dead zone, the voltage of the first node AC1 decreases and the voltage of the second node AC2 increases. At this time, the first switch S1 and the fourth switch S4 are controlled to be turned off, and the second switch S2 and the third switch S3 are controlled to be turned on. The first node AC1 introduces a discharge current, and the second node AC2 introduces an injection current, which accelerates the speed at which the voltage of the first node AC1 decreases and the speed at which the voltage of the second node AC2 increases. Therefore, the first switch S1 (i.e. Figure 5 S-S1 in the figure) and the fourth switch S4 (i.e. Figure 5 S-S4 in the figure is at a low level, and the second switch S2 (i.e. Figure 5 S-S2 in the figure) and the third switch S3 (i.e. Figure 5 S-S3) in is high level.
[0164] During the second dead zone, the voltage of the first node AC1 rises and the voltage of the second node AC2 drops. At this time, the second switch S2 and the third switch S3 are controlled to be turned off, and the first switch S1 and the fourth switch S4 are controlled to be turned on. The first node AC1 introduces an injection current, and the second node AC2 introduces a discharge current, so that the voltage of the first node AC1 rises faster and the voltage of the second node AC2 drops faster. Therefore, the first switch S1 (i.e. Figure 5 S-S1 in the figure) and the fourth switch S4 (i.e. Figure 5 S-S4 in the figure is at a high level, and the second switch S2 (i.e. Figure 5 S-S2 in the figure) and the third switch S3 (i.e. Figure 5 S-S3) in is low level.
[0165] Understandably, Figure 5 The high level in the timing of the switch tubes Q1~Q4 corresponds to the on state, and the low level corresponds to the off state. Figure 5 The high level in the timing of switches S1 to S4 corresponds to the on state, and the low level corresponds to the off state.
[0166] Through the method of the first embodiment, in the modulation mode, the voltage change speed of the first node AC1 and the second node AC2 is accelerated, such as Figure 5As shown by the dotted line portion of the first node AC1 and the second node AC2, the slopes of the voltage rise and fall of the first node AC1 and the second node AC2 become larger during the dead zone, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown in the dotted part of S-Q2 and S-Q3 in the first dead zone, the second switch tube Q2 and the second switch tube Q3 are turned on in advance, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown in the dotted line portion of S-Q1 and S-Q4 during the second dead zone, the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4 are turned on in advance.
[0167] For embodiment one, the present application provides a logic control circuit 100, which is used to obtain control signals of switches S1 to S4 (i.e., S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) according to state signals of switch tubes Q1 to Q4 (i.e., S-Q1, S-Q2, S-Q3, S-Q4).

[0185] In the first embodiment, the first modulation enable signal EN_ASK_1, the second modulation enable signal EN_ASK_2, the third modulation enable signal EN_ASK_3, and the fourth modulation enable signal EN_ASK_4 in the logic control circuit are used to select the modulation mode and the unmodulated mode. The logic control circuit obtains the control signals of switches S1 to S4 (i.e., S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) according to the state signals of the switch tubes Q1 to Q4 (i.e., S-Q1, S-Q2, S-Q3, S-Q4), and controls the states of switches S1 to S4 through the control signals of switches S1 to S4. The method of controlling the constant current source to introduce a discharge current or an injection current to the first node and the second node during the dead zone process accelerates the rate of change of the voltage value of the first node and the second node, i.e., the rate of change of the voltage value of the first node and the second node changes, which is equivalent to changing the output impedance of the receiving end, so that the current in the receiving end coil changes, thereby causing the current of the transmitting end coil to change, thereby realizing the ASK modulation function. It can reduce or remove off-chip capacitors, on-chip switch tubes and chip pins without affecting the ASK modulation effect.
[0186] In a possible embodiment, for the full-bridge working state: in the unmodulated mode, the logic control circuit is used to control the second switch and the third switch to switch from the off state to the on state during the first dead zone, so that the second constant current source introduces a discharge current to the first node, so that the third constant current source introduces an injection current to the second node; during the second dead zone, the first switch and the fourth switch are controlled to switch from the off state to the on state, so that the first constant current source introduces an injection current to the first node, so that the fourth constant current source introduces a discharge current to the second node.
[0187] In the modulation mode, the logic control circuit is used to control the states of the first switch, the second switch, the third switch and the fourth switch to be in the off state.
[0188] The embodiment of the present application is different from the first embodiment only in that the modulation mode and the unmodulation mode are swapped, the modulation mode in the first embodiment is swapped to the unmodulation mode, and the unmodulation mode in the first embodiment is swapped to the modulation mode. That is, in the modulation mode of the present application, the constant current source circuit does not work, and there is no need to introduce current to the first node AC1 and the second node AC2; in the unmodulation mode, the constant current source is controlled to introduce current to the first node AC1 and the second node AC2. The control logic corresponding to the embodiment of the present application is the same as that of the first embodiment, and will not be repeated here.
[0189] In one possible embodiment, see Figure 7(a) to Figure 7(h) , Figure 7(a) to Figure 7(h) A circuit control schematic diagram is provided for Example 2 of the present application, wherein Figure 7(a), Figure 7(b), Figure 7(c), and Figure 7(d) are unmodulated modes, Figure 7(a) is the first non-dead zone process under the unmodulated mode, Figure 7(c) is the second non-dead zone process under the unmodulated mode, Figure 7(b) is the first dead zone process under the unmodulated mode, and Figure 7(d) is the second dead zone process under the unmodulated mode; Figure 7(e), Figure 7(f), Figure 7(g), and Figure 7(h) are modulation modes, Figure 7(e) is the first non-dead zone process under the modulation mode, Figure 7(g) is the second non-dead zone process under the modulation mode, Figure 7(f) is the first dead zone process under the modulation mode, and Figure 7(h) is the second dead zone process under the modulation mode.
[0190] For the full-bridge working state: in the modulation mode, the logic control circuit is used to control the first switch S1 and the fourth switch S4 to switch from the off state to the on state in the first dead zone process (i.e., Figure 7(f)), so that the first constant current source M1 introduces an injection current to the first node AC1, so that the fourth constant current source M4 introduces a discharge current to the second node AC2; in the second dead zone process (i.e., Figure 7(h)), the second switch S2 and the third switch S3 are controlled to switch from the off state to the on state, so that the second constant current source M2 introduces a discharge current to the first node AC1, so that the third constant current source M3 introduces an injection current to the second node AC2.
[0191] The capacitors connected in parallel between the first and second ends of the first switch tube Q1, the second switch tube Q2, the third switch tube Q3, and the fourth switch tube Q4 are the parasitic capacitors of the corresponding switch tubes themselves. The parasitic capacitors shown in the figure are only for the convenience of explaining the principle, not the actual external capacitors. For the convenience of explanation, the figure only shows the reference numerals of the constant current source in the dead zone process (i.e., Figure 7 (f) and Figure 7 (h)) in the modulation mode. The reference numerals of the corresponding constant current sources in the non-dead zone process in the modulation mode and the unmodulated mode are not shown one by one in the figure. It can be understood that Figure 7(a) to Figure 7(h) The reference numerals of the components are consistent.
[0192] The full-bridge working state is that within one cycle, the first switch tube Q1, the second switch tube Q2, the third switch tube Q3 and the fourth switch tube Q4 all change state. Specifically, the first rectifier branch (i.e., the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4) and the second rectifier branch (i.e., the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3) switch between the on state and the off state.
[0193] The specific working process of the second embodiment is as follows:
[0194] In modulation mode, for full-bridge operation:
[0195] In the first non-dead zone, see FIG7(e), the first rectifier branch (i.e., the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4) is turned on, and the second rectifier branch (i.e., the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3) is turned off. The voltage of the first node AC1 is the output voltage VRECT, and the voltage of the second node AC2 is 0. The switches S1 to S4 are all turned off.
[0196] During the first dead zone, see FIG7(f), the switch tubes Q1 to Q4 are all in the off state, and the second switch S2 and the third switch S3 are all in the off state. At this time, the first node AC1 is discharged to the ground through the parasitic capacitance of the second switch tube Q2, and the second node AC2 starts to be charged through the parasitic capacitance of the third switch tube Q3. During the first dead zone, the logic control circuit controls the first switch S1 and the fourth switch S4 to switch from the off state to the on state, introduces an injection current to the first node AC1 through the first constant current source M1, so that the voltage of the first node AC1 decreases more slowly, and introduces a discharge current to the second node AC2 through the fourth constant current source M4, so that the voltage of the second node AC2 increases more slowly.
[0197] In the second non-dead zone, see FIG7(g), the second rectifier branch (i.e., the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3) is turned on, and the first rectifier branch (i.e., the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4) is turned off. Switches S1 to S4 are all turned off.
[0198] During the second dead zone, see FIG7(h), the switch tubes Q1 to Q4 are all in the off state, and the first switch S1 and the fourth switch S4 are both in the off state. At this time, the first node AC1 starts to charge through the parasitic capacitance of the first switch tube Q1, and the second node AC2 discharges to the ground through the parasitic capacitance of the fourth switch tube Q4. During the second dead zone, the logic control circuit controls the second switch S2 and the third switch S3 to switch from the off state to the on state, introduces a discharge current to the first node AC1 through the second constant current source M2, so that the voltage of the first node AC1 rises more slowly, and introduces an injection current to the second node AC2 through the third constant current source M3, so that the voltage of the second node AC2 drops more slowly.
[0199] In unmodulated mode:
[0200] In the first non-dead zone, see FIG7(a), the first rectifier branch (ie, the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4) is turned on, and the second rectifier branch (ie, the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3) is turned off. Switches S1 to S4 are all turned off.
[0201] During the first dead zone, referring to FIG. 7( b ), the switch tubes Q1 to Q4 are all in the off state, and the switches S1 to S4 are all in the off state.
[0202] In the second non-dead zone, see FIG7(c), the second rectifier branch (i.e., the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3) is turned on, and the first rectifier branch (i.e., the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4) is turned off. Switches S1 to S4 are all turned off.
[0203] During the second dead zone, referring to FIG. 7( d ), the switch tubes Q1 - Q4 are all in the off state, and the switches S1 - S4 are all in the off state.
[0204] In the unmodulated mode, the logic control circuit controls the first switch S1, the second switch S2, the third switch S3 and the fourth switch S4 to be in the off state. That is, in the unmodulated mode, the constant current source circuit does not work and does not need to introduce current to the first node AC1 and the second node AC2.
[0205] In a possible embodiment, in the modulation mode of the second embodiment, the logic control circuit controls the states of the first switch S1, the second switch S2, the third switch S3 and the fourth switch S4 to be in the off state in the first non-dead zone process and the second non-dead zone process, see Figure 7 (e) and Figure 7 (g). That is, in the modulation mode, in the first non-dead zone process and the second non-dead zone process, the constant current source circuit does not work, and there is no need to introduce current to the first node AC1 and the second node AC2.
[0206] See also Figure 8 , Figure 8 A timing diagram provided in Example 2 of the present application, such as Figure 8 As shown, in unmodulated mode:
[0207] For the first non-dead zone process and the second non-dead zone process, the timing of the switch tubes Q1~Q4 is: when it is detected that the body diodes of the switch tubes Q1~Q4 are turned on, the corresponding switch tubes are controlled to be turned on; when it is detected that the current flowing through the switch tubes Q1~Q4 passes through zero, the corresponding switch tubes are controlled to be turned off.
[0208] In the first non-dead zone, since the first rectifier branch (i.e., the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4) are turned on, the second rectifier branch (i.e., the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3) are turned off. Switches S1 to S4 are all turned off. Therefore, the first switch tube Q1 (i.e. Figure 8 S-Q1 in the figure) and the fourth switch tube Q4 (i.e. Figure 8 S-Q4 in the figure is high level, and the second switch tube Q2 (i.e. Figure 8 S-Q2) and the third switch tube Q3 (i.e. Figure 8 S-Q3 in is low level, switches S1~S4 (i.e. Figure 8 S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) in the table are all low level.
[0209] In the second non-dead zone, since the second rectifier branch (i.e., the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3) are turned on, the first rectifier branch (i.e., the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4) are turned off. Switches S1 to S4 are all turned off. Therefore, the first switch tube Q1 (i.e. Figure 8 S-Q1 in the figure) and the fourth switch tube Q4 (i.e. Figure 8 S-Q4 in the figure is low level, and the second switch tube Q2 (i.e. Figure 8 S-Q2) and the third switch tube Q3 (i.e. Figure 8 S-Q3 in is high level, switches S1~S4 (i.e. Figure 8 S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) in the table are all low level.
[0210] During the dead zone, the switches S1 to S4 are all in the off state, and there is no need to introduce current into the first node AC1 and the second node AC2. Moreover, the switches Q1 to Q4 are all in the off state.
[0211] During the first dead zone, the first rectifier branch (i.e., the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4) and the second rectifier branch (i.e., the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3) are both in the off state, and switches S1 to S4 are all in the off state. Figure 8 S-Q1 in the figure), the fourth switch tube Q4 (i.e. Figure 8 S-Q4 in the figure), the second switch tube Q2 (i.e. Figure 8 S-Q2 in the figure) and the third switch tube Q3 (i.e. Figure 8 S-Q3 in the figure are all low level, switches S1~S4 (i.e. Figure 8 S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) in the table are all low level.
[0212] During the second dead zone, the first rectifier branch (i.e., the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4) and the second rectifier branch (i.e., the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3) are both in the off state, and switches S1 to S4 are all in the off state. Figure 8 S-Q1 in the figure), the fourth switch tube Q4 (i.e. Figure 8 S-Q4 in the figure), the second switch tube Q2 (i.e. Figure 8 S-Q2 in the figure) and the third switch tube Q3 (i.e. Figure 8 S-Q3 in the figure are all low level, switches S1~S4 (i.e. Figure 8 S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) in the table are all low level.
[0213] Please continue to see Figure 8 , in modulation mode:
[0214] For the non-dead zone process, the timing of the switch tubes Q1~Q4 is: when the body diodes of the switch tubes Q1~Q4 are detected to be turned on, the corresponding switch tubes are controlled to be turned on; when the current flowing through the switch tubes Q1~Q4 is detected to be zero-crossing, the corresponding switch tubes are controlled to be turned off.
[0215] In the first non-dead zone, since the first rectifier branch (i.e., the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4) are turned on, the second rectifier branch (i.e., the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3) are turned off. Switches S1 to S4 are all turned off. Therefore, the first switch tube Q1 (i.e. Figure 8 S-Q1 in the figure) and the fourth switch tube Q4 (i.e. Figure 8 S-Q4 in the figure is high level, and the second switch tube Q2 (i.e. Figure 8 S-Q2) and the third switch tube Q3 (i.e. Figure 8 S-Q3 in is low level, switches S1~S4 (i.e. Figure 8 S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) in the table are all low level.
[0216] In the second non-dead zone, since the second rectifier branch (i.e., the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3) are turned on, the first rectifier branch (i.e., the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4) are turned off. Switches S1 to S4 are all turned off. Therefore, the first switch tube Q1 (i.e. Figure 8 S-Q1 in the figure) and the fourth switch tube Q4 (i.e. Figure 8 S-Q4 in the figure is low level, and the second switch tube Q2 (i.e. Figure 8 S-Q2) and the third switch tube Q3 (i.e. Figure 8 S-Q3 in is high level, switches S1~S4 (i.e. Figure 8 S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) in the table are all low level.
[0217] During the first dead zone, the voltage of the first node AC1 decreases and the voltage of the second node AC2 increases. At this time, the first switch S1 and the fourth switch S4 are controlled to be turned on, and the second switch S2 and the third switch S3 are controlled to be turned off. The first node AC1 introduces an injection current, and the second node AC2 introduces a discharge current to slow down the speed at which the voltage of the first node AC1 decreases, and slows down the speed at which the voltage of the second node AC2 increases. Therefore, the first switch S1 (i.e. Figure 8 S-S1 in the figure) and the fourth switch S4 (i.e. Figure 8 S-S4 in the figure is at a high level, and the second switch S2 (i.e. Figure 8 S-S2 in the figure) and the third switch S3 (i.e. Figure 8 S-S3) in is low level.
[0218] During the second dead zone, the voltage of the first node AC1 rises and the voltage of the second node AC2 drops. At this time, the second switch S2 and the third switch S3 are controlled to be turned on, and the first switch S1 and the fourth switch S4 are controlled to be turned off. The first node AC1 introduces a discharge current, and the second node AC2 introduces an injection current, which slows down the speed at which the voltage of the first node AC1 rises and slows down the speed at which the voltage of the second node AC2 drops. Therefore, the first switch S1 (i.e. Figure 8 S-S1 in the figure) and the fourth switch S4 (i.e. Figure 8 S-S4 in the figure is at a low level, and the second switch S2 (i.e. Figure 8 S-S2 in the figure) and the third switch S3 (i.e. Figure 8 S-S3) in is high level.
[0219] Understandably, Figure 8 The high level in the timing of the switch tubes Q1~Q4 corresponds to the on state, and the low level corresponds to the off state. Figure 8 The high level in the timing of switches S1 to S4 corresponds to the on state, and the low level corresponds to the off state.
[0220] Through the method of the second embodiment, in the modulation mode, the voltage change speed of the first node AC1 and the second node AC2 is slowed down. Figure 8 As shown by the dotted line portion of the first node AC1 and the second node AC2, the slopes of the voltage rise and fall of the first node AC1 and the second node AC2 become smaller during the dead zone, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown in the dotted part of S-Q2 and S-Q3 in the first dead zone, the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3 are turned on with delay, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown in the dotted line portion of S-Q1 and S-Q4 during the second dead zone, the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4 are turned on with a delay.

The logic control circuit obtains the control signals of switches S1 to S4 (i.e., S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) according to the state signals of the switch tubes Q1 to Q4 (i.e., S-Q1, S-Q2, S-Q3, S-Q4), and controls the states of switches S1 to S4 through the control signals of switches S1 to S4. In the dead zone process, the method of controlling the constant current source to introduce a discharge current or an injection current to the first node and the second node slows down the rate of change of the voltage value of the first node and the second node, that is, the rate of change of the voltage value of the first node and the second node changes, which is equivalent to changing the output impedance of the receiving end, so that the current in the receiving end coil changes, and then causes the current of the transmitting end coil to change, thereby realizing the ASK modulation function. It can reduce or remove off-chip capacitors, on-chip switch tubes and chip pins without affecting the ASK modulation effect.
[0240] In a possible embodiment, for the full-bridge working state:
[0241] In the unmodulated mode, the logic control circuit is used to control the first switch and the fourth switch to switch from the off state to the on state during the first dead zone, so that the first constant current source introduces an injection current to the first node, so that the fourth constant current source introduces a discharge current to the second node; during the second dead zone, control the second switch and the third switch to switch from the off state to the on state, so that the second constant current source introduces a discharge current to the first node, so that the third constant current source introduces an injection current to the second node.
[0242] In the modulation mode, the logic control circuit is used to control the states of the first switch, the second switch, the third switch and the fourth switch to be in the off state.
[0243] The difference between the embodiment of the present application and the second embodiment is that the modulation mode and the unmodulation mode are swapped, the modulation mode in the second embodiment is swapped to the unmodulation mode, and the unmodulation mode in the second embodiment is swapped to the modulation mode. That is, in the modulation mode of the present application, the constant current source circuit does not work, and there is no need to introduce current to the first node AC1 and the second node AC2; in the unmodulation mode, the constant current source is controlled to introduce current to the first node AC1 and the second node AC2. The control logic corresponding to the embodiment of the present application is the same as that of the second embodiment, and will not be repeated here.
[0244] In one possible embodiment, see Figure 10(a) to Figure 10(h) , Figure 10(a) to Figure 10(h) A circuit control schematic diagram is provided for the third embodiment of the present application, wherein Figure 10(a), Figure 10(b), Figure 10(c), and Figure 10(d) are unmodulated modes, Figure 10(a) is the first non-dead zone process in the unmodulated mode, Figure 10(c) is the second non-dead zone process in the unmodulated mode, Figure 10(b) is the first dead zone process in the unmodulated mode, and Figure 10(d) is the second dead zone process in the unmodulated mode; Figure 10(e), Figure 10(f), Figure 10(g), and Figure 10(h) are modulation modes, Figure 10(e) is the first non-dead zone process in the modulation mode, Figure 10(g) is the second non-dead zone process in the modulation mode, Figure 10(f) is the first dead zone process in the modulation mode, and Figure 10(h) is the second dead zone process in the modulation mode.
[0245] For the half-bridge working state: in the modulation mode, the logic control circuit is used to control the second switch S2 to switch from the off state to the on state in the first dead zone process (i.e., Figure 7(f)), so that the second constant current source M2 introduces a discharge current to the first node AC1; in the second dead zone process (i.e., Figure 10(h)), the first switch S1 is controlled to switch from the off state to the on state, so that the first constant current source M1 introduces an injection current to the first node AC1.
[0246] The capacitors connected in parallel between the first and second ends of the first switch tube Q1, the second switch tube Q2, the third switch tube Q3, and the fourth switch tube Q4 are the parasitic capacitors of the corresponding switch tubes themselves. The parasitic capacitors shown in the figure are only for the convenience of explaining the principle, not the actual external capacitors. For the convenience of explanation, the figure only shows the reference numerals of the constant current source in the dead zone process (i.e., Figure 10(f) and Figure 10(h)) in the modulation mode. The reference numerals of the corresponding constant current sources in the non-dead zone process in the modulation mode and the unmodulated mode are not shown one by one in the figure. It can be understood that Figure 10(a) to Figure 10(h) The reference numerals of the components are consistent.
[0247] The output voltage of the half-bridge working state is higher than that of the full-bridge working state. In the embodiment of the present application, the half-bridge working state is: the third switch tube Q3 is in a normally off (or normally closed) state, and the fourth switch tube Q4 is in a normally on (or normally open) state, and the first switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2 are controlled to be alternately turned on to convert the AC signal sensed by the receiving end coil into a DC signal. In view of the fact that Q1~Q4 are symmetrical in the rectifier circuit, for another half-bridge working state: the first switch tube Q1 is in a normally off (can be called normally closed) state, and the second switch tube Q2 is in a normally on (can be called normally open) state, and the third switch tube Q3 and the fourth switch tube Q4 are controlled to be alternately turned on to convert the AC signal sensed by the receiving end coil into a DC signal, the corresponding ASK modulation circuit and method for the wireless charging receiving end are also within the protection scope of the present application.
[0248] The specific working process of the third embodiment is as follows:
[0249] In modulation mode, for half-bridge operation:
[0250] In the first non-dead zone, referring to FIG. 10( e ), the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4 are turned on, and the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3 are turned off, so that the voltage of the first node AC1 is the output voltage VRECT.
[0251] During the first dead zone, referring to FIG. 10(f), the first switch tube Q1, the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3 are in the off state, and the fourth switch tube Q4 is in the on state. At this time, the first node AC1 is discharged to the ground through the parasitic capacitance of the second switch tube Q2. During the first dead zone, the logic control circuit controls the second switch S2 to switch from the off state to the on state, and introduces a discharge current to the first node AC1 through the second constant current source M2, so that the voltage of the first node AC1 drops faster.
[0252] In the second non-dead zone, referring to FIG10(g), the first switch tube Q2 and the fourth switch tube Q4 are turned on, the second switch tube Q1 and the third switch tube Q3 are turned off, and the switches S1 to S4 are all turned off.
[0253] During the second dead zone, referring to FIG. 10(h), the first switch tube Q1, the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3 are in the off state, and the fourth switch tube Q4 is in the on state. At this time, the first node AC1 starts to charge through the parasitic capacitance of the first switch tube Q1. During the second dead zone, the logic control circuit controls the first switch S1 to switch from the off state to the on state, and introduces an injection current to the first node AC1 through the first constant current source M1, so that the voltage of the first node AC1 rises faster.
[0254] In unmodulated mode:
[0255] In the first non-dead zone, referring to FIG10( a ), the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4 are turned on, and the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3 are turned off. The switches S1 to S4 are all turned off.
[0256] During the first dead zone, referring to FIG. 10( b ), the first switch tube Q1 , the second switch tube Q2 , and the third switch tube Q3 are in the off state, the fourth switch tube Q4 is in the on state, and the switches S1 to S4 are all in the off state.
[0257] In the second non-dead zone, referring to FIG10( c ), the first switch tube Q2 and the fourth switch tube Q4 are turned on, the second switch tube Q1 and the third switch tube Q3 are turned off, and the switches S1 to S4 are all turned off.
[0258] During the second dead zone, referring to FIG. 10( d ), the first switch tube Q1 , the second switch tube Q2 , and the third switch tube Q3 are in the off state, the fourth switch tube Q4 is in the on state, and the switches S1 to S4 are all in the off state.
[0259] In the unmodulated mode, the logic control circuit controls the first switch S1, the second switch S2, the third switch S3 and the fourth switch S4 to be in the off state. That is, in the unmodulated mode, the constant current source circuit does not work and does not need to introduce current to the first node AC1 and the second node AC2.
[0260] In a possible embodiment, in the modulation mode of Embodiment 3, the logic control circuit controls the states of the first switch S1, the second switch S2, the third switch S3 and the fourth switch S4 to be in the off state in the first non-dead zone process and the second non-dead zone process, see Figure 10 (e) and Figure 10 (g). That is, in the modulation mode, in the first non-dead zone process and the second non-dead zone process, the constant current source circuit does not work, and there is no need to introduce current to the first node AC1 and the second node AC2.
[0261] See also Fig.11 , Fig.11 A timing diagram provided in Example 3 of the present application, such as Fig.11 As shown, in unmodulated mode:
[0262] For the first non-dead zone process and the second non-dead zone process, the third switch tube Q3 is normally off (or normally closed), the fourth switch tube Q4 is normally on (or normally open), and the timing of the second switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2 is: when it is detected that the body diodes of the second switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2 are turned on, the corresponding switch tube is controlled to be turned on; when it is detected that the current flowing through the second switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2 passes through zero, the corresponding switch tube is controlled to be turned off.
[0263] In the first non-dead zone, since the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4 are turned on, the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3 are turned off. Switches S1 to S4 are all turned off. Therefore, the first switch tube Q1 (i.e. Fig.11 S-Q1 in the figure) and the fourth switch tube Q4 (i.e. Fig.11 S-Q4 in the figure is high level, and the second switch tube Q2 (i.e. Fig.11 S-Q2) and the third switch tube Q3 (i.e. Fig.11 S-Q3 in is low level, switches S1~S4 (i.e. Fig.11 S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) in the table are all low level.
[0264] In the second non-dead zone, since the first switch tube Q2 and the fourth switch tube Q4 are turned on, the second switch tube Q1 and the third switch tube Q3 are turned off. Switches S1 to S4 are all turned off. Therefore, the second switch tube Q2 (i.e. Fig.11 S-Q2) and the fourth switch tube Q4 (i.e. Fig.11 S-Q4 in the figure is high level, and the second switch tube Q1 (i.e. Fig.11 S-Q1 in the figure) and the third switch tube Q3 (i.e. Fig.11 S-Q3 in is low level, switches S1~S4 (i.e. Fig.11 S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) in the table are all low level.
[0265] During the dead zone, the switches S1 to S4 are all in the off state, and there is no need to introduce current into the first node AC1 and the second node AC2.
[0266] During the first dead zone, since the first switch tube Q1, the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3 are in the off state, the fourth switch tube Q4 is in the on state, and the switches S1 to S4 are all in the off state. Fig.11 S-Q1 in the figure), the second switch tube Q2 (i.e. Fig.11 S-Q2) and the third switch tube Q3 (i.e. Fig.11 S-Q3 in the figure are all at low level, and the fourth switch tube Q4 (i.e. Fig.11 S-Q4 in is high level, switches S1~S4 (i.e. Fig.11 S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) in the table are all low level.
[0267] During the second dead zone, since the first switch tube Q1, the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3 are in the off state, the fourth switch tube Q4 is in the on state, and the switches S1 to S4 are all in the off state. Fig.11 S-Q1 in the figure), the second switch tube Q2 (i.e. Fig.11 S-Q2) and the third switch tube Q3 (i.e. Fig.11 S-Q3 in the figure are all at low level, and the fourth switch tube Q4 (i.e. Fig.11 S-Q4 in is high level, switches S1~S4 (i.e. Fig.11 S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) in the table are all low level.
[0268] Please continue to see Fig.11 , in modulation mode:
[0269] For the non-dead zone process, the third switch tube Q3 is normally turned off (or normally closed), the fourth switch tube Q4 is normally turned on (or normally open), and the timing of the second switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2 is: when it is detected that the body diodes of the second switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2 are turned on, the corresponding switch tubes are controlled to be turned on; when it is detected that the current flowing through the second switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2 passes through zero, the corresponding switch tubes are controlled to be turned off.
[0270] In the first non-dead zone, since the first switch tube Q1, the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3 are in the off state, the fourth switch tube Q4 is in the on state, and the switches S1 to S4 are all in the off state. Fig.11 S-Q1 in the figure), the second switch tube Q2 (i.e. Fig.11 S-Q2) and the third switch tube Q3 (i.e. Fig.11 S-Q3 in the figure are all at low level, and the fourth switch tube Q4 (i.e. Fig.11 S-Q4 in is high level, switches S1~S4 (i.e. Fig.11 S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) in the table are all low level.
[0271] In the second non-dead zone, since the first switch tube Q1, the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3 are in the off state, the fourth switch tube Q4 is in the on state, and the switches S1 to S4 are all in the off state. Fig.11 S-Q1 in the figure), the second switch tube Q2 (i.e. Fig.11 S-Q2) and the third switch tube Q3 (i.e. Fig.11 S-Q3 in the figure are all at low level, and the fourth switch tube Q4 (i.e. Fig.11 S-Q4 in is high level, switches S1~S4 (i.e. Fig.11 S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) in the table are all low level.
[0272] During the first dead zone, the voltage of the first node AC1 decreases. At this time, the first switch S1, the third switch S3 and the fourth switch S4 are controlled to be turned off, and the second switch S2 is controlled to be turned on. The first node AC1 introduces a discharge current to accelerate the speed at which the voltage of the first node AC1 decreases. Therefore, the first switch S1 (i.e. Fig.11 S-S1 in the figure), the third switch S3 (i.e. Fig.11 S-S3 in the figure) and the fourth switch S4 (i.e. Fig.11 The S-S4 in the figure are all at low level, and the second switch S2 (i.e. Fig.11 S-S2) in is high level.
[0273] During the second dead zone, the voltage of the first node AC1 rises. At this time, the second switch S2, the third switch S3 and the fourth switch S4 are controlled to be turned off, and the first switch S1 is controlled to be turned on. The first node AC1 introduces an injection current to accelerate the voltage rise of the first node AC1. Therefore, the first switch S1 (i.e. Fig.11 The S-S1 in the figure is at a high level, and the second switch S2 (i.e. Fig.11 S-S2 in the figure), the third switch S3 (i.e. Fig.11 S-S3 in the figure) and the fourth switch S4 (i.e. Fig.11 S-S4) in are all low level.
[0274] Understandably, Fig.11 The high level in the timing of the switch tubes Q1~Q4 corresponds to the on state, and the low level corresponds to the off state. Fig.11 The high level in the timing of switches S1 to S4 corresponds to the on state, and the low level corresponds to the off state.
[0275] Through the method of the third embodiment, in the modulation mode, the voltage change speed of the first node AC1 is accelerated, such as Fig.11 As shown by the dotted line portion of the first node AC1 in FIG. 1 , the slope of the voltage rise and fall of the first node AC1 during the dead time becomes larger, as shown in FIG. Fig.11 As shown in the dotted part of S-Q1 in the second dead zone, Q1 is turned on early, as shown in Fig.11 As shown in the dotted part of S-Q2 during the first dead zone, Q2 is turned on in advance.

[0278] The first input terminal of the twenty-fifth NOR gate A25 is connected to the state signal S-Q1 of the first switch tube Q1, the second input terminal of the twenty-fifth NOR gate A25 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the twenty-sixth NOR gate A26, and the output terminal of the twenty-fifth NOR gate A25 is electrically connected to the first input terminal of the twenty-sixth NOR gate A26 and the first input terminal of the seventeenth AND gate B17 respectively.
[0279] A second input terminal of the twenty-sixth NOR gate A26 is connected to the state signal S-Q2 of the second switch tube Q2.
[0280] The first input end of the twenty-seventh NOR gate A27 is connected to the state signal S-Q1 of the first switch tube Q1, the second input end of the twenty-seventh NOR gate A27 is connected to the state signal S-Q2 of the second switch tube Q2, and the output end of the twenty-seventh NOR gate A27 is electrically connected to the second input end of the seventeenth AND gate B17.
[0281] The output end of the seventeenth AND gate B17 is electrically connected to the first input end of the eighteenth AND gate B18, the second input end of the eighteenth AND gate B18 is connected to the ninth modulation enable signal EN_ASK_9, and the output end of the eighteenth AND gate B18 serves as the control signal end of the first switch S1, for outputting the control signal S-S1 of the first switch S1.
[0282] The first input terminal of the twenty-eighth NOR gate A28 is connected to the state signal S-Q2 of the second switch tube Q2, the second input terminal of the twenty-eighth NOR gate A28 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the twenty-ninth NOR gate A29, and the output terminal of the twenty-eighth NOR gate A28 is electrically connected to the first input terminal of the twenty-ninth NOR gate A29 and the first input terminal of the nineteenth AND gate B19 respectively.
[0283] A second input terminal of the twenty-ninth NOR gate A29 is connected to the state signal S-Q1 of the first switch tube Q1.
[0284] The first input end of the 30th NOR gate A30 is connected to the state signal S-Q1 of the first switch tube Q1, the second input end of the 30th NOR gate A30 is connected to the state signal S-Q2 of the second switch tube Q2, and the output end of the 30th NOR gate A30 is electrically connected to the second input end of the 19th AND gate B19.

[0286] In the third embodiment, the ninth modulation enable signal EN_ASK_9 and the tenth modulation enable signal EN_ASK_10 in the logic control circuit are used to select the modulation mode and the unmodulated mode. The logic control circuit obtains the control signals of switches S1 to S2 (i.e., S-S1, S-S2) according to the state signals of the switch tubes Q1 to Q2 (i.e., S-Q1, S-Q2), and controls the states of switches S1 to S2 by the control signals of switches S1 to S2. The method of controlling the constant current source to introduce a discharge current or an injection current to the first node during the dead zone process accelerates the rate of change of the voltage value of the first node, that is, the rate of change of the voltage value of the first node changes, which is equivalent to changing the output impedance of the receiving end, so that the current in the receiving end coil changes, and then causes the current of the transmitting end coil to change, thereby realizing the ASK modulation function. It is possible to reduce or remove off-chip capacitors, on-chip switch tubes, and chip pins without affecting the ASK modulation effect.
[0287] In a possible embodiment, for the half-bridge working state:

[0290] The embodiment of the present application is different from the third embodiment only in that the modulation mode and the unmodulation mode are swapped, the modulation mode in the third embodiment is swapped to the unmodulation mode, and the unmodulation mode in the third embodiment is swapped to the modulation mode. That is, in the modulation mode of the present application, the constant current source circuit does not work, and there is no need to introduce current to the first node AC1 and the second node AC2; in the unmodulation mode, the constant current source is controlled to introduce current to the first node AC1 and the second node AC2. The control logic corresponding to the embodiment of the present application is the same as that of the third embodiment, and will not be repeated here.
[0291] In one possible embodiment, see Figure 13(a) to Figure 13(h) , Figure 13(a) to Figure 13(h)A circuit control schematic diagram is provided for Example 4 of the present application, wherein Figure 13(a), Figure 13(b), Figure 13(c), and Figure 13(d) are unmodulated modes, Figure 13(a) is the first non-dead zone process under the unmodulated mode, Figure 13(c) is the second non-dead zone process under the unmodulated mode, Figure 13(b) is the first dead zone process under the unmodulated mode, and Figure 13(d) is the second dead zone process under the unmodulated mode; Figure 13(e), Figure 13(f), Figure 13(g), and Figure 13(h) are modulation modes, Figure 13(e) is the first non-dead zone process under the modulation mode, Figure 13(g) is the second non-dead zone process under the modulation mode, Figure 13(f) is the first dead zone process under the modulation mode, and Figure 13(h) is the second dead zone process under the modulation mode.
[0292] For the half-bridge working state, in the modulation mode, the logic control circuit is used to control the first switch S1 to switch from the off state to the on state in the first dead zone process (i.e., Figure 13(f)) so that the first constant current source M1 introduces an injection current to the first node AC1; in the second dead zone process (i.e., Figure 13(h)), the second switch S2 is controlled to switch from the off state to the on state so that the second constant current source M2 introduces a discharge current to the first node AC1.
[0293] The capacitors connected in parallel between the first and second ends of the first switch tube Q1, the second switch tube Q2, the third switch tube Q3, and the fourth switch tube Q4 are the parasitic capacitors of the corresponding switch tubes themselves. The parasitic capacitors shown in the figure are only for the convenience of explaining the principle, not the actual external capacitors. For the convenience of explanation, the figure only shows the reference numerals of the constant current source in the dead zone process (i.e., Figure 13 (f) and Figure 13 (h)) in the modulation mode. The reference numerals of the corresponding constant current sources in the non-dead zone process in the modulation mode and the unmodulated mode are not shown one by one in the figure. It can be understood that Figure 13(a) to Figure 13(h) The reference numerals of the components are consistent.
[0294] The output voltage of the half-bridge working state is higher than that of the full-bridge working state. In the embodiment of the present application, the half-bridge working state is: the third switch tube Q3 is in a normally off (or normally closed) state, and the fourth switch tube Q4 is in a normally on (or normally open) state, and the first switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2 are controlled to be alternately turned on to convert the AC signal sensed by the receiving end coil into a DC signal. In view of the fact that Q1~Q4 are symmetrical in the rectifier circuit, for another half-bridge working state: the first switch tube Q1 is in a normally off (can be called normally closed) state, and the second switch tube Q2 is in a normally on (can be called normally open) state, and the third switch tube Q3 and the fourth switch tube Q4 are controlled to be alternately turned on to convert the AC signal sensed by the receiving end coil into a DC signal, the corresponding ASK modulation circuit and method for the wireless charging receiving end are also within the protection scope of the present application.
[0295] The specific working process of the fourth embodiment is as follows:

[0298] During the first dead zone, referring to FIG. 13(f), the first switch tube Q1, the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3 are in the off state, and the fourth switch tube Q4 is in the on state. At this time, the first node AC1 is discharged to the ground through the parasitic capacitance of the second switch tube Q2. During the first dead zone, the logic control circuit controls the first switch S1 to switch from the off state to the on state, and introduces an injection current to the first node AC1 through the first constant current source M1, so that the voltage of the first node AC1 drops more slowly.

At this time, the first node AC1 starts to charge through the parasitic capacitance of the first switch tube Q1. During the second dead zone, the logic control circuit controls the second switch S2 to switch from the off state to the on state, and introduces a discharge current to the first node AC1 through the second constant current source M2, so that the voltage of the first node AC1 rises more slowly.

[0307] See also Fig.14 , Fig.14 A timing diagram provided for the fourth embodiment of the present application, such as Fig.14 As shown, in unmodulated mode:
[0308] For the first non-dead zone process and the second non-dead zone process, the third switch tube Q3 is normally off (or normally closed), the fourth switch tube Q4 is normally on (or normally open), and the timing of the second switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2 is: when it is detected that the body diodes of the second switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2 are turned on, the corresponding switch tube is controlled to be turned on; when it is detected that the current flowing through the second switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2 passes through zero, the corresponding switch tube is controlled to be turned off.
[0309] In the first non-dead zone, since the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4 are turned on, the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3 are turned off. Switches S1 to S4 are all turned off. Therefore, the first switch tube Q1 (i.e. Fig.14 S-Q1 in the figure) and the fourth switch tube Q4 (i.e. Fig.14 S-Q4 in the figure is high level, and the second switch tube Q2 (i.e. Fig.14 S-Q2) and the third switch tube Q3 (i.e. Fig.14 S-Q3 in is low level, switches S1~S4 (i.e. Fig.14 S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) in the table are all low level.
[0310] In the second non-dead zone, since the first switch tube Q2 and the fourth switch tube Q4 are turned on, the second switch tube Q1 and the third switch tube Q3 are turned off. Switches S1 to S4 are all turned off. Therefore, the second switch tube Q2 (i.e. Fig.14 S-Q2) and the fourth switch tube Q4 (i.e. Fig.14 S-Q4 in the figure is high level, and the second switch tube Q1 (i.e. Fig.14 S-Q1 in the figure) and the third switch tube Q3 (i.e. Fig.14 S-Q3 in is low level, switches S1~S4 (i.e. Fig.14 S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) in the table are all low level.
[0311] During the dead zone, the switches S1 to S4 are all in the off state, and there is no need to introduce current into the first node AC1 and the second node AC2.
[0312] During the first dead zone, since the first switch tube Q1, the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3 are in the off state, the fourth switch tube Q4 is in the on state, and the switches S1 to S4 are all in the off state. Fig.14 S-Q1 in the figure), the second switch tube Q2 (i.e. Fig.14 S-Q2) and the third switch tube Q3 (i.e. Fig.14 S-Q3 in the figure are all at low level, and the fourth switch tube Q4 (i.e. Fig.14 S-Q4 in is high level, switches S1~S4 (i.e. Fig.14 S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) in the table are all low level.
[0313] During the second dead zone, since the first switch tube Q1, the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3 are in the off state, the fourth switch tube Q4 is in the on state, and the switches S1 to S4 are all in the off state. Fig.14 S-Q1 in the figure), the second switch tube Q2 (i.e. Fig.14 S-Q2) and the third switch tube Q3 (i.e. Fig.14 S-Q3 in the figure are all at low level, and the fourth switch tube Q4 (i.e. Fig.14 S-Q4 in is high level, switches S1~S4 (i.e. Fig.14 S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) in the table are all low level.
[0314] Please continue to see Fig.14 , in modulation mode:
[0315] For the non-dead zone process, the third switch tube Q3 is normally turned off (or normally closed), the fourth switch tube Q4 is normally turned on (or normally open), and the timing of the second switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2 is: when it is detected that the body diodes of the second switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2 are turned on, the corresponding switch tubes are controlled to be turned on; when it is detected that the current flowing through the second switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2 passes through zero, the corresponding switch tubes are controlled to be turned off.
[0316] In the first non-dead zone, since the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4 are turned on, the second switch tube Q2 and the third switch tube Q3 are turned off. Switches S1 to S4 are all turned off. Therefore, the first switch tube Q1 (i.e. Fig.14 S-Q1 in the figure) and the fourth switch tube Q4 (i.e. Fig.14 S-Q4 in the figure is high level, and the second switch tube Q2 (i.e. Fig.14 S-Q2) and the third switch tube Q3 (i.e. Fig.14 S-Q3 in is low level, switches S1~S4 (i.e. Fig.14 S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) in the table are all low level.
[0317] In the second non-dead zone, since the first switch tube Q2 and the fourth switch tube Q4 are turned on, the second switch tube Q1 and the third switch tube Q3 are turned off. Switches S1 to S4 are all turned off. Therefore, the second switch tube Q2 (i.e. Fig.14 S-Q2) and the fourth switch tube Q4 (i.e. Fig.14 S-Q4 in the figure is high level, and the second switch tube Q1 (i.e. Fig.14 S-Q1 in the figure) and the third switch tube Q3 (i.e. Fig.14 S-Q3 in is low level, switches S1~S4 (i.e. Fig.14 S-S1, S-S2, S-S3, S-S4) in the table are all low level.
[0318] During the first dead zone, the voltage of the first node AC1 decreases. At this time, the second switch S2, the third switch S3 and the fourth switch S4 are controlled to be turned off, and the first switch S1 is controlled to be turned on. The first node AC1 introduces an injection current to slow down the speed at which the voltage of the first node AC1 decreases. Therefore, the first switch S1 (i.e. Fig.14 The S-S1 in the figure is at a high level, and the second switch S2 (i.e. Fig.14 S-S2 in the figure), the third switch S3 (i.e. Fig.14 S-S3 in the figure) and the fourth switch S4 (i.e. Fig.14 S-S4) in are all low level.
[0319] During the second dead zone, the voltage of the first node AC1 rises. At this time, the first switch S1, the third switch S3 and the fourth switch S4 are controlled to be turned off, and the second switch S2 is controlled to be turned on. The first node AC1 introduces a discharge current to slow down the speed at which the voltage of the first node AC1 rises. Therefore, the first switch S1 (i.e. Fig.11 S-S1 in the figure), the third switch S3 (i.e. Fig.11 S-S3 in the figure) and the fourth switch S4 (i.e. Fig.11 The S-S4 in the figure are all at low level, and the second switch S2 (i.e. Fig.11 S-S2) in is high level.
[0320] Understandably, Fig.14 The high level in the timing of the switch tubes Q1~Q4 corresponds to the on state, and the low level corresponds to the off state. Fig.14 The high level in the timing of switches S1 to S4 corresponds to the on state, and the low level corresponds to the off state.
[0321] Through the method of the fourth embodiment, in the modulation mode, the voltage change speed of the first node AC1 is slowed down, such as Fig.14 As shown by the dotted line portion of the first node AC1 in FIG. 1 , the slope of the voltage rise and fall of the first node AC1 during the dead zone becomes smaller, as shown in FIG. Fig.14 As shown in the dotted part of S-Q1 in the second dead zone, Q1 is turned on with a delay, as shown in Fig.14 As shown in the dotted part of S-Q2 during the first dead zone, Q2 is turned on with delay.

In the dead zone process, the method of controlling the constant current source to introduce a discharge current or an injection current to the first node slows down the rate of change of the voltage value of the first node, that is, the rate of change of the voltage value of the first node changes, which is equivalent to changing the output impedance of the receiving end, so that the current in the receiving end coil changes, and then causes the current of the transmitting end coil to change, thereby realizing the ASK modulation function.

Specifically, embodiment one and embodiment two are aimed at the full bridge working state, and the constant current source is controlled to introduce a discharge current or an injection current to the first node and the second node during the dead zone, so that the change rate of the voltage value of the first node and the second node is accelerated or slowed down, thereby realizing the ASK modulation function; embodiment three and embodiment four are aimed at the half bridge working state, and the constant current source is controlled to introduce a discharge current or an injection current to the first node and the second node during the dead zone, so that the change rate of the voltage value of the first node and the second node is accelerated or slowed down, thereby realizing the ASK modulation function. The methods in the four embodiments of this application can change the change rate of the voltage value of the first node and the second node, which is equivalent to changing the output impedance of the receiving end, so that the current in the receiving end coil changes, and then causes the current of the transmitting end coil to change, thereby realizing the ASK modulation function. It can reduce or remove off-chip capacitors, on-chip switch tubes and chip pins without affecting the ASK modulation effect.
