A Kalman observer is designed to obtain the load resistance variation and the integrated voltage error which is used to compensate the current reference calculation.

The shallow P-region junction causes P-region/N- epi junction being apt to avalanche breakdown. So, trigger voltage is reduced. Furthermore, a new parasitic PNP transistor including the P-region as collector provides another leakage channel for ESD current and then the conductivity modulation in the SCR is weakened. As a result, holding voltage is increased. The physics mechanism of the above high performance is investigated via Technology Computer Aided Design (TCAD) simulation under ESD condition.

The advantages of both IPT and CPT are utilized and the shortcomings of them are tactfully avoided. For the applications like the wireless charging of Laptop, pad or drone where both IPT and CPT is realizable, it is desired to charge with HWPT system since it offers better charging robustness and system efficiency.
