9.1

Selection Phase

In the selection phase, the power transmitter determines if it will proceed to the ping phase after detecting the placement of an object. In this

phase, the power transmitter typically monitors the interface surface for the placement and removal of objects using a small measurement

signal. This measurement signal should not wake up a power receiver that is positioned on the interface surface.

9.2

Ping Phase (Digital Ping)

In the ping phase, the power transmitter will transmit power and will detect the response from a possible power receiver. This response

ensures the power transmitter that it is dealing with a power receiver rather than some unknown object. When a power receiver is placed on a

WPC “Qi” charging pad, it responds to the application of a power signal by rectifying this power signal. When the internal bias voltage is

greater than a specific threshold level, then receiver is initiated enabling the WPC communication protocol.

If the power transmitter correctly receives a signal strength packet, the power transmitter proceeds to the identification and configuration

phase of the power transfer, maintaining the power signal output.
