APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

input to the LTC4120 to prevent exceeding the absolute

maximum rating of the LTC4120. Diode D6 (in Figure 4

and Figure 10) illustrates this connection.

The RMS voltage at the rectifier output depends on the

load of the LTC4120, i.e., the charge current, as well as the

both on the components of the tuned network as well as

the applied DC voltage. The load at the receiver depends

on the state of charge of the battery. If the coupling and/

or the applied AC current is not well controlled, the addi-

tion of a 39V Zener diode (D6 in Figures 4 and 10) at the

input to the LTC4120 will prevent overvoltage conditions

from damaging the LTC4120.

Resonant Transmitter and Receiver

An example DC/AC transmitter is shown in Figure 10.

A 5V ±5% supply to the transmitter efficiently produces a

higher voltage inputs, a pre-regulator DC/DC converter

can be used to generate 5V (see Figure 11). Power is

transmitted from transmitter to receiver at the resonant
