Hi
I'm working on a transformer to supply power from one PCB to another
PCB. The transformer consists of spiral-traces in the PCB and likewise
on the receiver PCB. The optimum frequency of this transformer is just
below the resonant frequency (~10MHz) where maximum power is
transferred
I need to have a circuit that dynamically changes the frequency so that
if the two PCBs are moved apart the frequency is changed accordingly
My thought is to measure the current into the primary winding and
relating this current to the voltage accross this winding. When these
vectors are in phase the load should be resistive and thus in resonance
and optimum power is acchieved.
I have been looking at the 4046 PLL to create a loop to maintain 0
degrees phase in regulation. The type I phase detector of the 4046 will
output (after LP filtering) 0*VDD at 0 degrees phase difference. But
I'm worried about operating at this low range of phase difference. And
if this scheme will work at-all.
Has anyone of you guys tried anything simelar - a locked phase circuit
like this?
Thanks
Klaus
