CONTACTLESS POWER SUPPLY DEVICE AND CONTACTLESS CHARGING SYSTEM

摘要

A primary-side controller (12) retains a reference current value corresponding to an input current measured in the previous detection cycle by an input current measurement unit (11), in a charging state. The primary-side controller (12) adds the retained reference current value and a predetermined current value, and generates a first threshold value. When the input current measured by the input current measurement unit (11) in the latest detection cycle is equal to or greater than the first threshold value, a determination is made that a foreign metal is present in the vicinity of a first coil (L1).
