As mentioned above, controller/communications module 116 may be a single module, for example, provided on a single integrated circuit, or may be constructed from multiple modules/devices provided on different integrated circuits or a combination of integrated and discrete circuits having both analog and digital components. The teachings herein are not limited to any particular arrangement of the controller/communications circuitry.
PTx device 110 may optionally include other systems and components, such as a separate communications module 118. In some embodiments, comms module 118 may communicate with a corresponding module tag in the PRx via the power transfer coils. In other embodiments, comms module 118 may communicate with a corresponding module using a separate physical channel 138.
