Abstract

A power transmission control device provided in a power transmission device of a non-contact power transmission system includes a drive clock signal generation circuit that generates a drive clock signal specifying a drive frequency of a primary coil, a driver control circuit that generates a driver control signal based on the drive clock signal, and outputs the driver control signal to a transmission driver, a waveform detection circuit that detects a change in waveform of an induced voltage signal of the primary coil, and a control circuit that performs foreign object detection based on a detection result of the waveform detection circuit. The drive clock signal generation circuit outputs the drive clock signal set at a foreign object detection frequency during foreign object detection, the foreign object detection frequency being a frequency differing from a normal power transmission frequency.
