The present disclosure describes aspects of switched-capacitor power ramping for soft switching. In some aspects, a resonant circuit of a wireless power transmitter includes a portion of capacitance that is switchable. This portion of capacitance can be disconnected from the resonant circuit to detune the resonant circuit, which may affect voltage or current flow in the resonant circuit. For example, when ramping transmitted power up or down, detuning the resonant circuit may enable an inverter of the wireless power transmitter to continuously soft switch through the power ramping process. By so doing, hard switching of the inverter can be avoided and the inverter can be implemented with lower-power or less expensive components.
