Abstract:
A circuit for a multi-voltage input AC/DC charger, such as a Universal AC input AC/DC charger, is provided, comprising a plurality of capacitors having different voltage ratings that are connected in parallel, and a switching circuit comprising input voltage sensing and comparator drive circuitry, to allow for selective connection of one or more of the plurality of capacitors, responsive to a sensed input voltage. Since bulk capacitors occupy a significant proportion of the volume of an AC/DC charger, this solution provides for a reduction in system volume, with associated improvement in the power density of an isolated AC/DC charger.
