摘要:
The method and apparatus of the invention involve electronic power control by varying the amplitude of an electrical power supply voltage or current. A power controller is disclosed for controlling an AC input voltage to a load, the input voltage having one or more phases. The controller circuit has four independently controllable switches (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) and at least one inductor (L1), one such circuit for each input line to be regulated, the switches and inductor(s) of the circuit arranged in a conventional power regulator topology, whereby a selected regulator topology may be implemented, depending upon the position of the inductor(s) with respect to the input voltage. The controller has logic control with a two output polarity detector (160) in parallel with the input voltage, and a duty cycle modulator with two outputs; each of the outputs of the polarity detector and of duty modulator being inverted with respect to one another. Each switch is separately controlled and modulated by the logic control so that some combination of one or more of the switches is always electrically conducting.

A reference voltage generation circuit includes a first current mirror (CM1) including first through third transistors (P1, P2, P3) with the second transistor (P2) on a reference side thereof, a second current mirror (CM4) including fourth and fifth transistors (N1, N2) connected in series with the first and the second transistors (P1, P2), respectively, and a voltage control block (Vsd1, Vsd2) for controlling the source-drain voltages the transistors (P1, P3) on the output side of the first current mirror (CM1). The voltage control block includes a first control block (Vsd1) having a configuration similar to the first current mirror (CM1), and a second control block (Vsd2) having a configuration similar to the second current mirror (CM4), both of which are connected between the first current mirror (CM1) and the second current mirror (CM2), with corresponding transistors connected in series. A stable output voltage can be obtained irrespective of variations in the potential of the voltage source (Vdd) for the reference voltage generation circuit.
摘要:
A circuit is provided for generating reference voltages which are at constant values (V p ) with respect to a varying DC voltage (V DC ). A fixed reference voltage (V BG ) is generated which is fixed with respect to the ground voltage (V SS ). Fractions (Vi) of this fixed reference voltage are added and subtracted to the varying DC voltage ( VDC ) by means of differential amplifiers (A3;A4), in order to produce the desired reference voltages respective to the varying DC voltage (V DC ).
摘要:
Ausgehend von dem bekannten Prinzip des "Sense"-FET wird zwischen dem Meßausgang und einem an Masse liegenden Meßwiderstand (5) ein steuerbarer Widerstand (6) angeschlossen. Sein Widerstandswert wird immer so eingestellt, daß die Drain-Sourcespannungen von Leistungs-FET einander (1)und "Sense"-FET (2) gleich sind. Damit wird erreicht, daß der Meßstrom dem Laststrom unabhängig von der Größe der Last proportional ist.
摘要:
A low voltage current mirror termination circuit used with an ECL gate array for providing a constant output emitter follower reference current (Ief) which is independent of voltage variations in a separate output emitter follower power supply source (VEF) includes a lateral PNP transistor (Qp), an NPN mirror transistor (Qx), at least one pull-down transistor (Qf), and at least one NPN output emitter follower transistor (Qo). The current through the collector of the lateral PNP transistor (Qp) defines a mirror current (Ip). The base of the lateral transistor (Qp) is connected to receive a base bias voltage VEP. The current through the collector of the pull-down transistor (Qf) defines the constant output emitter follower reference current (lef) which is proportional to the mirror current (Ip). The separate emitter follower power supply source (VEF) has a voltage which is lower than a supply source (VEE) so as to reduce significantly the power consumption.
摘要:
A TTL compatible CMOS input circuit comprising a series of current mirror circuits (A, B, C) arranged so that the input transistor (Q4) is used to discharge the capacitive load (34) and one of a pair of transistors (Q4) in one of the mirror circuits (C) provides charging current for the load (34). Only one of the charging (Q3) and discharging (Q4) transistor switches is "on" at any one time, thus reducing circuit power consumption and reducing required device sizes. The input switching level is also independent of the supply voltage (18).
