    摘要: A power supply controller controls power supplies for power-up and/or shut-down in a desired sequence. An input voltage for the power supplies powers, and is monitored by, a first control unit having outputs for enabling the power supplies. A second control unit monitors output voltages of the power supplies, and an isolating signal coupler couples signals in both directions between the first and second control units. The second control unit is powered in an isolated manner from the input voltage, conveniently via a transformer constituting the signal coupler. The control units together respond to the monitored voltages for enabling the power supplies in accordance with the desired sequence, information for which can be stored in a non-volatile store. The second control unit can also include enable outputs isolated from the input voltage, and trim outputs for adjusting the monitored voltages.

    摘要: A switch is coupled to a control circuit and to an input of a power converter. The control circuit is coupled to drive the switch in a first operating mode to transfer energy from the input to an output of the power converter when an electrical energy source is coupled to the input of the power converter. The control circuit is coupled to drive the switch in a second operating mode when the electrical energy source is uncoupled from the input. A capacitance is coupled between input terminals of the input of the power converter and is discharged to a threshold voltage in less than a maximum period of time from when the electrical energy source is uncoupled from the input terminals. The control circuit is coupled to drive the switch to have a high average impedance in the first operating mode.

    摘要: A plurality of DC power supply modules have track pins interconnected for tracking of output voltages of the modules during power-up and normal power-down. Each module pulls down its track pin voltage in response to any fault, and detects a track pin voltage below a threshold to detect a fault communicated from any other module, to facilitate fault power-down. The track pin voltage is initially raised above the threshold for power-up. One module can be designated a master for monitoring an input voltage to the modules and for determining the track pin voltage for normal power-up and power-down.

    摘要: A control unit controls cascaded PFC and LLC converters, the LLC converter having an input coupled to an output, of the PFC converter and providing an output voltage that decreases with increasing switching frequency. The control unit produces a sawtooth waveform with a linear ramp for controlling the LLC converter switching frequency, and hence its output voltage, in dependence upon a feedback signal. It also produces for the PFC converter a PWM signal with a frequency that is the same as or an integer fraction of the LLC converter switching frequency, by comparing two thresholds with the linear ramp in respective different cycles of the sawtooth waveform to turn on and off a switch of the PFC converter during these different cycles. Logic circuits prevent PFC converter switch transitions from occurring simultaneously with switching transitions of the LLC converter.
