Abstract: A method for controlling an operation of a converter circuit adapted to regulate power transfer between a first voltage source and a second voltage source includes detecting a first voltage level of the first voltage source and a second voltage level of the second voltage source; calculating a power value based on the detected first voltage level and the detected second voltage level; comparing the calculated power value with a reference power value; and determining switching time of one or more switches in the converter circuit based on a compared result so as to regulate power transfer between the first voltage source and the second voltage source.

Abstract: One example embodiment is a method executed by a microcontroller with a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) circuit to control a semi-dual-active-bridge (SDAB) converter that includes a first side bridge circuit, a second side bridge circuit and a transformer. The microcontroller determines a current operation mode and a target operation mode of the SDAB converter. The microcontroller determines an optimal ratio and calculates changes of each gating signal that are applied to the first side bridge circuit and the second side bridge circuit respectively.

Abstract: A battery charger with power factor correction is provided. In particular, the battery charger is configured to work in a discontinuous current mode with a power factor that is almost unity but no bulky electrolytic capacitor is needed in the charger. The charger has a rectification circuit producing a rectified voltage to a first controllable switching circuit, whose output is fed to a series resonant tank series-connecting a first winding of a high-frequency transformer. The second winding thereof is connected to a second controllable switching circuit, whose output is a DC voltage for battery charging. The charger includes a control unit for generating a first control signal and a second control signal to control the first and the second controllable switching circuits, respectively, such that the current flowing in the first winding is substantially phase-aligned with the first control signal's waveform, thereby facilitating power factor correction.
