A first circuit assembly has primary-side circuitry galvanically coupled to a port for connection to an input power source. The primary-side circuitry includes a primary-side communicator for sending or receiving control information used in controlling operation of the power conversion apparatus. A second circuit assembly has secondary-side circuitry galvanically coupled to a port for connection to a load.

    摘要: A primary-side sampled feedback system includes a sample acquisition phase during which the voltage across the clamp capacitor is sensed as a measure of the primary-reflect output voltage. One end of the clamp capacitor is ground-referenced during the sample acquisition phase. The sample circuitry, which may include a transformer-coupled input for receiving the gate drive of the secondary switch, may use primary side, secondary-side, or primary and secondary side signals to generate the sample acquisition control pulse and clamp switch drive signal. The sample acquisition control pulse occurs when the secondary current reaches its minimum or zero.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for adaptively configuring an array of voltage transformation modules is disclosed. The aggregate voltage transformation ratio of the adaptive array is adjusted to digitally regulate the output voltage for a wide range of input voltages. An integrated adaptive array having a plurality of input cells, a plurality of output cells, or a plurality of both is also disclosed. The input and output cells may be adaptively configured to provide an adjustable transformer turns ratio for the adaptive array or in the case of an integrated VTM, an adjustable voltage transformation ratio for the integrated VTM. A controller is used to configure the cells and provide digital regulation of the output. A converter having input cells configured as a complementary pair, which are switched out of phase, reduces common mode current and noise. Series connected input cells are used for reducing primary switch voltage ratings in a converter and enabling increased operating frequency or efficiency. An off-line auto-ranging power supply topology is disclosed. An auto-ranging converter module (“ACM”) includes 2 or more input cells magnetically coupled to an output cell providing auto-ranging, isolation, and voltage transformation. The ACM converts a rectified line voltage to a low DC bus voltage. The topology allows regulation and power factor correction to be provided at a low voltage increasing energy density and efficiency and reducing cost. A fully integrated PCM may also include a hold-up circuit, a DC input, and a power regulator with or without power factor correction. A PCM with PFC may combine the hold-up and smoothing capacitors for further increases in power density.

    摘要: A transformer-coupled buck-boost DC-DC power converter is disclosed. An active clamp circuit is provided to form a resonant circuit with the transformer to control the slew rate of the secondary current and allow the secondary switch to be turned ON at conditions of zero voltage and relatively low current. The characteristic resonant period of the active clamp transformer circuit may be less than the minimum converter operating period. A winding of the transformer is shunted during a clamp phase to retain energy in the transformer. ZVS phases are provided to reduce switching losses when switches in the converter are turned ON. An energy-storage phase may be varied to control the amount of energy stored per operating cycle. An input-storage phase may transfer energy to the clamp capacitor during a series of converter operating cycles and transfer said energy to the secondary during different converter operating cycles.
