    摘要: A voltage converter delivers an output voltage between a first and a second node. The voltage converter includes a capacitor series-coupled with a resistor between the first and second nodes. The resistor is coupled in parallel with a bidirectional switch receiving at its control terminal a positive bias voltage referenced to the second node.

    摘要: A method and a circuit for complying with specified maximum values for output parameters a power supply unit includes at least a non-floating switch converter, an output voltage control unit, a current limiter and a switch element, wherein actual values of the current and voltage outputs of the power supply unit are measured continuously, where an evaluation unit calculates actual output power values of the power supply unit from the actual measured values of the output current and voltages, and subsequently compares at least the respective actually measured values of the output current and the respective actually calculated output power values with specified maximum values such that if at least one of the specified maximum values is exceeded by an actually measured value of the output current and/or by an actually calculated output power value, a current flow in the power supply unit is then interrupted by the evaluation unit.

    摘要: A resistor ladder comprising identical resistors is disposed electrically in parallel with a multicell battery to calibrate voltage-controlled oscillators or analog-to-digital convertors for voltage balancing the battery cells in the multicell battery. Switches in a first state provide the voltage across each resistor as inputs to the VCOs or ADCs. The number of oscillations of the output signal of each VCO or ADC over a predetermined time period are compared to determine an offset error. Switches in a second state provide the voltage across each battery cell as inputs to the VCOs or ADCs. The battery cells with a higher relative voltage can be discharged until they are balanced. Some aspects describe temperature-adjusted and interpolated determinations of electrical quantities in the cells such as voltage and/or current.

    摘要: A control device for controlling a power source connected to an alternating-current (AC) power system includes: a frequency control unit that controls a frequency of the power source operating in a constant-voltage constant-frequency control scheme; a power calculation unit that calculates, when the frequency control unit varies a frequency of the power source, a variation of an effective power output from the power source; an arithmetic unit that calculates a frequency characteristics constant of the AC power system, based on a variation of the frequency of the power source and the variation of the effective power output from the power source; and a selection unit that selects a control scheme for the power source, based on the frequency characteristics constant of the AC power system.
