    Abstract: AC to DC converters, more specifically Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuits, using a multi-level waveform and hybrid devices are presented. From an AC voltage input a multi-level waveform is generated, which is used to generate high and low DC output voltage levels. The multi-level waveform is connected to the DC outputs through a correpsonding intermediate node by an initial switch, and from the intermediate node to the correpsonding output by a hybrid device. The hybrid device includes a first current path, such as a series connected switch-diode pair, in parallel with second current path of a relativley faster and lower current device, such as a diode. The resultant arrangement can use devices having lower voltage ratings relative to typical PFC cirucit designs.

    Abstract: An inverter apparatus is provided for converting direct current to alternating current. The inverter apparatus includes a boost converter coupled between a power source and a bypass circuit, and a power inverter coupled between the bypass circuit and a load to generate an output voltage. The output voltage is powered by the power source directly via the bypass circuit without activating the boost converter when the output voltage is smaller than a threshold voltage. The output voltage is powered by the power source boosted by the boost converter when the output voltage is larger than the threshold voltage. High efficiency is achieved by bypassed the boost converter.

    Abstract: A method comprises detecting a signal representing a drain-to-source voltage of a switch of a synchronous rectifier of an inductor-inductor-capacitor (LLC) resonant converter, comparing the signal with a predetermined threshold, generating a first logic state if the drain-to-source voltage is greater than the predetermined threshold, generating a second logic state if the drain-to-source voltage is less than the predetermined threshold and in response to the first logic state and the second logic state, adjusting a switching frequency of the LLC resonant converter such that the switching frequency moves back and forth across a boundary of body diode conduction, wherein a frequency difference between the switching frequency and a resonant frequency of the LLC resonant converter is less than or equal to one frequency adjustment step.

    Abstract: A converter is provided. The converter includes a first DC/DC converter, a non-isolated DC/DC converter and a control circuit. The first DC/DC converter includes a transformer, a primary side inverter and a secondary side rectifier. The primary side inverter and a secondary side rectifier are operable at multiple operating modes. The control circuit determines an operating mode for the primary side inverter or the secondary side rectifier, and controls the primary side inverter or the secondary side rectifier to change its respective operating mode.
