Abstract:
The invention concerns a circuit for detecting an overload in a load supplied by a switched-mode power supply, comprising: a first comparator of a first voltage based on the supply voltage of the load relative to a first threshold, supplying a regulating signal to a pulse generator controlling the switched-mode power supply; a second comparator of a second voltage relative to a second threshold, supplying a signal indicating the presence of an overload; and means for automatically controlling said second voltage by a third threshold lower than the second and higher than the first, and for deactivating the second comparator as long as said automatic control is maintained.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a supply circuit with a storage capacitor and a method of control of this circuit including, across a rectifying bridge, a storage capacitor associated with a charge path and with a discharge path, in which the duration of charge periods of the storage capacitor is set, at least at steady state, to a predetermined duration.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device for limiting transient variations of a voltage for supplying a load from a dc/dc converter, including an input terminal, that receives the voltage provided by the converter, and connected to an output terminal of the device connected to the load; a first power transistor connected between a supply voltage of the converter and the output terminal; a second power transistor connected between the output terminal and the ground; and means for linearly and individually controlling each power transistor in case of an abrupt variation of the load.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device for improving the harmonic ratio sent back onto the mains in a rectified power supply including a rectifying bridge and at least one capacitor connected to a first output terminal of the rectifying bridge. Between the second terminal of the capacitor and a second output terminal, a first charge path including a resistor is provided, as well as a second switchable discharge path, associated with means for switching on the discharge path only after the supply voltage has transmitted through a maximum.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a switching supply device having a power factor close to unity. The device is characterized by its limited number of components, namely only one power switch, only one control circuit and basic components. Application to power supplies for fluorescent lamps (lighting).
Abstract:
A direct television broadcasting satellite facility (S1, S2, S3) having at least two coverage areas (T1, T2). At the beginning of the life of the facility, with present Standards, only two satellites (S1, S2) each having two beams (F1 & F2 and F'1 & F'2) are used, each satellite having 12 channel and redundancy amplifiers for five channels. When high-definition television is subsequently introduced progressively, the amplifiers will be coupled together in parallel and in pairs, and at least one additional satellite (S3), identical to the two initial satellites, will be launched when required.
