Abstract:
In a power supply apparatus, one of a transformer and a first semiconductor device is stacked on the other thereof to constitute a stack assembly. The stack assembly, a second semiconductor device, and a choke coil are located on the major surface. A primary direct-current wire, which connects the first semiconductor device to a direct-current power source, is drawn out from a first predetermined portion of the stack assembly. A primary alternating-current wire, which connects the first semiconductor device and the transformer, is drawn out from a second predetermined portion of the stack assembly. The primary direct-current wire and the primary alternating-current wire are located to be separated from each other via at least a part of the stack assembly.
Abstract:
A power-supply apparatus is provided which includes a transformer, a primary semiconductor unit, a secondary semiconductor unit, and a secondary electronic device. Each of the primary semiconductor unit and the secondary semiconductor units has a plurality of semiconductor devices installed therein. The transformer, the primary semiconductor unit, the secondary semiconductor unit, and the secondary electronic device are electrically joined through connecting conductors. The transformer is laid on the primary semiconductor unit to make a first stack. Similarly, the secondary electronic device is laid on the secondary semiconductor unit. This permits the power-supply apparatus to be reduced in overall size thereof and minimizes adverse effects of electromagnetic noise to ensure the high efficiency in power supply operation.
Abstract:
A power conversion apparatus includes an input side terminal, an output side terminal and a switch unit, switching the switch unit between ON and OFF during a power transmission. The switch unit has characteristics that, in the case where a reverse current flows through the switch unit, the larger a gate voltage thereof in a negative side, the larger a conduction loss occurring when the reverse current flows. The power conversion apparatus is provided with a control unit that increases, when determined that the increase request for increasing the heating value is present, the gate voltage of the switch unit to the negative side when turned OFF compared to a case where no increase request for increasing the heating value is present, the reverse current flowing through the switch unit during the power transmission.
Abstract:
A power conversion apparatus supplies power from a DC power supply to a capacitive load by a current input push-pull DCDC converter provided with switching elements Q1 and Q2. When a capacitive load voltage is not larger than a second predetermined value, a first mode is used which turns ON one of the switching elements Q1 and Q2 alternated with turning OFF both. When the capacitive load voltage is larger than the second predetermined value but not larger than a first predetermined value, a second mode is used which turns ON both of the switching elements Q1 and Q2, then turns ON one of them, then turns OFF both, sequentially. When the capacitive load voltage is larger than the first predetermined value, a third mode is used, turning ON both of the switching elements Q1 and Q2 alternated with turning ON one of them.
Abstract:
Power conversion apparatus converts input voltage and supplies output voltage to the electric load. The apparatus includes a semiconductor switch switches between open and closed states to regulate voltage control current for controlling output voltage, a first voltage detection section detects remote voltage being applied to the electric load as output voltage, a second voltage detection section detects a local voltage being applied to the output terminal as output voltage, a target current calculation section calculates target current which is the voltage control current target value, based on voltage deviation between target voltage which is the output voltage target value and either remote voltage or local voltage, and a switch control section controls the semiconductor switch so voltage control current becomes target current, to regulate output voltage to target voltage. The target current calculation section calculates the target current by using one of the remote or local voltage corresponds to a smaller target current.
Abstract:
An electric power source device has a transformer, a primary-side semiconductor module, a secondary-side semiconductor module, a secondary-side electrical component, a base plate and a circuit substrate on which substrate-side electrical components are mounted. The primary-side semiconductor module has a larger exterior size than the secondary-side electrical component. The primary-side semiconductor module and the secondary-side electrical component form a stacked section. In the stacked section, the secondary-side electrical component is stacked, in a vertical direction, i.e. a direction of a normal line of a mounting surface of the base plate, on the primary-side semiconductor module. The primary-side semiconductor module is directly mounted on the mounting surface. At least a part of the substrate-side electrical components is arranged inside of the primary-side semiconductor module in a horizontal direction, and inside of a second surface of the stacked section toward the mounting surface along the normal line.
