摘要:
A single transistor DC--DC battery charger provides ohmic isolation with a multiple winding high frequency transformer. The transistor's duty cycle is determined from an isolated voltage proportional to battery voltage obtained from a signal winding of the transformer when the transistor is off.

A high gain latching Darlington transistor comprises a gate turn-off thyristor and a load transistor coupled in Darlington configuration. Circuit means including a diode are coupled to the gate turn-off thyristor and the transistor to provide a low loss path for load transistor current which reverse biases the gate-cathode junction of the thyristor at thyristor turn-off to prevent premature device conduction. The latching Darlington transistor configured in this manner thus operates as a conventional gate turn-off thyristor, capable of being pulsed into and out of conduction, but yet exhibits improved dv/dt capability and increased turn-off gain, typically between 10 and 100 times the turn-off gain of the individual gate turn-off thyristor.

A high current switching transistor controlling a load in its collector circuit receives from a drive circuit sufficient base current necessary to render the transistor conductive. A low loss inductor and switching means are connected to the base of the transistor such that when switching means are rendered nonconductive, current from the inductor flows into the base of the transistor to render it conductive, thus energizing the load.Regulating means coupled between a source of relatively high DC potential and the inductor together with unidirectional feedback path means provide a continuous current into the inductor such that when regulating means are substantially nonconductive, current is diverted away from the base of the high current transistor and circulates through the unidirectional feedback path and low loss inductor.

摘要:
A converter for an ac power distribution system provides a square-wave voltage of low output impedance to an ac power distribution bus for driving a plurality of loads, each load including a rectifier and an input filter capacitor. Slew-rate limiting capacitors are employed to limit the rate of change of voltage on the ac distribution bus, thereby substantially reducing or eliminating conducted and radiated interference from the power distribution system due to high-frequency components of current which would otherwise flow in parasitic capacitances. In addition, zero-voltage switching is employed to achieve highly efficient converter operation. As other advantages, this converter scheme allows for simplification of converters at the load end of the power distribution system (e.g., to simple rectifiers with post regulators), while producing lower ac line currents, lower current harmonics and higher power factors than those of a sine-wave generation system.

A gate driver circuit, including either a full-bridge or a half-bridge configuration of gate drive switching devices, is capable of applying gate drive signals of variable pulse widths in a substantially loss,less manner to power switching devices of a high-frequency resonant switching converter, while providing transformer isolation between the gate drive electronics and the power switching devices.
摘要:
A circuit for "resetting" snubbers in a series resonant bridge inverter maintains lossless snubber action during light-load and no-load inverter operation and during operation near resonance. Series resonant circuit operation is controlled to be above the resonant frequency to ensure operation at a lagging power factor. The snubber-resetting operation is facilitated by a relatively small inductor connected across the output terminals of the series resonant inverter.
