    摘要: Systems, methods, and circuits for providing zero voltage switching conditions across all load conditions in a full-bridge DC/DC converter. An asymmetric auxiliary circuit is provided and the reactive current due to the auxiliary circuit is controlled across various load conditions. This is done by adaptively adjusting the switching frequency of the converter as well as the phase shift of the rising edges of the waveforms for activating the gates in the leading and lagging legs of the full bridge converter.

    摘要: Circuits and methods relating to the provision of a reactive current to ensure zero voltage switching in a boost power factor correction converter. A simple passive circuit using a series connected inductor and capacitor are coupled between two phases of an interleaved boost PFC converter. The passive circuit takes advantage of the 180° phase-shift between the two phases to provide reactive current for zero voltage switching. A control system for adjusting and controlling the reactive current to ensure ZVS for different loads and line voltages is also provided.

    摘要: This invention provides an integrated power supply for a controller of an electronic ballast for a fluorescent lamp. The integrated power supply couples output power from the electronic ballast and uses the coupled power to provide power to the controller. In one embodiment, the electronic ballast may include a rectifier for converting an alternating current input voltage into a direct current output voltage, and a circuit including a combined power factor correction (PFC) stage and an inverter, wherein the PFC stage and the inverter share a switch. Also provided is a controller for an electronic ballast. The controller may include a voltage mode or current mode duty ratio controller that controls a duty ratio of a switch of the ballast. The controller and the ballast allow dimming of the fluorescent lamp while maintaining a high power factor.

    摘要: A structure and method is provided for DC to DC conversion using switched-capacitors. The DC-DC converter uses an optimized configuration of capacitors and switches that maximize the number of attainable ideal conversion ratios for the given number of capacitors. A method is provided for controlling the converter, wherein the control circuitry generates a multiphase switching sequence which turns the switches on and off in a cyclical manner. Sample switching sequences are provided to generate a set of attainable ideal conversion ratios, for up to three floating capacitors. The converter is programmable, modular and capable of dynamically varying its ideal conversion gain. It can be used to both step-up and step-down the input voltage.

    摘要: Systems and methods relating to zero voltage switching for inverters. A full bridge inverter is used in conjunction with a passive auxiliary circuit and an output filter. A control system controls the current by way of the auxiliary circuit and injects a high quality current to a power grid. The control system adjusts the duty ratio and switching frequency of the gate pulses applied to the power semiconductors in the full-bridge inverter. As well, the control system adjusts the phase shift between gate pulses for both the leading leg and lagging leg power semiconductors to control the current passing through the auxiliary circuit.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and devices relating to the controlling of a grid-connected inverter. A grid connected inverter is controlled by a proportional-resonant controller which tracks the grid current. To adjust for changes in grid conditions, an update block dynamically and continuously adjusts coefficients used by the controller to ensure high gains provided by the controller at the grid frequency. A harmonic compensator is also provided to ensure that high loop gains at harmonic frequencies of the grid frequency are also provided for. To also adjust for changing grid conditions, a second update block also continuously adjusts the coefficients used by the harmonic compensator.

    摘要: A control approach of adjusting the input power of a power factor correction (PFC) stage so that the output voltage (DC-link) of the input AC/DC stage to an intermediate DC voltage (DC-Bus voltage) is adjusted based on the amount of power required to charge a high energy battery is disclosed. The present invention controls the input power of the PFC instead of the DC-bus voltage as is common in conventional methods. Therefore, a very fast response compared to the conventional sluggish voltage loop can be achieved. Also, having different DC-bus voltages for different output load conditions allows the DC/DC converter to work with an optimal duty cycle for a whole range of load variations.
