    摘要: A multiphase interleaved forward power converter includes an inductor and first and second subconverter comprising respective transformers. The converter also includes first and second drives configured to respectively operate the first and second subconverters with cycling periods comprising a conduction period, a reset period, and an idle period. The first and second drives are also configured to phase shift the cycling periods in each subconverter such that the conduction period of the subconverter is at least partially complementary to the idle period of the other subconverter. The second drive also clamps a voltage across a winding of the transformer of the first subconverter to substantially prevent a first resonance voltage from propagating in the first subconverter during the idle period of the first subconverter.

    摘要: A vehicle includes an electric power converter; an electric power storage device; a control unit. The control unit is configured to i) increase command electric power stepwise by a specified reference amount toward target electric power, ii) after the command electric power reaches the target electric power, reduce the command electric power each time a voltage of the electric power storage device exceeds a first threshold voltage, and iii) stop supply of electric power from an external power supply when the voltage of the electric power storage device reaches a second threshold voltage that is higher than the first threshold voltage. The specified reference amount is set such that an increased amount of the voltage of the electric power storage device at each step of increasing the command electric power is smaller than a voltage difference between the second threshold voltage and the first threshold voltage.

    摘要: An LED luminaire comprises a power switching driver, an electric current controller, LED array(s) powered by the electric current controller, and a detection and control circuit. The detection and control circuit comprises comparator(s), a voltage regulator circuit, and a pair of low-voltage input/output ports receiving an external voltage. The detection and control circuit is configured to extract a controllable feedback signal voltage from an output voltage coupled from the power switching driver, an output current driving the LED array(s), and the external voltage and to couple to the electric current controller to change the output current driving the LED array(s). The external voltage comprises a voltage sent from a wireless luminaire controller, which comprises a wireless module and a meter and control unit. The wireless luminaire controller is configured to receive commands from the wireless module, to control the LED luminaire, and to measure in response to the commands.

    摘要: A circuit includes a power supply circuit and a ripple reduction circuit. The power supply circuit supplies a Direct Current (DC) lighting current to a light emitting circuit. The lighting current has a ripple current at a ripple frequency. The ripple reduction circuit receives the lighting current, and performs, based on the received lighting current, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) of the lighting current at a PWM frequency. The PWM frequency is higher than the ripple frequency. By performing the PWM, the ripple reduction current reduces variations in a magnitude of the lighting current at the ripple frequency. The PWM frequency may be higher than a frequency at which variations in the magnitude of the light produced by the lighting circuit have a harmful effect on the human eye.
