In order to balance the thermal stress of the switches (S1-S4) of the two legs of an inverter full bridge (4), the driving signals are generated using an up-down counter having a modulation period Tmod of twice the period T of the input voltage (Vin). The up-down counter has a first compare value (41) of D/4 and a second compare value (42) of (2+D)/4, where D is the duty cycle and where the second half bridge is phase shifted by the period T.

A method for providing an output power of a switched mode power converter comprises the steps of determining a block length and, if a set value of the output power is below a first power threshold, preventing a power flow through the converter in each period of the multiphase AC voltage for at least one blocking interval. Each blocking interval has a duration of one block length. The switched mode power converter has a multiphase AC side with a number N of conductors for receiving a multiphase AC voltage. The number N of conductors is at least three. Power flows into the switched mode power converter through a combination of current-carrying conductors. The block length is defined by a time span between two subsequent changes of the combination of the current-carrying conductors.

In a system for wirelessly transferring power from a primary side across an airgap to a secondary side, the secondary side includes two parallel resonating circuits (27) each including two parallel resonating paths with a series connection of a resonating inductor (28), and a resonating capacitor 29. A rectifier (21) is connected to the output of each resonating path for converting the AC output (12′) of the resonating paths to a DC output (13′). The outputs of the rectifiers (21) are connected in parallel to provide the AC output power (13) to a load such as a battery or the like. Each resonating path further includes a symmetry inductance connected in series to improve current sharing among the resonating paths and to reduce the higher harmonic portion in the resonating paths. For balancing the flux each resonating circuit 27 includes in a preferred embodiment of the invention a symmetry winding (30) wound on the same core as the resonating inductor 28 of that resonating path where all symmetry windings (3) are connected in parallel to ensure optimal flux sharing.

A power adapter includes a power converting circuit, a current detecting circuit, and a controlling unit. A charging voltage with a constant voltage level is provided by the hub through the connecting ports. The current detecting circuit is used for detecting a load current and outputting a corresponding current detecting signal. The load current is transmitted from the power converting circuit to the hub through the power cable. A look-up table is stored in the controlling unit for recording a relationship between the load current and a voltage drop across an impedance of the power cable. According to the current detecting signal and the look-up table, the controlling unit issues a feedback signal to the power converting circuit. According to the feedback signal, a level of the output voltage is dynamically adjusted to be equal to the sum of the voltage drop and the charging voltage.
