    摘要: In a power converter, the duty cycle of a primary winding circuit causes near continuous flow of power through the primary and secondary winding circuits during normal operation. By providing no regulation during normal operation, a very efficient circuit is obtained with a synchronous rectifier in the secondary operating at all times. However, during certain conditions such as start up or a short-circuit, the duty cycle of the primary may be reduced to cause freewheeling periods. A normally non-regulating isolation stage may be followed by plural non-isolating regulation stages. To simplify the gate drive, the synchronous rectifiers may be allowed to turn off for a portion of the cycle when the duty cycle is reduced. A filter inductance of the secondary winding circuit is sufficient to minimize ripple during normal operation, but allows large ripple when the duty cycle is reduced. By accepting large ripple during other than normal operation, a smaller filter inductance can be used.

    摘要: A self-driven synchronous rectifier circuit having synchronous rectifiers with floating gates for a power converter or signal transformer. The circuit comprises a transformer (49, 70) having a secondary winding with a first and second terminal, a first synchronous rectifier (SQ1) coupled to the first transformer secondary winding first terminal and having a control terminal floating relative to ground and a first drive circuit coupled to the first synchronous rectifier floating control terminal and controlling the first synchronous rectifier. A first control signal is coupled to the first drive circuit, where the first control signal controls the first drive circuit as a function of a polarity reversal of a voltage across the first transformer (49, 70). A second synchronous rectifier (SQ2) is coupled to the first transformer secondary winding second terminal and has a control terminal floating relative to ground. A second drive circuit is coupled to the second synchronous rectifier floating control terminal and controls the second synchronous rectifier. A second control signal is coupled to the second drive circuit, where the second control signal controls the second drive circuit as a function of a polarity reversal of a voltage across the first transformer (49, 70).

    摘要: A boost converter includes a snubber with finite but limited losses to minimize active power switching losses and minimize turn-off losses of the boost diode without generating any additional circulating energy losses. An inductor is connected so as to slow turn off of the boost diode and minimize reverse recovery losses. This inductor additionally minimizes the turn-on switching losses of the active power switch of the converter by providing for zero-current turn-on. A series connection of a finite resistor and a second diode is connected in shunt with the inductor/boost diode connection to prevent excessive voltage ringing across the active power switch by clamping its voltage during turn-off. A third diode is connected to the junction of the inductor and boost diode to prevent the voltage across the boost diode from ringing during the on interval of the active power switch.

    摘要: An estimating circuit for application in estimating or deriving the value V.sub.rms.sup.2 or V.sub.peak.sup.2, of a line voltage V.sub.AC provides fast response time and a substantially ripple free value for these signals by the utilization of a controlled harmonic oscillator whose output precisely tracks the input voltage waveform. Two out of phase (by .pi./2) sine wave signals are derived from the input sine wave and these two out of phase signals are squared and summed to derive or estimate the desired square of the sine waveform signal at a fast response time while substantially excluding ripple of the estimated out of phase sine waves. An estimating circuit, described herein, comprises two integrator circuits series connected into a substantially closed loop. The output of the second integrator circuit is fed back to the input of the first integrator circuit. The output of each individual integrator circuit is a voltage sine wave separated in phase from the output of the other integrator by .pi./2 and in synchronism with the input substantially sine wave voltage V.sub.AC. The output of each of the integrator circuits is squared in an associated squaring circuit. Each output of one of the two squaring circuits is summed with the output of the other squaring circuit to produce the desired value of V.sub.peak.sup.2 or V.sub.rms.sup.2.

    摘要: A power factor control system for a rectifier is operative through the generation of estimators of control input parameters (a peak squared input AC voltage E.sub.m.sup.2 and load power) and by the use of these substantially ripple free signals controls a boost, buck, buck-boost, SEPIC or other related type converter at the input to the rectifier. The generation of these parameters allows the derivation of a programmed current i.sub.p used to control the wave form of the actual input current. The control procedure is based on a quarter cycle averaged power basis. The input power is derived from the rms values of the input voltage and current. Given the output power and its deviations in power due to load changes, the programmed current i.sub.p is determined by deriving an input conductance of the rectifier and combining it with the input voltage.
