摘要： A low cost method for operating a high intensity discharge (HID) lamp including a ballast circuit. The method includes generating DC in an AC-to-DC converter, capturing any AC ripple of the DC with a buffer capacitor to generate a control signal, generating a high frequency lamp power signal from DC utilizing an HF inverter circuit and modulating the high frequency power signal utilizing the control signal to generate a frequency swept lamp power signal to drive the lamp while avoiding acoustic resonance.

摘要： A switching power supply is provided in two stages with the primary of the power transformer being in the first stage and the secondary in the second stage. The first stage includes an EMI filter connected to the input of a rectifier. The output of the rectifier is connected to a self oscillating, half-bridge, resonant inverter operating in open loop with the primary of the transformer to provide isolation from the power source. Feed-forward control is used to compensate for line variations, providing very small output voltage variation compared with input voltage variation. In the second stage, the secondary of the transformer provides an input to post regulator circuitry including a PWM control circuit to regulate the output current using the error signal representing the differences between the current sensed and the desired value.

摘要： A push-pull high voltage oscillator power supply circuit includes a parallel resonant LC circuit made up of a capacitor in parallel with the primary of an output transformer. The output power level of the oscillator is controlled or adjusted by gating a drive circuit of the oscillator in accordance with an appropriate timing scheme so as to control the power delivered to the load over a long time period. The drive circuit is switched on and off so as to control the transformer primary voltage by omitting a number of drive pulses, determined by the desired output pulse level, so that the oscillator self-oscillates and rings out with a decreasing amplitude of the self-oscillations, but never reaches a complete cut-off of the oscillations before the drive circuit is gated on to refresh the supply of energy to the oscillator. A circuit for monitoring the collector voltages of the switching transistors of the oscillator may be provided to inhibit the supply of drive pulses to the switching transistors when the collector voltages exceed a given voltage level. This limits the power dissipation in the switching transistors.

摘要： Batteries in portable electrical or electronic devices are charged, through by a wireless battery charger, having an intermediate electrical energy storage device that is charged from a non-power line connected source, and discharged to recharge the battery of a portable device placed into a charge port of the wireless battery charger. The non-power line connected source may be a solar cell for converting light impinging on the solar cell into electrical energy. The non-power line connected source may also be a fuel cell for converting a fuel into electrical energy. The wireless battery charger may also include multiple sources, such as both a solar and a fuel cell. Charging the intermediate electrical energy storage device from the non-power line connected source may take place over an extended period of time having a duration longer than the time required to charge the battery of the portable device. The wireless battery charger and portable device may include transformer elements that allow the battery of the portable device to be re-charged by magnetic induction, without the need for electrical contacts in either the charger port or on the portable device.

摘要： An autonomous solid state lighting system has a charge mode which collects energy and produces electric power with a solid state energy source, converts the voltage of the electric power using a bi-directional power converter, and stores the power in an energy storage device. A discharge mode draws electric power from the energy storage device, converts the voltage of the electric power using the bi-directional power converter, and produces light from a solid state light source. A controller controls the charge and discharge modes. In one embodiment, the solid state energy source can be a solar cell panel, the solid state light source can be an LED module, and the energy storage device can be a battery pack.
