    摘要: Resonant gate driver circuits provide for efficient switching of, for example, a MOSFET. However, often an operation of the resonant gate driver circuit does not allow for an application where high switching frequencies are required. According to the present invention, a pre-charging of the inductor of the resonant gate driver circuit is performed. This allows for a highly efficient and fast operation of the MOSFETs.

    摘要: A control unit (2) of a remote control receiver sets the forward or reverse direction operating mode of the photodiode (1) as a function of the useful signal level of its output signal, and to be precise, during standby, the photovoltaic operating mode (forward mode), since in this mode no external bias current is required. If the useful signal level of the photodiode (1) exceeds a predefined threshold, the reverse mode is set, and this brings with it a higher sensitivity. A series circuit (A) of a number of identical photodiodes DA1 DAn the forward mode allows the realization of a controlled current source (6) having a transistor (T), since the permissible diode voltage (Ud) of the overall arrangement may have n times the value of the operating voltage of an individual photodiode. Thus at the same time the voltage across the individual diodes can be set to a very low value and a favorable operating range for the current source can be set. The possible sensitivity of the receiver module having diodes in this operating mode can thereby be considerably increased.

    摘要: In known converter circuits switching losses occur, which are caused by reverse-recovery currents of a freewheeling diode. To reduce said switching losses it is proposed by the invention to drive the switching elements such that, upon switching from the second to the first switching element, the timing is controlled in such a manner that the shoot through currents and the conduction of the freewheeling diode are kept at a low value or, better still, are precluded. As regards the control mechanism, it is proposed to turn on the first switching element later if shoot through currents occur, and to turn on the first switching element sooner if conduction of the freewheeling diode occurs. Here, a time of overlap may be provided during which both switching elements are simultaneously conducting. For the control mechanism, the voltage across a switching element can be used as a measured input value.

    摘要: Recently, the use of class-D audio amplifiers has become more and more widespread. In contrast to the generally employed class-AB linear amplification technology, class-D allows for improved efficiency. However, the class-D principle is known for its poor distortion characteristics. According to the present invention a digital amplifier (18) is provided for converting an audio signal to a power output, comprising a ripple suppression circuit (16) for suppressing voltage ripples in a supply voltage supplied to the bridge circuit with (6) at least one pair of switches. The ripple suppression circuit (16) suppresses ripples in the supply voltage supplied to a switch in the bridge circuit (6), which has been found to cause a major part of the distortions in the output signal of the digital amplifier (18).

    摘要: In a switching DC converter with a resonant circuit output stage, the energy remaining in the resonant circuit for switching the switches of the converter in an inductive mode of operation is used to control the phase of switching. The turn-on phase of each switch is controlled to assure zero voltage switching, and the turn-off phase of each switch is controlled to assure that the resonant circuit has sufficient energy to provide this zero voltage switching.

    摘要: The invention relates to a converter comprising switching elements for chopping a direct voltage, in which turn-on phases of the switching elements alternate with one another, and comprising a circuit arrangement with resonant circuit elements processing the chopped direct voltage and serving for the supply of an output voltage. To improve such a converter in such a way that zero voltage switching (ZVS) can be ensured in an extended range of converter operations with possibly inexpensive converter modifications, it is proposed that the length of the dead-time phases, which are present between two consecutive turn-on phases and during which the switching elements are turned off, is automatically adapted so that switching losses, which occur particularly when the switching elements are turned on, can be minimized.

    摘要: In the case of known switched-mode power supplies with integrated preconditioner, the control curves are largely congruent, but deviate from one another in low-load operation, whereby the unregulated intermediate circuit voltage increases. To improve efficiency in low-load operation, closed-loop control of the burst cycle is effected on the primary side of the voltage transformer. The intermediate circuit voltage is limited to a permissible limit value. The closed-loop control device in the switching stage taps the intermediate circuit voltage at a voltage divider which is arranged between the preconditioner functional unit and the switching stage. An assembly additionally monitors the output voltage, for example by means of an optocoupler. Burst mode comprises one or more burst cycles. A burst cycle is started when the intermediate circuit voltage reaches its limit value. At this time, the voltage transformer is switched off. A burst cycle ends when the output voltage reaches a minimum value. At this time at the latest, the voltage transformer is switched on again. Burst mode is terminated again either when the switched-mode power supply is again operated under normal load or when a maximum time has elapsed, measured from the start of burst mode.

    摘要: Since parallel MOSFETs are usually driven with one gate signal in power applications, the current sharing between the MOSFETs is automatically established with regard to the characteristics of the individual MOSFETs. This may lead to a large non-uniformity of the current distribution between the MOSFETs. According to the present invention, an individual control of the on-resistances of the MOSFETs is provided, which allows for an improved current sharing between paralleled MOSFETs.
