摘要:
A phase-shifted PWM dc-to-dc converter includes a pair of switched half-bridges defining taps. The primary of an output transformer is coupled across the taps to receive AC, and produces transformed AC which is rectified and filtered to produce the output dc. Zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) is maintained over the full range from zero load current to maximum load current by the use of an auxiliary circuit including an “inverting” second transformer having primary and secondary windings serially coupled with capacitors. The primary-capacitor serial circuit is connected between a first half-bridge tap and reference potential, and the secondary-capacitor serial circuit is connected by an inductance between second half-bridge tap and a reference potential.

A low-ripple power supply includes a storage capacitor coupled across load terminals, and an inductor connected to a source of voltage including a varying or pulsatory component and a direct component, for causing a flow of current to said capacitor through the inductor. The varying component of the inductor current flowing in the capacitor results in ripple across the load. A winding is coupled to the inductor for generating a surrogate of the varying inductor current. The surrogate current is added to the inductor current to cancel or reduce the magnitude of the varying current component. This cancellation effectively reduces the varying current component flowing in the storage capacitor, which in turn reduces the ripple appearing across the load terminals.(121)

A partial-voltage buck regulator controls a high-voltage bus to a full-bridge circuit such that overall switching losses are reduced and distributed. Low-voltage buck regulator devices are PWM-switched when high output voltage is needed, and high-voltage bridge devices are PWM-switched when low output voltage is needed. A variable input power supply, which may be operated in a high power factor mode, can adjust the input bus voltages to achieve optimum performance for a given magnetic resonance imaging sequence.
