Abstract:
The present invention relates to a driving circuit for relay, which uses N relays with their coils coupled to each other. One of the relays is coupled to a driving power supply. A switching control circuit is coupled to a second relay and a reference voltage for controlling on/off of the plurality of relays. A driving control circuit is coupled to the plurality of relays for controlling excitation of the plurality of relays. After the coils of the relays are excited by the driving control circuit, the voltage of a single coil is dropped to one Nth of the driving voltage. Thereby, the power consumption of the coils of the relays can be reduced, and hence enhancing the lifetime and reliability of the relays.
Abstract:
In an interleaved bridgeless power factor corrector and a controlling method thereof, the interleaved bridgeless power factor corrector includes an AC input power supply, two input inductors, four active components, two passive components, an output capacitor, and an output resistor, wherein the four active components are cascaded in a full bridge form to act as control switches and rectifying switches having different phases; besides, the interleaved bridgeless power factor corrector is connected to a control signal processor and a control circuit, which can output complementary switch signals to control the interleaved bridgeless power factor corrector, thereby achieving output/input ripple cancellation and frequency multiplication.
