    摘要: 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)

    摘要: A high current inductor is constructed using two single-sided or double-sided printed circuit boards having patterned copper traces thereon, a magnetic toroidal core, and multiple interconnecting wires extending between the boards. Multiple turns for the inductor are created by suitably configuring the copper traces on the printed circuit boards. Vias are employed on each circuit board for electrically interconnecting the boards to each other. Multiple thick, solid-gauge wires are situated in the vias in order to provide a very large copper area, thus providing high current carrying capability.

    摘要: A dc-to-dc pulse-width-modulated phase-shifted full bridge defines two taps, and the bridge switches are operated to produce alternating voltage between the taps. A switchable inductor is connected between each tap and a reference potential. The inductors are switched into circuit during low-load conditions to provide additional energy storage for zero-volt switching (ZVS) of the bridge switches. The switching of the inductors may be by mechanical, solid-state, optical, or magnetic switches. The magnetic switch may be a transformer winding. The switched inductor may be transformer-coupled.
