A power converter comprising an inductor for receiving energy from a power supply, and connected to the inductor an output capacitor for providing an output voltage. In order to ensure a quick compensation of a reduction of load at the voltage output using few output capacitors, an additional current path is arranged in parallel either to the inductor or to the capacitor, which additional current path can be opened and closed. A current flowing through the additional current path reaches basically immediately a desired value, when the additional current path is opened. Feedback means are moreover provided for opening the additional current path, when the output voltage reaches a predetermined maximum value.

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.

The invention relates to a power converter comprising an inductor 6 for receiving energy from a power supply 1, and connected to the inductor 6 an output capacitor 7 for providing an output voltage. In order to ensure a quick compensation of a reduction of load at the voltage output using few output capacitors, it is proposed that an additional current path 11,12 is arranged in parallel either to the inductor 6 or to the capacitor 7, which additional current path 11,12 can be opened and closed. A current flowing through the additional current path 11,12 reaches basically immediately a desired value, when the additional current path 11,12 is opened. Feedback means are moreover provided for opening the additional current path 11,12, when the output voltage reaches a predetermined maximum value. The invention relates equally to a corresponding method.

Converters (1) for supplying pulsed power to light sources (8) comprise switching parts (2) and controlling parts (3) for adapting switching parameters of the switching parts (2) for improving a performance. The switching part (2) may comprise first/second switches (41, 42) that are in first/second modes during a first time interval of a cycle and vice versa during a second time intervals of a cycle. A group of cycles results in a pulse of the pulsed power. A switching parameter such as the first time interval of a first cycle may be shortened to reduce overshoot. A switching parameter such as the second time interval of the first cycle may be shortened or lengthened. A switching parameter such as the second time interval of a last cycle may be lengthened or shortened to reduce overshoot. A third switch (93) for switching the light source (8) is activated and de-activated delayedly to improve transient behavior.

A switching circuit arrangement includes a field effect transistor and circuitry for biasing the gate voltage of the field effect transistor, e.g., forcing the gate voltage of the field effect transistor under a certain threshold. Reverse recovery and gate bounce are simultaneously mitigated. The biasing circuitry includes a biasing diode connected in series to the gate of the field effect transistor to bias the gate voltage of the field effect transistor. A clamping field effect transistor unit is connected between the gate of the field effect transistor and the source of the field effect transistor to force the gate voltage of the field effect transistor under a certain threshold.
