    摘要: A voltage waveform similar to a waveform of a magnetizing current of an isolation transformer and immune to high frequency oscillatory resonant behavior is developed across a capacitor of a series resistor and capacitor connection connected in parallel with a synchronous rectifier. A simple logic circuit produces a waveform for controlling the synchronous rectifier which is not subject to significant turn on delay or early turn off caused by oscillatory resonances among parasitic inductances and capacitances. Improved timing accuracy of a synchronous converter provides improved power converter accuracy, particularly for flyback converters which are commonly used in converters for supplying power to offline electrical devices but are subject to oscillatory resonant behaviors that cannot be adequately damped at switching frequencies sufficiently high to support miniaturization of adapters.

    摘要: In one example, an omnidirectional wireless power transfer system includes high frequency power generator configured to generate a supply of high frequency oscillating power, a number of transmitter-side resonant tank circuits electrically coupled to the high frequency power generator, a receptacle including a number of coils arranged for omnidirectional power transfer to an electronic device placed in the receptacle, and a controller configured to activate individual ones of the transmitter-side resonant tank circuits to wirelessly transmit power to the electronic device through near-field resonant inductive coupling. In one example, the receptacle can be embodied as a bowl, and the controller can activate individual ones of the transmitter-side resonant tank circuits over time to generate an omnidirectional field distribution for wireless power transmission. In other aspects, various transmitter-side and receiver-side tank circuits for coupling independent resonance and ZVS operation are described.

    摘要: A power converter using constant on-time (COT) or ramp pulse modulation (RPM) control achieves more rapid resumption of steady-state operation after a step-up load transient by extending an on-time of a switching pulse by interrupting a ramp voltage waveform that is compared with a threshold that equals a threshold voltage at the termination of a switching pulse or increasing a voltage with which the ramp voltage is compared. These techniques are applied to both single-phase and multi-phase power converters.

    摘要: By setting switching instants of a switching circuit of a resonant power converter based on current in a resonant circuit reaching a current limit of a current limitation band, soft start-up of the power converter can be achieved to avoid or limit electrical stress with full control over a trade-off between time required to settle to a full load steady-state mode of operation and the amount of electrical stress permitted while soft start up switching frequency is automatically optimized.

    摘要: Pulse width modulation is provided for controlling a resonant power converter, particularly for dimming of light emitting diode arrays without loss of efficiency. Dynamic oscillation due to the beginning of a pulse width modulated pulse burst is limited by shortening of the first and/or last pulse of a pulse bust such that the first pulse of a subsequent pulse burst close to or to connect with a full load steady-state voltage/current trajectory of the power converter. Pulse shortening made be made substantially exact to virtually eliminate dynamic oscillation but substantial reduction in dynamic oscillation is provided if inexact or even performed randomly.

    摘要: In a cascode switching device, avalanche breakdown of a control transistor and loss of soft switching or zero voltage switching in a high voltage normally-on depletion mode transistor having a negative switching threshold voltage and the corresponding losses are avoided by providing additional capacitance in parallel with a parallel connection of drain-source parasitic capacitance of the control transistor and gate-source parasitic capacitance of the high voltage, normally-on transistor to form a capacitive voltage divider with the drain-source parasitic capacitance of the high voltage, normally-on transistor such that the avalanche breakdown voltage of the control transistor cannot be reached. The increased capacitance also assures that the drain source parasitic capacitance of the high voltage, normally-on transistor is fully discharged before internal turn-on can occur.

    摘要: Approximately one-half of the loss of delivered power from a solar panel having photovoltaic (PV) cells connected in series to form sub-panels due to shading is recovered at low hardware cost by connecting sub-panels in series and providing maximum power point tracking control in common for the series connected sub-panels such that the respective sub-panels produce equal voltages even in the presence of shading of a portion of one or more sub-panels. By doing so, the input voltage of respective power converters which control the voltage at which each sub-panel is operated can be placed close to the maximum power point of each sub-panel regardless of shading and maximum total power harvested even though the respective sub-panels are not operated at optimum voltages.

    摘要: An amount of charge transferred by a power converter is estimated by developing a signal that is a combination of signals representing an output voltage of a power converter and an inductor current of the power converter, charging a capacitor with a current proportional to that signal and comparing a voltage developed across the capacitor due to that charging to develop a signal for initiating a pulse to control input of power from a voltage source to the power converter. By using a signal developed in this way, response to both step-up and step-down transients can be improved and, in multi-phase embodiments, ripple cancellation problems such as noise susceptibility and loss of pulse generation can be entirely avoided.
