    摘要: A half-bridge zero-voltage-switched multi-resonant converter. The converter basically comprises a device for converting an input voltage signal to a DC output signal to be imposed across a load. The device includes input terminals for receiving the input signal and output terminals for imposing the DC output signal across the load. Serially connected first and second switching assemblies are connected in parallel across the input terminals. Each of the first and second switching assemblies includes a transistor switch, a diode and a capacitor all arranged in parallel. The device further includes a transformer having a primary winding and serially connected first and second secondary windings. A first rectifier in parallel with a first resonant capacitor is used to connect the first secondary winding across the output terminals. Circuitry is provided for connecting the primary winding of the transformer to the input terminals and to the serial connection between the first and second switching assemblies. In order to complete the zero-voltage-switched multi-resonant converter for off-line use, a resonant circuit is formed with the first and second resonant capacitors and the total inductance of the primary winding of the transformer.

    摘要: A single-stage input-current-shaping (S.sup.2 ICS) converter of the present invention integrates a voltage-doubler-rectifier front-end with a DC/DC output stage. Two families of voltage-doubler S.sup.2 ICS converters are disclosed. In one family, a 2-terminal dither source is provided between a boost inductor and a common input terminal of a storage capacitor and the DC/DC output stage. The 2-terminal dither source includes two paths connected in parallel: a first path for charging and a second path for discharging the boost inductor at a high frequency (HF). In the other family, a 3-terminal dither source includes a third terminal coupled to a pulsating node of the DC/DC output stage. In the 3-terminal dither source, the HF charging path of the boost inductor is coupled between the boost inductor and the pulsating node of the DC/DC output stage, while the HF discharging path of the boost inductor is coupled between the boost inductor and the common input terminal of the storage capacitor and the DC/DC output stage. Due to the voltage-doubler-rectifier front-end, reduction of line-current harmonics can be achieved with a higher conversion efficiency, as compared to a corresponding S.sup.2 ICS converter with a conventional full-bridge rectifier. In addition, a converter of the present invention requires storage capacitors of a lower voltage rating and a smaller total capacitance than the conventional S.sup.2 ICS counterpart. The present invention thereby reduces the size and the cost of the power supply.

    摘要: A circuit technique that substantially reduces the boost-converter losses caused by the reverse-recovery characteristics of the rectifier is described. The losses are reduced by inserting an inductor in the series path of the boost switch and the rectifier to control the di/dt rate of the rectifier during its turn-off. The energy from the inductor after the boost switch turn-off is returned to the input or delivered to the output via an active snubber. The same technique can be extended to any member of the PWM-converter family.

    摘要: A power supply comprises an input voltage detector that detects a drop in input voltage that corresponds to an input voltage loss. A power converter is coupled to the input voltage detector. The power converter, which may be a boost converter or a power factor correction converter, has a switching device that is actuated in accordance with a duty cycle. A duty cycle adjuster is responsive to detection of the drop in the input voltage to adjust the duty cycle of the switching device in order to limit an input current surge through the switching device below a desired level after the input voltage returns.

    摘要: Three-level, constant-frequency, soft-switched isolated converters provide zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) conditions for the turn-on of all primary switches over a wide range of input voltage and output load. These converters achieve ZVS with the minimum duty cycle loss and circulating current, which optimizes the conversion efficiency. The ZVS of the primary switches is achieved by the energy stored in an inductor on the primary side of the isolation transformer. The inductor and transformer are arranged so that a change in the phase shift between the outer and inner pair of switches of the series connection of four switches changes the volt-second product on the windings of the transformer and the windings of the inductor in opposite directions. In some embodiments the primary-side inductor is coupled inductor with two windings, whereas in the other embodiments the inductor has only one winding.

    摘要: A new single stage, single switch input current shaping circuit features substantially reduced turn-on switching losses of the switch in the flyback-converter. In this technique, the turn-on switching losses due to the discharge of the output capacitance of the switch are reduced by turning on the switch when its voltage is minimal or close to the minimal. To achieve the turn-on loss reduction for a wide range of line and load conditions, the flyback-converter stage is continuously operated at the boundary of the CCM and DCM by employing a variable-frequency control. In this technique the boost inductor can work either in the DCM or the CCM. The wide-bandwidth, variable-frequency control is implemented by detecting the onset of the DCM/CCM boundary and, subsequently, turning the switch on at the minimum switch voltage. The switch is turned off when the increasing primary current reaches a reference level set by the output-voltage feedback control circuit.
