An isolated boost converter includes first and second switches that are switched simultaneously, a transformer and an energy storage capacitor on the primary side of the transformer for storing energy received from input power source. In one embodiment, when the first and second switches are closed, the energy in the capacitor is transferred to the output load while a boost inductor is charged, and when the first and second switches are open, the boost inductor provides energy from the input voltage source to supply the load and to charge the capacitor, In one embodiment, a third switch is provided to relieve the voltage stress on the secondary side.

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.

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.

Fore example the first or second output capacitors can be serially coupled to each other. At least one or both of the first or second converters comprise buck or buck-boost converters, including inverting or non-inverter buck converters. The first and second converters can also form a bi-directional ac-ac inverter.

The stored energy in the energy-storage capacitors of a power supply during the hold-up time is improved by providing two groups of energy storage capacitors, and by connecting one group of capacitors to the input of a hold-up-time extension circuit that has its output connected to the other group of energy-storage capacitors. Each group of energy-storage capacitors may consist of a single capacitor, or a number of capacitors connected in parallel. The hold-up-time extension circuit is designed so that its output is regulated at a voltage that is lower than the minimum regulation voltage of the output-stage dc/dc converter. As a result, the hold-up-time extension circuit is inactive during the normal operation mode. i.e., when the input voltage is present. In fact, during the normal operation mode both groups of capacitors are effectively connected in parallel so that their voltages are equal.

A family of soft-switched, full-bridge pulse-width-modulated (FB PWM) converters provides zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) conditions for the turn-on of the bridge switches over a wide range of input voltage and output load. The FB PWM converters of this family 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 employing two magnetic components whose volt-second products change in the opposite directions with a change in phase shift between the two bridge legs. One magnetic component always operates as a transformer, where the other magnetic component can either be a coupled inductor, or uncoupled (single-winding) inductor. The transformer is used to provide isolated output(s), whereas the inductor is used to store the energy for ZVS.

A three-phase discontinuous-conduction-mode (DCM), pulse-width-modulated (PWM) boost rectifier using harmonic-injection control is provided with a feedforward path to vary the duty cycle of the PWM modulator according to the input voltage, so as to provide improved transient response. In one embodiment, the feedforward path provides to the PWM modulator a ramp voltage that has a slope proportional to the magnitude of the input line voltage. In one embodiment, the harmonic injection signal is summed with the error signal of an output feedback loop. In another embodiment, the harmonic injection signal is integrated and summed with the ramp voltage of the feedforward path. Moreover, by adding a nonlinear gain control circuit, the DC gain of the DCM boost rectifier at light load is adaptively reduced to achieve stability of the rectifier at light load.
