    摘要: A resonant converter includes a high-side switch and a low-side switch, both coupled to a common node and driven by a complementary input signal. The common node drives a coupled inductor, the coupled inductor connected in parallel with a variable impedance. The coupled inductor may be coupled in series with a capacitor and a transformer. The variable impedance may be adjusted to modify the resonant frequency of the resonant converter.

    摘要: A quasi-resonant auto-tuning controller includes a zero-voltage crossing detection circuit and a valley tuning finite-state machine having a look-up table. The zero-voltage crossing detection circuit receives a reference voltage and receives an auxiliary signal from an auxiliary winding. The zero-voltage crossing detection circuit produces a comparison signal having pulses when the auxiliary signal is less than the reference voltage. The valley tuning finite-state machine produces a divided pulse width based on the comparison signal, stores the divided pulse width of each pulse in the look-up table, determines, from the comparison signal, that the auxiliary signal is less than the reference voltage, waits a time period corresponding to the divided pulse width stored in the look-up table if the auxiliary signal is less than the reference voltage, and produces a valley point signal after waiting the time period.

    摘要: An inverter. The inverter includes a first and second transistors, which are a high-side transistor and a low-side transistor of the inverter, and control electronics configured to trigger a first switching operation, in which the first transistor is switched on, wherein the second transistor is in a switched-off state, wherein a parasitic capacitance of the first transistor is discharged during the first switching operation, to trigger a second switching operation, in which the first transistor is switched off or switched on again, wherein the second transistor simultaneously remains in the switched-off state, wherein the parasitic capacitance of the first transistor is already discharged in the second switching operation, to record a time difference which describes a difference between a duration of the first switching operation and a duration of the second switching operation, and to determine a characteristic operating parameter of the first transistor based on the time difference.

    摘要: A power conversion system in which a converter and an inverter are coupled to each other via a DC coupling unit that has an inductance component is provided. A switching frequency of each of the converter and the inverter is set to be the same and the switching frequency is set to be higher than a resonance frequency of a resonance circuit that includes a first capacitor, a second capacitor, and the DC coupling unit such as a cable. A switching operation of at least one of the converter or the inverter is controlled such that phases of predetermined components of voltage ripples, at the first capacitor and the second capacitor, that are respectively generated by switching operations of the converter and the inverter are substantially matched.
