    摘要: A power conversion apparatus includes a converter circuit and a control unit. The converter circuit includes circuits for the number of phases being more than one, the circuits each including a reactor and a corresponding first or second switching element connected to the reactor. The converter circuit converts an AC voltage output from a commercial power supply into a DC voltage. In a case where a time difference between a timing of turning off the first switching element and a timing of turning on the second switching element is within a threshold, the control unit performs control for advancing or delaying the timing of turning off the first switching element.

    摘要: A multi-mode hybrid control DC-DC converting circuit has a switching power converter and a microcontroller. The switching power converter has a transformer and a switching switch. The switching switch is connected to a primary-side winding of the transformer in series. The microcontroller is connected to the switching power converter and a control terminal of the switching switch. The microcontroller sets multiple thresholds according to an input voltage of the switching power converter, and determines whether a feedback voltage of the switching power converter is higher or lower than each one of the thresholds to perform a variable-frequency mode, a constant-frequency mode, or a pulse-skipping mode. The microcontroller outputs a driving signal to the switching switch and correspondingly adjusts a frequency of the driving signal according to the variable-frequency mode, the constant-frequency mode, or the pulse-skipping mode which is performed.

    摘要: A method for controlling a modular multilevel power converter which has at least one phase module branch with a series circuit of modules. Each of the modules has an energy storage device and a power semiconductor circuit with electronic switching elements. A duty cycle of the phase module branch is ascertained, wherein the duty cycle describes the ratio between the voltage which is being output by the phase module branch and the voltage which can be maximally output by the phase module branch. The maximum value of the duty cycle during a preselected time period is ascertained, and the maximum value of the duty cycle is controlled to a target value for the maximum value of the duty cycle by a controller.

    摘要: This application relates to computing circuitry, and in particular to analogue computing circuitry suitable for neuromorphic computing. An analogue computation unit for processing data is supplied with a first voltage from a voltage regulator which is operable in a sequence of phases to cyclically regulate the first voltage. A controller is configured to control operation of the voltage regulator and/or the analogue computation unit, such that the analogue computation unit processes data during a plurality of compute periods that avoid times at which the voltage regulator undergoes a phase transition which is one of a predefined set of phase transitions between defined phases in said sequence of phases. This avoids performing computation operations during a phase transition of the voltage regulator that could result in a transient or disturbance in the first voltage, which could adversely affect the computing.
