    摘要: In one embodiment, a switching frequency adjusting circuit includes an inverter circuit, a phase difference determining circuit, an average determination circuit, and a loop compensator. The inverter circuit includes an inverter switch configured to switch on and off at a switching frequency. The phase difference determination circuit is configured to obtain a first signal related to an output voltage of the inverter circuit and a second signal related to an output current of the inverter circuit. The average determination circuit is configured to determine a first average value of a first output signal and a second average value of a second output signal, and the loop compensator is configured to compare the first average value or the second average value with a reference value and adjust the switching frequency of the inverter switch based on the comparison result.

    摘要: A circuit includes a switching signal generator and synchronization circuitry configured to determine a first time of a switching period based on a switching signal. The circuit further includes a comparison signal generator configured to generate a comparison signal with a first constant rate of change after the first time. The synchronization circuitry is further configured to determine a second time of the switching period based on when current at the inductive element changes from a positive current to a negative current. The comparison signal generator is further configured to generate the comparison signal with a second constant rate of change after the second time. The circuit further includes a threshold detector configured to compare a value of the comparison signal at the end of a target switching period with a threshold value.

    摘要: An electronic circuit unit includes a trigger circuit and a circuit module. The trigger circuit includes a semiconductor switching element configured to output a switching pulse signal in response to an external trigger signal, a load resistor for the semiconductor switching element, a one-shot pulse circuit configured to convert the switching pulse signal into a one-shot pulse with a predetermined pulse width, and a forcible-reset circuit connected to an input side of the semiconductor switching element. The one-shot pulse circuit includes a coupling capacitor connected to an input side of the semiconductor switching element and a charging resistor for the coupling capacitor. The pulse width of the one-shot pulse is determined by a time constant of the coupling capacitor and the charging resistor. The forcible-reset circuit is configured to temporarily input an on-voltage to the semiconductor switching element so as to forcibly switch the circuit module to the operating mode.

    摘要: A multi-phase power converter includes a digital ramp pulse modulation controller, a digital constant on-time controller, and a driver stage. The digital ramp pulse modulation controller provides a trigger ramp signal in response to an error signal when the multi-phase power converter is not in a green mode, wherein at least a portion of the digital ramp pulse modulation controller is inactive in the green mode. The digital constant on-time controller provides on-time thresholds and off-time thresholds when the multi-phase power converter is in the green mode. The driver stage provides a plurality of drive signals to a corresponding plurality of power stages in response to the trigger ramp signal when the multi-phase power converter is not in the green mode and to the on-time thresholds and the off-time thresholds when the multi-phase power converter is in the green mode.

    摘要: A power conversion device includes: a first control unit and a second control unit that output a first control signal and a second control signal, respectively; a gate circuit that causes a control signal selected from the first control signal and the second control signal to pass through the gate circuit; and a drive circuit that drives a main circuit based on the control signal that passes through the gate circuit. When the second control signal is selected in the state where the first control signal passes through the gate circuit, the gate circuit interrupts the first control signal and causes the second control signal to pass through the gate circuit as an absolute value of an instantaneous value of an AC current decreases below a threshold current.
