    摘要: A semiconductor switch circuit is connected to a primary winding of a transformer having a secondary winding connected to a load. The semiconductor switch circuit has switches controlled by PWM to provide a controlled constant current. In the inventive inverter, constant current control is performed by PWM operation of the switches of the semiconductor switch circuit. The inverter cuts off electricity to the control circuit when putting the control circuit into a standby state if a run-stop signal gains a logical stop-state. At the same time as the run-stop signal gaining the stop-state, switch drive signals enabling the switches of the semiconductor switch circuit are turned off. Thus, over-current can be prevented from flowing in the load when the control circuit is put into the standby state.

    摘要: A voltage signal rectifier produces a rectified voltage signal from an input offset voltage signal. The voltage signal rectifier includes input offset, output, and reference nodes, two actively controlled current regulation elements (ACCREs), and two controllers. The input offset node is coupled to the input offset voltage signal. The rectified voltage signal is generated onto the output node. The reference node is coupled to a reference voltage for the input offset and rectified voltage signals. The ACCREs are coupled to the input offset node and one of the ACCREs is coupled to the output node. Each controller is configured to control the one of the ACCREs so that the ACCRE coupled to the output node allows current flow through it when the input offset voltage signal is higher than the rectified voltage signal and the other ACCRE is configured to allows current flow through it when the input offset voltage signal is lower than the rectified voltage signal.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are various embodiments of power conversion systems and methods employing synchronous multi-phase AC-to-DC conversion. In one embodiment, a power converter comprises a transistor bridge and a switching controller that operates the transistor bridge in response to AC voltage threshold crossings. The switching controller may include a period counter to measure times between threshold crossings, and a delay counter to trigger a delayed state transition for the transistor bridge. One disclosed method embodiment comprises: receiving multiple phased alternating voltages; comparing each phased alternating voltage to a threshold; determining a period associated with voltage threshold crossings; triggering state transitions at some fraction of the period after each threshold crossing; and placing a transistor bridge into a configuration associated with a current state. For each state, the transistor bridge configuration is designed to couple phased alternating voltages to two output terminals in a sequence that produces a non-alternating voltage difference.

    摘要: A method and apparatus to implement parallel current mode control that is suitable for digital and analog implementation. A duty cycle algorithm is composed of a voltage term and a parallel current term which depends on the inductor current change between the inductor current value at the beginning of a switching cycle and the reference inductor current value at the end of that switching cycle. Parallel current mode control can be applied to all DC-DC converters, including both non-isolated and isolated topologies. It can also be applied to AC-DC converters with power factor correction.

    摘要: An electrical adapter is disclosed that includes a power supply circuit, a sensing circuit and one or more universal DC output connectors. The electrical adapter is configured to convert AC input power at a nominal 120 volts AC to one or more DC output voltages which has the ability to provide different nominal DC voltages to each universal DC output connector depending on the portable DC device connected thereto. The electrical adapter includes a device sensing circuit that automatically senses when a portable DC device is connected to or disconnected from any of the universal DC output connectors. The electrical adapter also includes a voltage and current sensing circuit that monitors the voltage and current applied to the portable DC device connected to the universal DC connector that is used to provide closed loop feedback to the power supply circuit in order to adjust the voltage applied to the universal DC output connector as a function of the voltage and current requirements of the portable DC device connected thereto. As such, each universal DC output connector can be used for portable DC devices having different nominal DC requirements. For example, an electrical adapter with four universal DC output connectors can be used to power four cell phones with nominal 5 volt DC requirements. The same universal DC connectors can alternatively be used to charge four laptop computers with a nominal 15 volt DC requirement or any combination thereof with no changes of the circuitry required. The electrical adapter in accordance with the present invention provides significantly more flexibility than known electrical adapters in which each connector has a dedicated output voltage.
