摘要: Aspects of the disclosure provide a voltage converting system. The voltage converting system includes a first power converter configured to convert an input voltage to an intermediate voltage, a second power converter configured to convert the intermediate voltage to an output voltage at a target voltage level, and a control circuit coupled to the first power converter and the second power converter. The control circuit is configured to, upon detection of the input voltage having a voltage level that is within a first range, perform a close-loop control of the second power converter to output the output voltage at the target voltage level.

摘要: AC to DC converters, more specifically Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuits, using a multi-level waveform and hybrid devices are presented. From an AC voltage input a multi-level waveform is generated, which is used to generate high and low DC output voltage levels. The multi-level waveform is connected to the DC outputs through a corresponding intermediate node by an initial switch, and from the intermediate node to the corresponding output by a hybrid device. The hybrid device includes a first current path, such as a series connected switch-diode pair, in parallel with second current path of a relatively faster and lower current device, such as a diode. The resultant arrangement can use devices having lower voltage ratings relative to typical PFC circuit designs.

摘要: A hybid resonant DC to DC converter uses an LLC or other resonant structure on the primary side, applying a two state waveform to one end of the resonant structure and a multi-state waveform to the other end of the resonant structure. The waveforms are at or near the resonant resonant frequency and the output voltage level is regulated by varying the shape of the multi-state waveform by varying the duty cycle of the switches used to generate it. The allows the converter to operate near or at its optimal resonant point, resulting in higher efficiency, over a wide range of regulated output voltage levels.
