    摘要: A power converter generates direct voltage and includes a phase-shifted PWM bridge with first and second controllable switches connected as a half-bridge with a first tap, for generating AC at the first tap. An output transformer includes a primary winding coupled to the first tap. A full-wave rectifier is connected to a secondary winding of the output transformer. A filter is coupled to the full-wave rectifier for producing filtered output direct voltage. Resonances create surges which may undesirably result in energy loss. A second transformer includes a primary winding coupled to receive the resonant surges and a secondary winding at which transformed surges appear. A second rectifier is coupled to the secondary winding of the second transformer, for rectifying the surges. The energy of the surges is returned or coupled to the source or load. In one embodiment, the full-wave rectifier is a bridge rectifier.

    摘要: Low-power auxiliary circuitry is added to a resonant converter for providing high efficiency operation, low EMI, and tight output voltage control over a wide load range. There is an auxiliary circuit corresponding to each half-bridge connection of main switching devices, each auxiliary circuit including a half-bridge connection of auxiliary switching devices with the junction therebetween coupled to the junction between the main switching devices of the corresponding half-bridge. Under heavy load conditions, sufficient energy is stored in the main resonant inductor to commutate the junctions joining the main switching devices in the resonant converter, resulting in zero-voltage switching for the main switching devices. Under light load conditions, a phase shift is introduced between the corresponding main and auxiliary switching devices, and the auxiliary resonant inductor currents are increased to a level sufficient for the sum of the main resonant inductor current and the corresponding auxiliary resonant inductor current to provide zero-voltage switching for all the bridge switching devices.

    摘要: A phase-shifted PWM dc-to-dc converter includes a pair of switched half-bridges defining taps. The primary of an output transformer is coupled across the taps to receive AC, and produces transformed AC which is rectified and filtered to produce the output dc. Zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) is maintained over the full range from zero load current to maximum load current by the use of an auxiliary circuit including an “inverting” second transformer having primary and secondary windings serially coupled with capacitors. The primary-capacitor serial circuit is connected between a first half-bridge tap and reference potential, and the secondary-capacitor serial circuit is connected by an inductance between second half-bridge tap and a reference potential.

    摘要: A power distribution system including a dual active bridge converter (DABC) distributes a regulated high-frequency, edge-resonant, square wave ac output voltage from an unregulated dc voltage source. The DABC-includes a primary-side half-bridge connection of switching devices and a secondary-side half-bridge connection of switching devices which are coupled by an intermediate high-frequency transformer. An ac distribution bus is connected to the regulated secondary side of the transformer. The primary-side and secondary-side connections of switching devices are phase-shifted in a manner to provide a regulated high-frequency square-wave voltage on the ac distribution bus, which is distributed via a low-impedance distribution bus to a plurality of simple point-of-load converters. Alternatively, a plurality of DABC's is configured in a high-frequency ac power distribution system such that a primary-side half-bridge of switching devices converts an unregulated dc voltage source to an unregulated high-frequency, square wave ac voltage which is distributed to a plurality of point-of-load converters. Each point-of-load converter has a high-frequency transformer and secondary-side switching devices, such that each point-of-load converter forms a DABC pair with the primary-side half-bridge.

    摘要: An external resistance is presented between the gate and cathode of a thermally sensitive thyristor which varies in accordance with a changing voltage applied across the thyristor. The changing voltage sweeps the varying external resistance through its operating range which in turn expands the region of temperature sensitivity with respect to breakover voltage by sweeping the shifting curves of switching temperature vs. gate to cathode resistance for the thyristor. In preferred form, a field effect transistor (FET) (10) is connected between the gate (8) and cathode (4) of the thermally sensitive thyristor (6) and is biased by the same voltage supply applied across the thyristor. The FET presents an external gate to cathode resistance which varies in accordance with the changing bias level on the FET, which is the same changing bias applied across the thyristor. The range of variance of this added external resistance must be between 10,000 ohms and 1 megohm. The breakover voltage of the thyristor can be made to vary slowly with respect to temperature, rather than exhibiting sharp drop in a narrow critical temperature region.
