    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: 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.
