    摘要: A pulse width modulated power converter is presented with load-adaptive power transistor scaling scheme using analog-digital hybrid control. The coarse digital control generates an approximate duty cycle necessary for driving a given load and selects an appropriate width of power transistors to minimize redundant power dissipation. The fine analog control provides the final tuning of the duty cycle to compensate for the error from the coarse digital control. The mode switching between the analog and digital controls is accomplished by a mode arbiter which estimates the average duty cycle for the given load condition from limit cycle oscillations induced by the coarse adjustments.

    摘要: Methods of operating switching power supplies are disclosed. A power supply has a transformer and a switch coupled to the primary side of the transformer for controlling the current flow through the primary side of the transformer. A method includes determining the output voltage of the power supply. A first minimum switching frequency is generated for driving the switch in response to the output voltage being greater than a nominal output voltage and less than a predetermined voltage. A second minimum switching frequency is generated for driving the switch in response to the output voltage being equal to or greater than the predetermined voltage, wherein the first minimum switching frequency is greater than the second minimum switching frequency.

    摘要: A system for driving a piezoelectric load includes a direct current (DC) voltage source and a bi-directional DC-to-DC converter having a primary side coupled to the DC voltage source and a secondary side and comprising a control input configured to receive a first control signal configured to control conversion of a first voltage on the primary side of the bi-directional DC-to-DC converter to a second voltage on the secondary side of the bi-directional DC-to-DC converter. The driver system also includes a capacitor coupled to the secondary side of the bi-directional DC-to-DC converter and configured to remove a DC offset of the second voltage and includes a reactive load having a first terminal coupled to the capacitor and a second terminal coupled to the secondary side of the bi-directional DC-to-DC converter.
