A half-bridge inverter is powered from a constant-magnitude DC supply voltage and provides at the inverter's output a first AC output voltage that is describable as a modified squarewave voltage. This first AC voltage is applied across a series-combination of an inductor and a capacitor, the junction between which is clamped to the DC supply voltage. As a result, a second AC voltage gets established across the capacitor; which second AC voltage is also describable as being a modified squarewave voltage. However, the phasing of the second AC voltage is delayed by approximately 90 degrees with respect to the first AC voltage; which results in the voltage across the inductor being of approximately sinusoidal waveform. A fluorescent lamp is connected in series with a ballast capacitor; and the lamp-capacitor series combination is connected across the inductor, thereby resulting in a nearly sinusoidal current being provided to the fluorescent lamp. Lamp starting aid is provided by a voltage-doubling circuit supplying a high-magnitude current-limited DC voltage across the ballast capacitor for ignition purposes.

A non-interfering power supply includes a free-running blocking oscillator power supply subsystem and a circuit arrangement that synchronizes the blocking oscillator power supply subsystem to operate at the horizontal operating frequency of a display subsystem. Synchronizing signals representative of the horizontal operating frequency of the display subsystem are generated and are used to activate the circuit arrangement that causes the blocking oscillator to change its mode of operation from free-running to a fully reset fixed frequency flyback converter. When activated, a switch in the circuit arrangement extends the off-time of a switching transistor in the blocking oscillator power supply control circuit. As a result, the oscillator is forced to run at an operating frequency lower than its free-running frequency.

An AC current detection circuit is intended to detect whether an AC induction current for the rotor of the rotating anode X-ray tube flows or not. A current transformer is employed in the rotor supply circuit to generate a lower voltage at its output circuit by utilizing its magnetic-electric conversion effect. A transistor will switch on-off by receiving the generated voltage and produce a series of output pulse signals. A retriggerable monostable multivibrator will detect a missing pulse from the output pulse signals, which indicates a failure of the rotor supply operation.

An improved high efficiency push-pull inverter circuit employing a pair of switching transistors that are alternately triggered into conduction by a control circuit, for converting DC voltage into high frequency AC voltage. The control circuit includes a pair of saturable transformers that are non-coupled to each other and are each connected to the base of a respective transistor. The bases are isolated from ground potential by a capacitor, and significant reverse voltage signals are developed and alternately applied to the base of a conducting transistor for rapidly turning it off, thereby increasing device switching speed and overall efficiency of the circuit.
摘要:
High efficiency push-pull inverters minimize undesirable energy losses usually resulting from simultaneous conduction and imperfect switching of the transistor switching means. In each of the disclosed circuits, a saturable inductor and a diode are connected in parallel and across the base-emitter junction of each transistor. Voltage on the base of each transistor causes its associated saturable inductor to saturate, and the saturated inductor then terminates the flow of base current and provides a path for rapid evacuation of the charge carriers stored in the transistor base-emitter junction in order to render the transistor rapidly non-conductive. Each diode provides a drain path for current continuing to flow through its associated saturable inductor after junction evacuation. A novel triggering means initiates oscillation of the inverters. Also disclosed are feedback means operable to prevent premature transistor conduction and a capacitor connected between the collectors of the inverter transistors operable to restrain the rate of change of transistor collector voltage, both of these features also serving to minimize energy dissipation.
摘要:
A regulating charging circuit for the pulse-forming network in a line-type pulse modulator, such as commonly found in pulsed radar systems. A charging inductor is the primary of a transformer, the secondary of which is open-circuited until the resonant charge of the pulsed-forming network reaches a predetermined voltage. At that time, a sensor generates a trigger enabling a solid state device, of the thyristor genera, to connect the secondary of the charging inductor/transformer to a step-up network, including a second transformer. The output of the step-up network is fed through a diode into the filter/storage capacitor of the high voltage power supply from which the charging inductor draws current. The unused charging conductor energy is thereby recovered and used to help recharge the filter/storage capacitor. The combination including the step-up network relieves the thyristor and control circuits from the requirement of controlling high voltages.
