    摘要: An inverter control apparatus includes: a voltage command generating unit that generates a voltage command corresponding to each phase of AC power; a phase difference calculation unit that calculates a voltage difference between the phases of the voltage command; a required phase difference calculation unit that calculates a required phase difference representing a difference of voltages between the phases of the voltage command required to prevent semiconductor switching devices from turning on simultaneously in two phases; a voltage command correction unit that compares the calculated voltage difference and the calculated required phase difference calculated, and corrects the voltage command based on the comparison result; a carrier wave generating unit that generates a carrier wave; and a PWM signal generating unit that compares the voltage command that has been corrected by the voltage command correction unit with the carrier wave.

    摘要: A direct current converter includes a full-bridge inverter, a control module, a transformer, a resonant circuit, and a rectifier module. The full-bridge inverter includes a first switching device, a second switching device, a third switching device, and a fourth switching device. The control module adjusts a duty cycle of the first switching device, the second switching device, the third switching device, or the fourth switching device to a first duty cycle. The control module further controls a working frequency of the direct current converter to be a first working frequency, where an absolute value of a difference between the first working frequency and a resonant frequency of the resonant circuit is less than or equal to a threshold.

    摘要: A floating-rail voltage generator and method are provided for use in a switched regulator. Generally, the generator includes a floating-rail reference generator, a current-sinking buffer and a current-sink. The reference generator is operable to generate a reference voltage (VSSHV_REF) equal to an input voltage (VBAT) minus 1.8 V for VBAT between 1.8V and 4.8V, and equal to 0V for VBAT less than 1.8V. The buffer is coupled between VBAT and ground, and operable to receive the VSSHV_REF and generate a continuous floating-rail voltage (VSSHV) on a floating-rail for VBAT between 1.6V and 4.8V. The current-sink is operable to receive VSSHV_REF and VSSHV, and to turn on a current sinking switch coupled between the floating-rail and ground by setting a set-reset latch having a latch output coupled to a gate of the current sinking switch when a transient load current signal is received from a load coupled to the floating-rail.

    摘要: A power converter is provided. The power converter includes first to fourth switches electrically connected in series, a flying capacitor and a controller. Positive and negative terminals of the flying capacitor are electrically connected to the second and third switches respectively. The controller operates the first and fourth switches to perform a first complementary switching with a first dead time, and operates the second and third switches to perform a second complementary switching with a second dead time. The controller determines to regulate the first or second dead time by detecting a capacitor voltage of the flying capacitor, such that the capacitor voltage of the flying capacitor is maintained within a balance voltage range.

    摘要: A common-mode current sensor system and method for a traction inverter of an electric hybrid vehicle. The system and method detects/reduces excess common-mode currents that can be caused by the presence of alternating current (AC)-chassis type short circuit faults at the outputs of an inverter used for driving a two or more-phased load. In an embodiment, the system detects the presence of an AC-chassis fault of any varying strength, e.g., weak, medium, hard, in respective parallel paths. The system and method can isolate a particular AC-chassis type fault to a particular phase leg of the inverter thereby obviating a need of having to shut-down and/or re-program each phase leg of the whole power supply and vehicle operation. Rather, upon detecting a chassis short, a fault signal is asserted to control shutting down of one or more inverter switches without having to shut-down the vehicle or negatively impact the vehicle status.

    摘要: A control circuit is applied to a system provided with a rotary electric machine, a power converter electrically connected to a winding of the rotary electric machine, a power source, a cutoff switch provided on an electrical path that connects the power source and the power converter, and a storage unit. The control circuit is provided with a failure determination unit that determines whether a failure occurs in the system and a regeneration prevention unit that prevents a power regeneration, where a current flows from a rotary electric machine side towards a storage unit side, from occurring. In the case where the failure determination unit determines that a failure occurs in the system, the cutoff switch is turned OFF after the regeneration prevention unit prevents an occurrence of the power regeneration.
