20110176333 | Power Converter with Isolated and Regulation Stages - In a power converter, the duty cycle of a primary winding circuit causes near continuous flow of power through the primary and secondary winding circuits during normal operation. By providing no regulation during normal operation, a very efficient circuit is obtained with a synchronous rectifier in the secondary operating at all times. However, during certain conditions such as start up or a short-circuit, the duty cycle of the primary may be reduced to cause freewheeling periods. A normally non-regulating isolation stage may be followed by plural non-isolating regulation stages. To simplify the gate drive, the synchronous rectifiers may be allowed to turn off for a portion of the cycle when the duty cycle is reduced. A filter inductance of the secondary winding circuit is sufficient to minimize ripple during normal operation, but allows large ripple when the duty cycle is reduced. By accepting large ripple during other than normal operation, a smaller filter inductance can be used. | 2011-07-21 |
20110176334 | CARRIER WAVE AMPLITUDE CONTROL IN POWER SOURCE FOR STABILIZING DC VOLTAGE BY UTILIZING FREQUENCY DEPENDENCE OF RESONANCE - In the power supply composed of a driver circuit generating the carrier, a resonance circuit driven by the carrier and a rectification circuit generating the dc. voltage by rectifying the amplitude-modulated carrier supplied by the resonance circuit and stabilizing the output voltage by the feeding back the voltage error between the output voltage and a reference voltage externally supplied to set up the output voltage, to the frequency and the amplitude of the carrier, the frequency response of the dc. power supply is improved both by providing the pole located at the origin with a transfer function where the dc. voltage, generated by rectifying and smoothing the output of the resonance circuit, is fed back to the frequency of the carrier and by not providing the pole at the origin with a transfer function where the dc. voltage is fed back to the amplitude of the carrier. | 2011-07-21 |
