Blocking oscillator providing stabilised DC output - has zener diode voltage limiter and feedback circuit

Номер: DE0001940504B2
Автор:
Принадлежит:

An oscillator used as a d.c. transformer providing a stabilised output, with a capacitor (C) acting as a smoothing element, obtains the stabilisation by using a chain of Zener diodes (ZD) in series with resistive elements (R1, R2, R3). The total zener voltage is about 90% of the nominal output voltage of the transformer. A tapping of one of the resistive elements (R2) provides the control input to a Schmitt trigger circuit (T3, T4) which acts on the oscillator control to stabilise the output. In addition the Zener chain will also suppress voltage peaks, for example those originating from the connected load.

In the event of a fault on the load associated with supply D, so as to reduce the voltage at D, the charging time of capacitor C4 is increased so as to reduce or cut off the first D.C. voltage. As described, the supply mains AB are fed to a bridge recitifier D1-D4 which feeds a full wave rectified voltage to the thristor D9. Capacitor C4 is charged via R6 during each half cycle until its voltage reaches that at the junction of R8, R9, when silicon controlled switch D8 breaks down, triggering the thyristor ...

A protection scheme for a switched-mode power converter

Номер: GB2453447A
Принадлежит:

The collector voltage of the main transistor switch 262 in a resonant discontinuous forward convener is monitored. The conduction period of the switch is ended early if the collector voltage exceeds a limit. The controller also uses the sensed collector voltage to control the degree of saturation of the main transistor switch, thereby reducing turn-off time and switching losses. The protection scheme allows the transistor to be protected, and converter output power to be limited, if the saturation control loop fails to restrain a rise in collector voltage despite increased base or gate drive.

A method and apparatus of primary side output voltage sensing for a flyback power converter preserves secondary-side tranformer isolation without the use of opto-isolators and does not require multiple high-speed sample and hold circuits. A timing circuit measures the duration of the diode conduction interval during a first PWM control cycle and applies this measurement to set the voltage sampling time of the feedback loop during the next PWM cycle. The voltage sampling time for the next PWM cycle is configurable and may be set to occur near the middle of the diode conduction interval or near the end of the diode conduction interval. The cycle-to-cycle PWM duty cycle adjustment step size may be limited to ensure that the diode conduction interval does not vary substantially from cycle to cycle.

Switching Power Converter Having Optimal Dynamic Load Response with Ultra-Low No Load Power Consumption

Номер: US20120176820A1
Принадлежит: iWatt Inc

A switch controller is disclosed that adaptively controls the operating frequency of a switching power converter in order to improve one-time load response and repetitive dynamic load responses. During a transition from a high load to low load condition, the switch controller clamps the operating frequency of the switching power converter at an intermediate frequency for a period of time before allowing the operating frequency to return to a frequency associated with the low load condition. The clamped frequency is higher than the frequency associated with the low load condition thereby allowing improved response to a subsequent load change to a high load condition. Thus, the system improves dynamic load response without compromising no-load power consumption.

RESONANT SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY DEVICE

Номер: US20130308347A1
Принадлежит: FUJI ELECTRIC CO., LTD.

A winding voltage arising in a first winding on the primary side of a transformer is detected in a winding voltage detector unit formed of a second winding, and current flowing through a resonant circuit is detected in a resonant current detector unit formed of an auxiliary capacitor and a resistor. The timing at which the polarity of the detected winding voltage is inverted is detected in a control and drive unit, and the time at which the polarity of the resonant current, whose phase is delayed with respect to that of the winding voltage, will be inverted is determined in advance. In the event that there is a switch in an on-state when the timing immediately before the inversion of the polarity of the resonant current is detected from the output of the resonant current detector unit, the control and drive unit forcibly turns off the switch. 1. A resonant switching power supply device , comprising:a first switch and a second switch connected in series to either terminals into which a direct current voltage is input;a series circuit of a resonant capacitor, at least one of a resonant inductor and transformer leakage inductor, and a first winding on a primary side of a transformer, connected to the first switch or the second switch;a resonant current detector unit that detects a resonant current flowing through the series circuit;a winding voltage detector unit that detects a winding voltage, which is a voltage across a first winding of the transformer; anda control and drive unit that drives the first switch and second switch to be turned on and off alternately, whereinthe control and drive unit has a protection function whereby, in the event that, after it is detected that a polarity of the winding voltage detected by the winding voltage detector unit has been inverted, either the first switch or the second switch is not in an off-state when it is detected that the resonant current detected by the resonant current detector unit has exceeded a threshold value with ...
