The present invention uses a microcomputer to control a direct power conversion device without using a logical IC. When interrupt processing based on one interrupt command (R1[k]) begins, the present invention cancels an interrupt command (R2) that was generated concurrently with the one interrupt command (R1[k]). Then the present invention writes second data (Data2[k]) into a buffer register (BuffReg). This is done after the transfer of first data (Data1[k]) from the buffer register (BuffReg) to a compare register (CompReg), which is done at the same timing as the generation of the one interrupt command (R1[k]). By staggering the timing at which first data (Data1[k+1]) and second data (Data2[k+1]) are written into the buffer register (BuffReg), the present invention can stagger the timing at which said data are transferred from the buffer register (BuffReg) to the compare register (CompReg).

A control circuit synchronizes an ac power inverter to the mains voltage of an electrical grid by matching the fundamental phasor components of the inverter~s output voltage to the fundamental phasor components of the mains voltage. Once such matching meets an acceptable voltage error threshold, the control circuit initiates contactor closure, verifies contactor closure, and then initiates a changeover from voltage-mode control used in synchronization operations to a current-mode control of the inverter~s output. The control circuit provides corresponding disconnection control when disconnection from the grid is desired, wherein the regulated power of the inverter is ramped down in controlled fashion until it reaches a lower threshold whereupon contactor opening is initiated. Once contactor opening is verified, regulation control reverts to stand-alone voltage mode control or to shut down, as needed or desired.

With this method for the low-noise operation of a machine driven by a pulse inverter, the amplitudes and frequencies of the harmonics of the inverter output voltages let themselves be computed. Through targeted setting of the modulation parameters, the frequency spectrum or the noise spectrum can be fanned out and harmonics, which would excite stator resonances, can be eliminated. Due to the independence of the modulation parameters of the modulation index (a0) and the fundamental oscillation frequency (f1), the fanning-out and the elimination has no influence on the fundamental oscillation (uGS) or the operating point of the machine. The control of the inverter takes place through sinusoidal pulse width modulation (PWM) and sinusoidal modulation (PFM) of the triangular carrier signal (uH). By this method, the main groups of the harmonics with two ordinate numbers (n, v) are fanned out into subgroups with three ordinate numbers (n, m, v).

A digitally compensated hysteretic power supply with enhanced resolution is provided. Such a power supply includes a comparator that is used to compare a load current sense signal with an internal signal generated from a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). A compensation circuit at a DAC input operates to improve current accuracy beyond the given DAC resolution. The current sense signal is converted to its digital equivalent, which is fed to a proportional-integral (PI) compensation loop, which in turn generates a relatively precise high resolution DAC input value. The DAC uses the higher part of the DAC value. The lower part of the DAC value is treated as a duty cycle number, and the DAC output is toggled between two levels at this duty cycle. This toggling generates a current output signal having a value that is the average of the two toggled values.
