  • Patent number: 6373232
    Abstract: This invention provides a power supply device which widens a narrow output control width which is a drawback of a conventional voltage resonant power supply, and in adopting as a switching control element a low-cost IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) which permits a large current, optimizes a gate signal waveform to minimize a switching loss in control because the IGBT has a larger loss than an FET. A voltage resonant converter includes a switching IGBT (201) connected to a power supply, a first resonant capacitor (204) series-connected to the IGBT (201), an IGBT (202) series-connected to the first resonant capacitor (204), an exciting coil (18) connected between the power supply and a node between the first resonant capacitor (204) and the IGBT (202), a second resonant capacitor (205) parallel-connected to the IGBT (202), and regenerative diodes (206, 207) respectively parallel-connected to the IGBTs (201, 202).

  • Patent number: 6229721
    Abstract: A load current flowing in a charger in a printer of electrophotographic system is detected through resistors, a masking process is performed to a differentiated part of a waveform of the load current, and then the obtained current is compared with a reference value. If the load current is norma, the masking process is performed to a peak portion of the differential waveform. However, if the load current is abnormal because of abnormal discharge or the like, the masking process is not performed to the peak portion of the differential waveform. Thus, in the latter case, since the load current is larger than the reference value, driving of the charger is temporarily stopped.
