  • Publication number: 20110291573
    Abstract: A resonant power supply for light-emitting devices comprises an inverter including two DC input terminals and two AC output terminals, a resonant circuit connected in series to at least one of the two AC output terminals, and an LED circuit connected in series to the resonant circuit. The inverter is configured to convert a direct current from the two DC input terminals into an alternating current through the two AC output terminals, and the LED circuit emits lights as the alternating current is applied.

  • Publication number: 20110056533
    Abstract: A series solar system with current-matching function includes a plurality of solar modules. The plurality of the solar modules is electrically connected in series. Each solar module includes a DC/DC converter and a solar panel electrically connected in parallel. The photocurrent generated by the solar panel is matched with the current generated by the solar panel operating at the optimum operating point by means of adjusting the duty cycle of the DC/DC converter, so that the solar panel can generate maximum output power. Therefore, in the series solar system, even a solar module is covered, causing the received light intensity of the solar module is reduced, and the series solar system still can generate maximum output power.

  • Publication number: 20080130326
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a zero voltage switch (ZVS) method for the synchronous rectifiers and inverter. The ZVS method for synchronous rectifier, in which the rectifier diode is replaced by a bi-directional-current one directional-voltage blocking capability switch, by allowing and terminating current flow in a reverse direction, zero voltage turn-on is achieved on both inverter and rectifier switches.

  • Publication number: 20070109822
    Abstract: The zero voltage switch (ZVS) method for the synchronous rectifiers and inverter. The ZVS method for synchronous rectifier, in which the rectifier diode is replaced by a bi-directional-current one directional-voltage blocking capability switch, by allowing and terminating current flow in a reverse direction, achieves zero voltage turn-on on both inverter and rectifier switches. The ZVS method of the present invention includes: increasing an inductor current to a current upper limit with a first switch module active; decreasing the inductor current with the first switch module open and a second switch module passive; decreasing the inductor current with a second switch module active; turning the second switch module open when the inductor current turns negative; increasing the inductor current from a current lower limit with the first switch module passive; and increasing the inductor current with the first switch module active with zero voltage.
