  • Patent number: 11863077
    Abstract: A power supply system includes an input stage comprising first and second input switches to provide a primary current responsive first and second input switching signals. A transformer generates a secondary current responsive to the primary current. An output stage comprises an output, a first output switch, a second output switch and a clamping switch. The output stage can be configured to generate an output voltage at the output by rectifying the secondary current responsive to respective first and second output switching signals. The clamping switch can be configured to close responsive to a clamp switching signal during an activation dead-time between closing the first input switch and the second input switch. The system further includes a switching controller configured to generate the first and second input switching signals and the first and second output switching signals based on the output voltage, and to generate the clamp switching signal.

  • Patent number: 10770981
    Abstract: The present disclosure is related to a voltage conversion module which includes a front side magneto-sensitive unit, at least one voltage conversion unit, a core group, and a bobbin. The bobbin includes a first accommodating part, a second accommodating part, and a through hole. The first accommodating part is used for accommodating the front side magneto-sensitive unit. The second accommodating part is used for accommodating the at least one voltage conversion unit. The through hole is used for accommodating the core group. The second accommodating part includes first and second openings. The first opening is disposed at one side of the second accommodating part. The second opening is disposed at another side of the second accommodating part. The first and second openings are disposed opposite to each other, and a heat dissipation channel is formed between the first opening, the second opening and the at least one voltage conversion unit.

  • Patent number: 8823336
    Abstract: A bridgeless power factor corrector with a single choke is electrically connected to an AC power source. The bridgeless power factor corrector includes a choke element, a first switch, a second switch, a first diode, a second diode, a capacitor, a first rectify diode, and a second rectify diode. The choke element is electrically connected between the first switch and the second switch. The first switch and the second switch are controlled to be turned on or turned off by a first control signal and a second control signal, respectively, to provide a power factor correction for the AC power source when the AC power source is in a positive half cycle or a negative half cycle. Furthermore, a method of operating the bridgeless power factor corrector is provided.
