  • Patent number: 6504270
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide an uninterruptible switching regulator with which smaller size and lower cost can be achieved while the power supply efficiency is raised, which is accomplished by the effective utilization of an RCC type switching circuit. When the commercial AC input power supply 1 is operating normally, the AC-side RCC type switching circuit 21 is operated preferentially to supply power to the secondary drive circuit 25, but when there is a power outage with the commercial AC power supply 1, the DC-side RCC type switching circuit 69 is operated to supply power to the secondary drive circuit 25, and these two switching circuits can be switched at high speed.

  • Patent number: 5602726
    Abstract: An uninterruptive switching regulator includes, at a primary side, a rectifier circuit, a primary winding of a high-frequency transformer, a primary side switching element, and a switching primary winding, and at a secondary side, a secondary side output circuit having a rectifying and smoothing circuit connected, and at a tertiary side, a tertiary winding, a charge and discharge circuit, a tertiary side switching element, an electrical double layer capacitor, and a switching tertiary winding, respectively. An output is transmitted from the primary side and tertiary side to the secondary side by the flyback system, and when the output voltage of the rectifier circuit at the primary side exceeds a predetermined level, the charge circuit operates, whereas when it does not exceed the predetermined level, the discharge circuit operates.
