Abstract: A power converter with an adjustable output voltage has an isolation DC/DC transformer, a primary side circuit connected to a primary coil of the isolation DC/DC transformer for transmitting an input AC power to the primary coil, and a secondary side circuit connected to a secondary coil of the isolation DC/DC transformer. The secondary side circuit includes a first output loop, a second output loop and a mode switch connected in the first output loop. When power consumption of a load is low, the mode switch is turned off to interrupt the first output loop so that the secondary side circuit generates a first output voltage with a low voltage level. When power consumption of a load is high, the mode switch is turned on and the secondary side circuit generates a second output voltage with a high voltage level. Without greatly increasing circuits, the power converter achieves wide-range voltage regulation.

When one of the output ports requests for a demand power, the power supply device is able to determine which one or both of the power output ends to output power to the output port, reaching a better power allocation efficiency.

Abstract: An integrated driving module includes an oscillator, a PWM unit, a soft start controller, a first driver, and a second driver. The oscillator is connected to a voltage input end and generates an oscillating signal. The PWM unit receives the oscillating signal and generates a first driving control signal and a second driving control signal that are respectively anti-phased. The first driver outputs a first driving output signal to a first output end according to the first driving control signal. The second driver outputs the second driving output signal to a second output end according to the second driving control signal. The integrated driving module only has four connection ends for external connection to provide the two anti-phase driving output signals, such that the circuit design and connection of the primary side of the transformer is greatly simplified. The design limitation and manufacturing cost can be both lowered.

Abstract: A power supply device includes a power output terminal, a power converter and an electronic circuit breaker. In view of operation of the electronic circuit breaker, when an electric appliance that acts as a load is connected between the power output terminal and a ground terminal, the electronic circuit breaker is activated to output voltage from the power converter to the power output terminal so as to charge the electric appliance. When the electric appliance is done with charging and is removed, the electronic circuit breaker is deactivated to prevent voltage of the power converter from being outputted to the power output terminal. Thus, even if the power output terminal is exposed, the power output terminal won't output power to result in electric shock because of users' inadvertent contact when no electric appliance is being charged, thereby enhancing operational safety.

Abstract: The redundant power supply device includes a power output port, a converter, a comparator unit and an output protection switch. The output protection switch is electrically connected between an output terminal of the converter and the power output port, and the comparator unit compares the voltage across the output protection switch and controls the output protection switch accordingly. The redundant power supply device has a control module that performs a protection control method. When the voltage of the power output port is higher than a preset voltage value and the output current is lower than a preset current value, the control module outputs a short turn-off signal to the enable terminal of the comparator unit, preventing the comparator unit from failing to perform the output protection as designed due to external abnormal slow rising voltage, and ensuring the redundant power supply unit operates normally.

Abstract: A redundant power supply system has power supplies and holdup control circuits. The power supplies are connected in parallel for connecting to an input capacitor of a load system. An OR-gate anti-reverse current element is connected between each of the power supplies and the input capacitor. The holdup control circuits correspondingly connect to the DC output sides of the power supplies. Each of the holdup control circuits has an inductor, an electronic switch and a controller. The inductor is connected in series to the OR-gate anti-reverse current element. The electronic switch is connected between the DC output side of the corresponding power supply and a node where the inductor and the OR-gate anti-reverse current element are connected. The controller turns on and off of the electronic switch according to the DC power output from the DC output sides, thereby prolonging the holdup time after a power failure.

Abstract: The present application is a converter having a low loss snubber. The low loss snubber of the converter includes a clamping winding, a first capacitor, and a second capacitor. The clamping winding is magnetically coupled with a primary winding of a transformer of the converter. The primary winding to a secondary winding of the transformer leakage inductance energy is recovered by storing the energy in the second capacitor. When the second capacitor is discharging, the energy in the second capacitor may be further transferred to the first capacitor. When the first capacitor is discharging, energy in the first capacitor may be further returned to the power source. Therefore, the energy in the first capacitor and the energy in the second capacitor may not be consumed by a resistor, and power consumption of the low loss snubber may be decreased.

The power converter is controlled by a control signal outputted from an output terminal of a controller. The method includes steps of: receiving an output voltage from an output terminal of a voltage converter; attenuating the output voltage to generate an electrical signal; acquiring a DC signal from the electrical signal; and obtaining a ripple compensation signal in accordance with the electrical signal and the DC signal to output to an output terminal of a controller. The output terminal of the controller outputs a control signal to control the power converter.

Abstract: A control method for an active clamp converter has steps of: detecting a state of the load; when the state of the load is a light-load state, using a skipping mode to control a switch frequency of a master switch; when the state of the load is not the light-load state, using an ACF mode to control the switch frequency of the master switch. In the skipping mode, the switch frequency is decreased when the state of the load is getting light, thus providing an energy efficiency power saving function for the light-load state. In the ACF mode, the master switch is controlled to turn on while a reverse current is generated, thus the switching loss of the master switch is reduced.

Abstract: A DC converter includes a non-isolated conversion module and an isolated conversion module. The non-isolated conversion module is implemented based on a redundant structure and has a first power conversion loop, a second power conversion loop, and an energy storage element. The first and second power conversion loops are connected and share the energy storage element. The energy storage element is further connected to an input terminal of the isolated conversion module. The first and second conversion loops of the non-isolated conversion module convert DC power outputted from two battery sets and output the converted power to the isolated conversion module. The isolated conversion module further supplies DC power to a load. Accordingly, power supply systems using the foregoing DC converter can reduce the number of transformer therein and thus size reduction of the power supply system can be achieved.
