  • Publication number: 20230208300
    Abstract: A feedback control unit includes a controller which calculates a duty ratio for switching elements on the basis of a command value and a detection value of electrical information. A continuous/discontinuous current mode distinguishment unit includes a duty ratio increase/decrease distinguishment unit which performs distinguishment between increase and decrease in the duty ratio, and an output voltage detection value increase/decrease distinguishment unit which performs distinguishment between increase and decrease in a detection value of a voltage of second terminals. If the duty ratio has decreased and the detection value of the voltage has increased, or if the duty ratio has increased and the detection value of the voltage has decreased, the continuous/discontinuous current mode distinguishment unit determines that an operation mode is a discontinuous current mode, and feeds back a result of the determination to the feedback control unit.

  • Publication number: 20220368231
    Abstract: To provide a controller for power conversion circuit which can maintain the detection value of second voltage at the target value of second voltage without depending on feedback control, when the first voltage is varied. A controller for power conversion circuit changes a control value by feedback control so that the detection value of second voltage approaches a target value of second voltage; calculates a control value for control, by correcting the control value based on the detection value of first voltage so as to correct, in feedforward manner, a change of the control value due to a change of the first voltage if correction of the control value is not performed; and controls on/off the switching device based on the control value for control.

  • Patent number: 11183929
    Abstract: A power conversion device including: a power conversion unit which is connected to two DC power supplies and performs power conversion; and a control unit which calculates a manipulated variable for controlling output voltage of the power conversion unit, wherein the manipulated variable for control is calculated on the basis of a voltage detection value on the primary side or the secondary side of the power conversion unit and a predetermined fixed value.

  • Patent number: 11183931
    Abstract: To provide a power converter which can maintain the stability and the response of the feedback control system, even if the frequency characteristic of the chopper circuit changes according to change of driving condition. A power converter is provided with a chopper circuit which has reactor and switching device; and a control circuit which changes a feedback value of duty ratio of the switching device so that a deviation between a target value of output voltage and a detection value of output voltage approaches to 0, wherein the control circuit changes a frequency characteristic of the feedback control, based on at least any two or more of information on the output voltage, information on an input voltage, and information on duty ratio.
