Abstract: A system for a direct current (DC)-DC converter includes a transformer, a bridge driver connected to a primary side of the transformer, and a bridge rectifier connected to a secondary side of the transformer, wherein one or more switches in the bridge driver are operable to configure the bridge driver into each of a half-bridge driver configuration and a full-bridge driver configuration, and to transition between the half-bridge driver configuration and the full-bridge driver configuration while the DC-DC converter is outputting power.

Abstract: A system for an AC to DC PFC converter includes a first phase switch group connected to a first node to receive power from a first phase of a voltage source; a second phase switch group connected to a second node to receive power from a second phase of the voltage source; a third phase switch group connected to a third node to receive power from a third phase of the voltage source; a neutral phase switch group connected to a fourth node to be connected to a ground terminal of the voltage source; a first switch connected to the first node and the second node; and a second switch connected to the second node and the third node.

Abstract: A control methodology for a two-stage PWM DC-DC conversion system, with transformer-isolation, in which the converter circuit input voltage is compared to a set voltage calibrated as a function of the desired output voltage and the maximum voltage conversion ratio provided by the second-stage converter. When the input voltage is above the set voltage, the second-stage converter is controlled to provide both output voltage regulation during normal operation and output current limiting during over-current conditions. However, when the input voltage is below the set voltage, the first-stage converter is controlled to provide output voltage regulation with minor output current limiting, and the second-stage converter is controlled to provide extended output current limiting independent of the input voltage.
