  • Patent number: 11552567
    Abstract: A single-inductor multiple output (SIMO) switched-power DC-DC converter for a class-D amplifier provides outputs that are symmetric about a common-mode input voltage of the amplifier, while remaining asymmetric about a return terminal of the amplifier and switching converter. The DC-DC converter includes an inductive element, a switching circuit that energizes the inductive element from an input source, and a control circuit that controls the switching circuit. The control circuit may have multiple switching modes, and in one of the multiple switching modes, the switching circuit may couple the inductive element between outputs of the converter so that stored energy produces a differential change between the voltages of the outputs. The control circuit may implement a first control loop that maintains a common mode voltage of the pair of outputs at a predetermined voltage independent of the individual voltages of the pair of outputs.

  • Patent number: 11551848
    Abstract: This application provides a planar transformer and a switching power adapter. The planar transformer includes a PCB winding and two magnetic cores. The two magnetic cores wrap two sides of a winding body of the PCB winding to form a closed magnetic loop. A first group of welding points is disposed on a primary-side wire side of the PCB winding, and a second group of welding points is disposed on a secondary-side wire side of the PCB winding. The planar transformer is directly welded to an external circuit board by using the first group of welding points and the second group of welding points. In this way, no pin needs to be welded on the PCB winding board. In addition, the planar transformer can be vertically installed on the external circuit board by using the first group of welding points and the second group of welding points.
