  • Patent number: 11349385
    Abstract: A start-up circuit for a power converter includes a charging circuit that uses a DC bus voltage of the power converter to generate a charging current to charge an energy storage device to a selected voltage and an auxiliary power output circuit including a transformer primary side auxiliary winding. A control circuit controls one or more switches of the start-up circuit and one or more switches of the power converter primary side. The charging current provides power to the control circuit until the auxiliary power is established. The control circuit disables the start-up circuit when the auxiliary power output is established. The start-up circuit has very low standby power consumption and compact size, and is particularly suitable for power converter applications such as power adapters for portable electronic devices.

  • Patent number: 11346763
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses an apparatus and a method for microbial cell counting, and belongs to the field of cell counting. In the present application, by converting a traditional automated intermittent counting process into a continuous counting process, the cell sap fixed in a blood cell plate in a traditional counter becomes the cell sap flowing in a microchannel, so as to prolong the cell detection time and distance. The size of the microchannel is slightly greater than the diameter of microbial cells, so as to ensure that the cells flow through the cross section of the microchannel one by one. At the same time, since the diameter of the counterbores communicated by the microchannel is slightly greater than the width of the microchannel, the flow rate of the cell sap slows down when the cell sap flows to the counterbores.

  • Publication number: 20220109048
    Abstract: A gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductor device has first and second electrodes connected to a top metal layer disposed in complementary first and second irregular shapes, each irregular shape including a wide connection area at a first end, a tapered area, and a narrow area at a second end. The first and second irregular shapes are arranged adjacent each other along complementary edges such that a gap between the complementary edges is of substantially constant width. The first and second wide connection areas include pads for wire bond or land grid array electrical connections to external circuitry. The first and second irregular shapes for source and drain metal of a field effect transistor (FET) or high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) allows the width of the gate finger to be short so that electrical current injected from the gate can reach all portions of the gate fingers efficiently during high frequency switching, making the topology suitable for high voltage power devices.

  • Publication number: 20220103081
    Abstract: A multi-phase LLC power converter comprises a plurality of LLC phases each including a resonant tank and a switching stage. The resonant tank includes a resonant inductor, a resonant capacitor, and a parallel inductance. The switching stage switches an input power at an operating frequency to apply a switched power to the resonant tank, with the switched power approximating an alternating current (AC) waveform having a switching frequency. A secondary-side controller varies the switching frequency to control an output voltage of the multi-phase LLC power converter. A primary-side controller measures primary-side currents, calculates an initial switch-controlled capacitor (SCC) conduction phase angle for each of the LLC phases, and operates an SCC switch in accordance with an SCC conduction phase angle to adjust the capacitance of the resonant capacitor of an LLC phase to cause each of the LLC phases to have equal resonant frequencies.
