  • Patent number: 11811542
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and devices for providing galvanic isolation and low power wakeup of circuitry. According to one embodiment, an apparatus includes first isolation circuitry, second isolation circuitry, and first control circuitry. The first isolation circuitry includes a first primary interface and a first secondary interface. The first primary interface is galvanically isolated from the first secondary interface. The second isolation circuitry includes a second primary interface and a second secondary interface. The second primary interface is galvanically isolated from the second secondary interface. The first control circuitry is electrically coupled with the first secondary interface and the second secondary interface.

  • Patent number: 11689048
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and devices for supporting the transition to lithium-ion batteries and leveraging the value that lithium-ion batteries offer in double conversion uninterruptible power supply (UPS) applications. According to one embodiment, a UPS system includes an alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) rectifier configured to be electrically coupled with an AC source, a DC to AC inverter configured to be electrically coupled with an AC load, a DC bus electrically coupled between the AC to DC rectifier and the DC to AC inverter. The UPS system also includes a diode electrically coupled between the DC bus and a first battery cell of a plurality of battery cells, and a by-pass relay having a first terminal electrically coupled with an anode of the diode and a second terminal electrically coupled with a cathode of the diode.
