  • Patent number: 10243474
    Abstract: An asymmetric electronic half-bridge converter includes a positive input terminal and a negative input terminal for receiving a DC voltage, and two output terminals for providing a regulated output voltage or a regulated output current. The electronic converter moreover includes a half-bridge, a transformer and a rectification and filter circuit. The half-bridge includes a first and second electronic switch, connected in series between the two input terminals, wherein a respective capacitance and a respective diode are associated with the first and second electronic switch. A first terminal of the primary winding is connected to the intermediate point between the first and second electronic switch, and a second terminal of the primary winding is connected via a first capacitor to the positive or negative input terminal. The rectification and filter circuit is connected between the secondary winding and the output terminals.

  • Patent number: 9384915
    Abstract: A switch assembly, for instance adapted to wall-side installations, for supply arrangements of a load via multiple activation points (for example in the form of “double switching”), comprises a pair of traveler contacts alternatively connectable to a power supply, as well as a switch having an output contact, alternatively connectable to one or the other of the traveler contacts, respectively, on the basis of the current position of switch. Switch is an electronic switch which is connected, for example through an electronic circuit which optionally also performs a driving function on switch, to a respective power line. Powering elements are provided, for example in the form of a pair of diodes, controlled electronic switches or diode bridges, which connect said respective power line to the one of traveler contacts which is currently connected to power supply, therefore ensuring a steady supply irrespective of the switch position.
