Kazutoshi Fuchigami has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6778417
    Abstract: This electric-power supplying device comprises switching elements, rectifying elements, and a control circuit. The switching elements are switched according to a switching pulse so as to perform a rectification. The rectifying elements are connected in parallel with the switching elements so as to perform a rectification. The control circuit alters the switching pulse gradually upon switching between the rectification performed by the switching elements and the rectification performed by the rectifying elements.

  • Patent number: 6169675
    Abstract: A synchronous rectifying type DC-DC converter including an auxiliary winding, provided on a secondary side of a transformer, for supplying voltages assuming polarities opposite to each other to control terminals of a rectifying switch and of a fly wheel switch, and the rectifying switch and the fly wheel switch are so constructed as not to be turned ON/OFF by a voltage generated on a supply path of an electric current to a load from a secondary winding of the transformer. When connecting a plurality of DC-DC converters in parallel and operating these converters in parallel, an output of any one of the converters stops, and, even if outputs of the other DC-DC converters are inputted to the DC-DC converter concerned and the electric current flows into the current supply path, a voltage based on the above current is not applied to control terminals of the rectifying switch and of the fly wheel switch. The rectifying switch and the fly wheel switch are not therefore turned ON.

  • Patent number: 6040987
    Abstract: A DC--DC converter unit includes a power conversion transformer, a switching device for switching a DC voltage supplied to a primary winding of the power conversion transformer, a rectifying circuit for synchronously rectifying a AC voltage generated on a secondary winding of the power conversion transformer so that a DC voltage is obtained, and a reset circuit for resetting excitation energy which has been stored in the power conversion transformer by an on-operation of the switching device, so that the voltage which is switched has a square waveform.

  • Patent number: 5726869
    Abstract: Disclosed is a synchronous rectifier type DC-to-DC converter capable of preventing an increase in losses occurring when a rectifier synchronous rectification switch and a flywheel synchronous rectification switch, which are responsible for rectification on the side of a secondary winding of a transformer, are turned on simultaneously, and the destruction of FETs or windings due to large currents. The DC-to-DC converter comprises a transformer, a primary switching device connected in series with a primary winding of the transformer, a control circuit for controlling turning on or off of the primary switching device, a rectifier synchronous rectification switching device, and a flywheel synchronous rectification switching device, and converts a voltage of a DC power source into another voltage.
