Abstract: An energy delivery system comprises a power supply configured to generate a pulsed output voltage and a pulsed output current, and an over-energy protection (OEP) circuit coupled to the power supply. The OEP circuit senses the output current of the power supply and generates a sensed current signal, generates a charge-delivered signal from the sensed current signal that is representative of the charge delivered by the power supply over a time interval, and generates a fault signal that disables the power supply if the charge-delivered signal exceeds a threshold.

Abstract: A power supply component comprising a supply node to provide a supply voltage and a supply line to provide a source voltage. The supply line comprising a source node that has a source voltage, and the supply line includes a supply line switch coupled between the source node and the supply node, wherein the supply line switch couples the source voltage to the supply node when the supply line switch is closed. A current diversion component diverts leakage current away from one or both of the source node and the supply node when the supply line switch is open.

Abstract: A power supply and associated method are disclosed. The power supply comprises a pulse generator configured to receive power from an electrical source and provide power between a first node and a second node. A switch circuit is coupled to the pulse generator, and a sensor is configured to sense current of the power supply and to generate a signal indicative of the current. Control logic is configured, in response to the signal exceeding a threshold, to control the switch circuit to block forward current from the electrical source while simultaneously allowing reverse current to flow to the electrical source.

Abstract: A power conversion system comprises a power converter configured to convert an input voltage to an output voltage. The power converter comprises an inductor, at least one power switch coupled to the inductor, a feedback circuit, and a controller. The power converter is configured to generate a sensed output voltage based on the output voltage, provide a feedback signal based on a relationship of the sensed output voltage with a reference voltage, and adjust the reference voltage from a first value to a second value after the sensed output voltage has exceeded the first value. The controller is coupled to the at least one power switch and to the feedback circuit and configured to control the at least one power switch to generate the output voltage based on the feedback signal.
