Abstract: A method of controlling a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) based on a pulse-width modulation (PWM) control signal is provided to convert an input voltage to an output voltage. The method includes generating an error signal based on a difference between the output voltage and a target output voltage; filtering the error signal to generate a filtered error signal; generating a feed-forward signal based on at least one feed-forward parameter related to at least one of the output voltage, the input voltage, an output power of the SMPS, or an output current corresponding to the output voltage; adding the feed-forward signal and the filtered error signal to generate an integrator input signal; and applying a nonlinear integration function to the integrator input signal to generate the PWM control signal.

Abstract: An apparatus (such as a power converter circuit) includes s primary winding, an auxiliary winding, and an over-load protection circuit (such as a controller and corresponding one or more circuit components). A secondary winding is magnetically coupled to the primary winding and the second auxiliary winding. The controller controls input current through the primary winding of the transformer to produce an output voltage from the secondary winding. The controller monitors a magnitude of an auxiliary voltage received from the auxiliary winding magnetically coupled to the primary winding. The controller detects an overload condition associated with the output voltage based on the magnitude of the auxiliary voltage received from the auxiliary winding. In response to detecting the overload condition, the controller can be configured to reduce a magnitude of the input current inputted to the primary winding, preventing damage to the power converter circuit and corresponding circuitry.

Abstract: A method for controlling a motor vehicle driving on a road in a current lane is described. Environmental data are determined by means of a sensor. At least one utility value functional is determined based on the environmental data, wherein the utility value functional assigns a utility value for the at least one other road user at a predefined point in time in each case for different spatial areas of the current lane and/or the at least one other lane. A two-dimensional representation of the at least one utility functional is determined. At least one probable trajectory of the at least one other road user is determined based on the two-dimensional representation of the utility value functional by applying pattern recognition to the two-dimensional representation. A control unit, a motor vehicle and a computer program are also described.
