  • Publication number: 20240129171
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to signal transmission device, signal transmission method and communication system. The signal transmission device includes: a digital-to-analog converter configured to convert digital signals to analog signals; a modulator configured to modulate the analog signals to generate modulated pulse signals; and a transmitter configured to transmit, based on the modulated pulse signals, output pulse signals to a receiver, wherein the transmitter is configured to have no common ground with the receiver. In the solution in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, the high resolution can also be maintained under high speed data transmission, so as to overcome the conflicts between the resolution and the transmission frequency of the digital signal transmission in the existing schemes.

  • Publication number: 20240106355
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for controlling a converter and a converter system. The method includes obtaining voltage signals indicating phase voltages of three phases at AC side of a converter, determining, based on the voltage signals, carrier signals of a three-phase switching branches of the converter, wherein carrier signals of two of three phases have the same phase with each other and have a different phase from a carrier signal of the rest phase of the three phases, and magnitude of a phase voltage of the rest phase is between the phase voltages of the two phases, and generating, based on the determined carrier signals and modulation wave signals of the three-phase switching branches, control signals of the three-phase switching branch.

  • Patent number: 9729055
    Abstract: Systems and methods of increasing power converter efficiency are provided. A power converter includes a boost circuit configured to receive a DC input voltage ranging from a minimum input voltage value to a maximum voltage value, boost the DC input voltage to a predefined nominal voltage value when the DC input voltage has a value between the minimum input voltage value and the predefined nominal voltage value, and maintain the DC input voltage when the DC input voltage has a value that is greater than or equal to the predefined nominal voltage value and less than the maximum input voltage value. The unit also includes a DC-DC converter coupled to an output of the boost circuit, the DC-DC converter configured to convert the boosted DC voltage or the maintained DC voltage to a DC output voltage.
