  • Patent number: 11539395
    Abstract: Disclosed are a high-voltage pulse generator and a communication method therefor. The high-voltage pulse generator comprises a master controller and a sub-controller. Data transmitted between the master controller and the sub-controller at least comprise a first class of data and a second class of data, and, the second class of data at least comprise two types. The communication method comprises the following steps: during the present instance of transmitting a first class of data, transmitting partial types of a second class of data; during the next instance of transmitting the first class of data, transmitting other types of second class of data; and repeatedly executing the step until the transmission of all types of second class of data is completed. The present application ensures an increased real time performance in the transmission of the first class of data; moreover, controller pin resources occupied are reduced, costs are reduced, and the problem of data conflict is avoided.

  • Patent number: 11438994
    Abstract: The present application discloses a method for controlling filament current and apparatus. The method comprises: acquiring a current filament current value (S11); determining a current range within which the current filament current value falls (S12); determining a correspondence between a filament current and a control current according to the current range (S13); and determining the current control current according to the current filament current value and the correspondence (S14). The problem of large errors in the control of filament current caused by nonlinear characteristics of a filament transformer can be solved.

  • Publication number: 20160218637
    Abstract: A cascaded modular multilevel converter has a plurality of 4-level converters, each ac phase generates the multilevel voltage waveforms composed of different outputs of the modules in the same phase. Each module is a controlled voltage source. The number of voltage levels in the cascaded converter is determined by the number of modules in each phase and the voltage levels generated by each module. N cascaded 4-level converters generate 4N+1 phase-to-neutral voltage levels and 8N+1 phase-to-phase voltage levels.
