  • Patent number: 10782716
    Abstract: The present disclosure intends to simplify the wiring structure of a switching circuit included in a power conversion apparatus. A feedback signal acquisitor acquires a power supply feedback signal corresponding to electric power transmitted from a power supply switching unit to a load switching unit, via coupling conductive elements, from the power supply switching unit. Alternatively, the feedback signal acquisitor acquires a load feedback signal corresponding to the electric power, via coupling conductive elements, from the load switching unit. A command signal generator generates a power supply switching command signal and a load switching command signal. A command signal transmitter transmits the power supply switching command signal to the power supply switching unit via the coupling conductive elements, and transmits the load switching command signal to the load switching unit via the coupling conductive elements.

  • Patent number: 10340804
    Abstract: A power supply circuit includes inductors, capacitors, and switching elements. Ports are electrically insulated from each other. Two switching elements are alternately switched, and two other switching elements are alternately switched. The inductors are wound such that a magnetic flux is generated in the same direction when a phase difference between the switchings of the switching elements is zero. Duties of the switchings of the switching elements are changed equally, and a phase difference between the switchings is changed.
