  • Patent number: 11901833
    Abstract: Systems and methods for switching between a power supply mode and an electronic load mode are disclosed. For switching from the power supply mode to the electronic load mode, the method comprises the steps of: deactivating a power element; activating a current control module and a phase-locked loop to obtain a voltage phase of a device under test; calculating a turn-on amount of the power element according to a current setting value and the voltage phase; and causing the power element to generate a load current for the device under test. For switching from the electronic load mode to the power supply mode, the method comprises the steps of: deactivating the power element; activating a voltage control module; calculating the turn-on amount of the power element according to a voltage setting value; and causing the power element to input a corresponding voltage to the device under test.

  • Patent number: 11695410
    Abstract: Herein disclosed is a voltage isolation circuit coupled to power supplies. The voltage isolation circuit comprises a series switch group controlled by a first control signal, a parallel switch group controlled by a second control signal, and a first high impedance element. The series switch group comprises a transistor arranged in a first current loop and having two channels connected to one of the power supplies respectively. The first high impedance element, coupled to the transistor in parallel, has a measurement terminal and two ends, connected to one of the power supplies respectively. When the series switch group is conducted, the power supplies are coupled in series in the first current loop. When the parallel switch group is conducted, the power supplies are coupled in parallel in a second current loop. Impedance values measured from the measurement terminal to each end of the first high impedance element are identical.

  • Publication number: 20220209666
    Abstract: The present invention provides a voltage control method for controlling a power supply. The voltage control method comprises the following steps: obtaining a present output voltage value associated with a present gain value; obtaining a predetermined output voltage value associated with a predetermined duty ratio; calculating a target gain value, corresponding to the predetermined duty ratio, according to a gain value formula; performing a weight calculation on the present gain value and the target gain value for generating a buffer gain value; and setting an output voltage command according to the buffer gain value. Wherein the buffer gain value is between the present gain value and the target gain value.
