Patent number: 7564700Abstract: The present invention relates to a switched mode power supply with programmable digital control and to a power supply system comprising a plurality of switched mode power supplies. The input terminals and the output terminals of the switched mode power supply system are separated by an insulation barrier, and the switched mode power supply comprises a conversion stage having at least one switching element. The switching element of the conversion stage, as well as any switching elements of a possible pre-regulator, is digitally controlled by a programmable digital circuit. In one embodiment of the switched mode power supply, the programmable digital circuit is located on the primary side of the insulation barrier.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2008Date of Patent: July 21, 2009Assignee: Emerson Energy Systems, ABInventors: Anders Hansson, Thomas Sahlstrom, Jun Ma, Mattias Andersson

Patent number: 6577516Abstract: A rectifier comprising a preregulator (11; 21) and a DC/DC converter (13; 23) is disclosed, comprising means for controlling the output power POUT from the DC/DC converter in dependence of the input power to the preregulator. A method of controlling such a rectifier by controlling the output power POUT in dependence of the input current IIN is also disclosed. This ensures that the output power from the rectifier is never higher than what the preregulator can supply. As a result the rectifier according to the invention may be used at any power level and any input conditions. The output power POUT may be controlled by controlling the output current IOUT from the DC/DC converter.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2001Date of Patent: June 10, 2003Assignee: Emerson Energy Systems ABInventors: Christer Thoren, Thomas Sahlstrom

Patent number: 5793190Abstract: As a front end power factor correction circuit in a rectifier a boost conversion topology is often used. A great problem with this topology is the rectifier diode. This diode must be of a high voltage type in a boost application and will therefore have a large reverse-recovery current before it will block the voltage. This current may cause large losses. With the solution according to the invention care will be taken to the recovery current in a more effective way than any earlier solution has obtained. The proposed circuit comprises essentially a boost circuit, where a main and first inductor L1(3) and a main and first diode D1(4) are connected in series from an input to an output and a main and first capacitor C1(5) from an output to ground. A main and first transistor M1(1) is connected from between the first inductor L1(3) and the first diode D1(4) to ground.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 1997Date of Patent: August 11, 1998Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM EricssonInventors: Thomas Sahlstrom, Christer Thoren
