  • Publication number: 20260100633
    Abstract: A method of controlling a converting device is disclosed. The method comprises turning on a first switch coupled to a primary coil and a second switch coupled to the primary coil to generate a primary current flowing through the primary coil; generating a secondary current flowing through a secondary coil according to the primary current, and powering a load by the secondary current; when each of the first switch and the second switch is turned off, turning on a third switch coupled to the primary coil and a fourth switch coupled to the primary coil; when the third switch is turned off, discharging a capacitor of the second switch to the primary coil, and reducing a voltage difference of two terminals of the second switch to a zero voltage level; and turning on the second switch when the voltage difference of the two terminals of the second switch has the zero voltage level.

  • Publication number: 20260058561
    Abstract: A power converter comprising a circuit substrate, a controller circuit, and multiple power conversion circuits is provided. The controller circuit is arranged on the circuit substrate. The multiple power conversion circuits are coupled to the controller circuit, and are arranged on the circuit substrate in an in-line package. The power conversion circuits are connected in parallel, and are configured to convert an input power into an output power. The controller circuit is configured to control multiple power switches in the power conversion circuits by multiple phase-interleaved signals so that the power conversion circuits generate the output power.

  • Patent number: 11670444
    Abstract: An integrated magnetic assembly includes a magnetic core having a first component and a second component. The first component includes a first face and a winding leg extending from the first face. The winding leg includes a top face spaced from and oriented generally parallel to the first face. The second component is coupled to the first component and has a second face facing the first face. The second component further includes a third face recessed from and oriented generally parallel to the second face and a recess sidewall extending between the second face and the third face. The integrated magnetic assembly further includes an input winding and an output winding each inductively coupled to the magnetic core. The third face and the recess sidewall define a recess within the second face. Additionally, a gap is defined between the top face and the third face.
