  • Publication number: 20240136933
    Abstract: A back-end energy storage isolation fly-back conversion apparatus (10) includes a return switch (Q1), a driving switch (Q2), an energy storage capacitor (Cs), a transformer (Ti), a resonant inductor (Lr), a first rectifier (104), an output capacitor (Cout), and a controller (116). The transformer (T1) includes a primary-side winding (Lm) and a secondary-side first winding (102). The return switch (Q1) is turned on by the controller (116), so that the energy storage capacitor (Cs) is charged by a primary-side current (I1) flowing through the resonant inductor (Lr), the primary-side winding (Lm), and the return switch (Q1), and the secondary-side first winding (102) is powered by the primary-side current (I1). When the primary-side current (I1) becomes negative, the energy storage capacitor (Cs) discharges through the return switch (Q1) and the primary-side winding (Lm) and continuously supplies power to the secondary-side first winding (102).

  • Publication number: 20160135260
    Abstract: A switch circuit for light-emitting diode is provided. The switch circuit includes a power module, a light-emitting diode module, an inductor, a first switch, a second switch and a capacitor. When the input voltage of the power module is higher than the forward bias voltage of the light-emitting diode module, the first switch is switched repeatedly and the second switch is turned off, so that the power supply can charge the inductor and/or the capacitor. When the input voltage of the power module and the storage voltage of the capacitor both are lower than the forward bias voltage of the light-emitting diode module, the first switch and the second switch are controlled to switch repeatedly and synchronously, so that the power energy of the power module or the discharge energy of the capacitor can be used to continuously charge the inductor.

  • Patent number: 9155142
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide an LED driver circuit which includes a capacitor and at least one LED respectively connected in parallel to a power source through a switch device, and a controller having an input end connected to a line between the switch device and the power source and being configured for detecting an input voltage applied to the LED. When the controller detected that the input voltage is unable to drive the LED to emit light, the controller activates the switch device to make only the connection between the capacitor and the at least one LED, such that the capacitor discharges a voltage stored therein to the at least one LED to continuously emit light. Since the driver circuit only needs a small-capacity, low-cost capacitor for increasing the light emission time of the at least one LED, the cost of the driver circuit can be lowered effectively.

  • Publication number: 20150280566
    Abstract: A switch circuit comprises an unidirectional power source module, an unidirectional load module, an inductor and a switch module. By controlling a switching operation of the switch module, the inductor is enabled to store or discharge the electrical energy so as to modulate the operating current. When the inductor supplies the electrical energy to the unidirectional load module, the inductor and the unidirectional load module consist of a loop. When the input voltage is at a higher potential, the switch circuit may control the operating current by the inductor's properties so as to modulate the operating power of the unidirectional load module, and when the input voltage is at a lower potential, the switch circuit still may store or discharge the electrical energy by switching the inductor so as to provide the operating current to the unidirectional load module.
