  • Publication number: 20140306021
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an air conditioner control device, air conditioning system, and air conditioner control method. The air conditioner control device of the present invention comprises a base and a controller. The base senses a temperature or humidity of a first environment. The controller can be optionally combined with or detached from the base. When the controller is detached from the base, the controller senses a temperature or humidity of a second environment and communicates with the base using a wireless network protocol. By doing so, the output of an air conditioner can be flexibly adjusted depending on the environment that a user is in.

  • Patent number: 8072787
    Abstract: An synchronous rectifying apparatus or synchronous rectifying circuit of a soft switching power converter is provided to improve the efficiency. The integrated synchronous rectifying circuit includes: a power transistor connected from a transformer to the output of the power converter for rectifying; a controller having a latch circuit generates a drive signal to control the power transistor in response to a switching signal generated by a winding of the transformer in response to the switching of the transformer. The controller turns off the power transistor when the switching signal is lower than a low-threshold. The power transistor is turned on when the switching signal is higher than a high-threshold. Furthermore, a maximum-on-time circuit provided in the controller is applied to generate a maximum-on-time signal for limiting the maximum on time of the power transistor.

  • Patent number: 8004862
    Abstract: A synchronous rectifying circuit of soft switching power converter is provided to improve the efficiency. The integrated synchronous rectifier includes a power transistor connected from a transformer to the output of the power converter for rectifying. A controller having a latch circuit generates a drive signal to control the power transistor in response to a switching-current signal. A current transformer generates the switching-current signal in response to the switching current of the transformer. The controller turns off the power transistor when the switching-current signal is lower than a second threshold. The power transistor is turned on once the switching-current signal is higher than a first threshold. Furthermore, a pulse-width detection circuit generates a pulse signal coupled to disable the drive signal and turn off the power transistor.

  • Patent number: 7835162
    Abstract: A power converter and a PWM controller for compensating a maximum output power includes a power switch, an oscillator, a control circuit and a delay modulator. The oscillator generates a pulse signal. The control circuit is coupled to the oscillator for generating a PWM signal and an over current signal in response to the pulse signal and a current sense signal of the power converter. The delay modulator is coupled to the control circuit for generating a delay control signal in response to the PWM signal and the over current signal, wherein the delay control signal is used to prolong a propagation delay time of the control circuit in response to the on-time of the PWM signal, and the propagation delay time can be compensated by the on-time of the PWM signal to limit the maximum output power under a high-line input voltage and a heavy-load condition.
