  • Patent number: 12278551
    Abstract: Several current sensing techniques are described that may be used to obtain an accurate current signal, which may help to achieve the best performance with a trans-inductor voltage regulator (TLVR) topology. The techniques may have the coupling effect from the secondary side included, so the current sensing signal is accurate for the regulation and other functions related to the current signal. The current sensing techniques may have more accurate gain and phase information in the middle frequency and high frequency ranges. The coupling effect from the secondary side may be well represented in the current sensing signal. The advantages of TLVR topology may be enhanced with accurate current information.

  • Publication number: 20240339921
    Abstract: A photovoltaic system and a control method. The photovoltaic system includes a master DC/DC converter; a slave DC/DC converter; a master DC/AC converter; and a slave DC/AC converter. The master DC/AC converter is configured to send a current instruction value and an input voltage of the master DC/AC converter to the slave DC/AC converter; and the slave DC/AC converter is configured to control an output current, based on an input voltage of the slave DC/AC converter, the current instruction value, and the input voltage of the master DC/AC converter, so that a current through the N wire is less than a preset current.

  • Patent number: 9544956
    Abstract: In a two-stage power converter providing voltage regulation in a first stage, zero voltage switching (ZVS) is provided in switches in an unregulated, constant frequency second stage of a two-stage power converter by an inductor of a CLL resonant circuit connected in parallel with both a series connection of an external inductor and a primary winding of one or more transformers connected in series and an output of the switching circuit so that the output capacitances of the switches can be charged and discharged, respectively, by current in the parallel-connected inductor and independently of current in the magnetizing inductance of the transformer. Therefore, the magnetizing inductance of the transformer can be made sufficiently large to balance currents delivered to respective loads as is particularly desirable for driving a plurality of unbalanced LED strings independently of the value of the parallel-connected inductor which is desirably small.

  • Publication number: 20150289331
    Abstract: Zero voltage switching (ZVS) is provided in switches of a switching circuit in a second stage of a power converter by an inductor of a CLL resonant circuit connected in parallel with both a primary winding of one or more transformers connected in series and an output of the switching circuit so that the parasitic output capacitances of the switches can be charged and discharged, respectively, during the dead-time of the switching circuit by current in the inductor and independently of current in the magnetizing inductance of the transformer. Therefore, the magnetizing inductance of the transformer can be made sufficiently large to balance currents delivered to respective loads that may be unbalanced as is particularly desirable for driving a plurality of LED strings for illumination and is consistent with controlled dimming of the LED strings.
