  • Patent number: 11081959
    Abstract: A power conversion device is provided. The power conversion device includes a path module and a control module. The path module includes a first path and a second path. The control module generates a first control signal for controlling the first path and a second control signal for controlling the second path. When an input voltage value received by the path module is less than a first threshold and a boosting operation is performed for the first time, the control module generates the first control signal to interrupt the first path to stop outputting the input power, and adjusts a duty cycle of the second control signal to a first duty cycle based on an input current value and the input voltage value, so as to stabilize an output voltage value.

  • Patent number: 10992227
    Abstract: A power supply apparatus and a control method thereof are provided. Power conversion is performed according to a switching signal group to provide an output voltage and an output current. An error value between the output voltage and a reference voltage is multiplied by a proportional parameter to obtain a proportional result. The error value is multiplied by an integration parameter to obtain a first calculation value which is then accumulated over time to obtain an integration result. When a slope of the output current is greater than a reference slope and a slope of the output voltage is negative, the slope of the output voltage is multiplied by a differential parameter to obtain a second calculation value which is then added to the integration result over time. A duty cycle of the switching signal group is adjusted according to the sum of the proportional result and the integration result.

  • Patent number: 10833604
    Abstract: A power converter device includes a first phase-shift full-bridge circuit, a second phase-shift full-bridge circuit, a detector circuit, and a control circuit. The control circuit controls the first phase-shift full bridge circuit and the second phase-shift full bridge circuit. The control circuit disables the second phase-shift full-bridge circuit when the output current is less than a first predetermined value. The control circuit enables the second phase-shift full-bridge circuit when the output current is equal to or greater than the first predetermined value. The control circuit controls a synchronous switching circuit of the second phase-shift full-bridge circuit to operate in a traditional control mode when the output current is equal to or greater than a second predetermined value and a duty cycle of a phase-shift switching circuit is equal to or greater than a third predetermined value. The second predetermined value is greater than the first predetermined value.
