  • Patent number: 8929109
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a double-output half-bridge LLC serial resonant converter, comprising: a half-bridge rectifying unit, a first resonant unit, a first transformer unit, a first rectifying unit, a first output unit, a second resonant unit, a second transformer unit, a second rectifying unit, a second output unit, a voltage dividing unit, a voltage regulating unit, a light-coupling isolation unit, and a control unit. In the present invention, the double-output half-bridge LLC serial resonant converter has an inventive circuit framework, which can not only solve the unbalance load current and the output voltage cross regulation occurred in the conventional double-output convertor, but also normally modulate the no-load or light-load output voltage; therefore the output voltage deviation can be effectively controlled.

  • Patent number: 8786215
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a double-output high-efficiency LED light-modulating circuit, comprising: a single-stage flyback power factor corrector, a DC/DC convertor, an LED module, and a light-modulating switch. In the present invention, it mainly utilizes the single-stage flyback power factor corrector for carrying out the purposes of reducing the components of an LED luminaire controlling circuit and increasing the circuit power conversion efficiency. Moreover, the double-output high-efficiency LED light-modulating circuit further includes a twin-bus light modulation framework, which can not only reduce the cross voltage of the power switch in back-end DC/DC convertor, but also process a high-frequency light modulation and a low-frequency light modulation to the LED luminaire. Therefore, because the cross voltage of the power switch has been reduced, a power switch with lower Rds can be used in the back-end DC/DC convertor for increasing switching speed and reducing switching losses.

  • Publication number: 20120155140
    Abstract: A constant-frequency asynchronous modulation apparatus includes a current feedback control unit connected to a constant-frequency asynchronous modulation unit. The current feedback control unit includes a reference signal generator and an error amplifier. The reference signal generator provides an error. The error amplifier is connected to a reference signal generator, and provides an error-compensating signal based on the error, and adds up a reference signal and the error-compensating signal to provide a compensation reference signal. The constant-frequency asynchronous modulation unit connected to the current feedback control unit, and includes a hysteresis comparator, an integrator connected to the hysteresis comparator, and a hysteresis boundary generator connected to both of the hysteresis comparator and the integrator.
