  • Patent number: 10211735
    Abstract: A voltage converter for fast load transient response adapted for a boost type voltage converter determines whether a transient state occurs, that is, whether a load is converted from a heavy load to a light load, according to a transient detection circuit. When the transient state occurs, an inductive current quickly drops to a corresponding current value to accelerate the rate of an output voltage returning to a stable voltage value, and to shorten a time of load transient response, so as to avoid affecting the performance of a load, especially a sensitive load.

  • Patent number: 9534544
    Abstract: A method and system for increasing regenerative energy available during deceleration by reducing engine pumping losses. The method includes a controller that reduces fuel delivery to the engine and closes an engine throttle during deceleration. The controller identifies the maximum kinetic energy available during deceleration and opens an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve and engine throttle as necessary to reduce a vacuum in an engine intake manifold, thus minimizing engine pumping losses and increasing regenerative energy available during deceleration while ensuring that a catalyst temperature is above a catalyst temperature threshold.
