Abstract:
Two proposals are made for power supply systems comprising at least one resonant inverter and one control unit. According to the first proposal the power supply system comprises two inverters and produces two output voltages, the control circuit processing as an actual value on the one hand the sum of and on the other hand the difference between the two output voltages. According to the second proposal a control circuit does not directly process the controlled variables for a power supply system comprising at least one inverter, but difference units for controlled variables determine the deviations from a preceding sampling instant and these difference values are processed. Also the correcting variable calculated in this way is a difference value which is converted into a correcting variable value by a correcting variable summing unit. The two proposals can be advantageously combined. As an important improvement is proposed the use of a limiting controller which generally becomes active in case of imminent transgression of a maximum value and which limits the actuation. The control circuit is preferably used as a digital control circuit for a state space control.

During each output signal period (Ty) altering means (27 to 36) determine in a coarse and fine way a duration (TLP, TTP) of one or both of said output signal period parts (LP, TP) by using a clock signal (Cx) of different clock cycle durations (TCx0, TCx1, TCx2), dependent on a value of a first digital number (D1) and a value of second, less significant digital number (D3, D5), respectively.
Abstract:
A voltage changer (VC) (12) generates a wired VC output voltage (Uw). A transformer (14) fed on its primary side by the VC connects a load output (24) to its secondary side. A resonance capacitor (Cr) forms a resonance layout with leakage inductance for the transformer and/or an external inductance. A test device (16) determines operating parameters for a power supply system. A current sensor (22) measures current (ir) on the primary side of the transformer. An Independent claim is also included for a method for determining operating parameters for a power supply system.

Abstract:
An apparatus and method for determining an output voltage or output current in an SMPS circuit 10 are described. The SMPS circuit comprises a switching element 18 which in operation is switched according to consecutive switching cycles. An electrical value I L within the SMPS circuit 10 is compared to a reference value I ref . The electrical value I L varies within the switching cycle such that is equal to the reference value at least once during each cycle. The comparator signal comp is evaluated to determine timing information t of an instant of change in the signal. The timing information t is used for determining the output voltage V out,Av or output current I out,Av.

Abstract:
Driver circuits (1) for driving load circuits (2, 3) receive source signals from sources and provide feeding signals to the load circuits (2,3) and charging signals to capacitor circuits (21). These capacitor circuits (21) provide supporting signals to the load circuits (2, 3) in addition to the feeding signals. By providing the driver circuits (1) with control circuits (22) for controlling the supporting signals, the capacitor circuits (21) can become less bulky / costly and/or will limit the lifetime of the driver circuits (1) to a smaller extent. Further, these driver circuits (1) may get improved efficiencies. Said controlling may comprise controlling moments in time at which the supporting signals are offered to the load circuits (2, 3) or not, and/or may comprise controlling sizes of the supporting signals, and/or may be done in response to detection results from detectors (23) for detecting parameters of one or more signals. Said controlling may comprise switching via switches (24).
Abstract:
The present invention refers to a DC/AC power inverter control unit of a resonant-type power converter circuit (400), in particular a DC/DC converter, for sup- plying an output power for use in, for example, a high-voltage generator circuitry of an X-rayradiographic imaging system, 3D rotational angiography device or X-raycom- puted tomography device of the fan-or cone-beam type. More particularly, the present invention is directed to a resonant-type power converter circuit which comprises an in- terphase transformer (406) connected in series to at least one series resonant tank circuit (403a and 403a' or 403b and 403b') at the output of two DC/AC power inverter stages (402a+b) supplying a multi-primary winding high-voltage transformer (404), wherein said interphase transformer (406) serves for removing the difference (DI) in the resonant output currents ( I 1 and I 2 ) of the DC/AC power inverter stages (402a+b). Furthermore, the present invention is dedicated to a control method which assures that the interphase transformer (406) is not saturated. This control method ensures zero current operation and provides for that input power losses can be minimized.
