    Abstract: An AC to DC conversion system is described. The conversion system consists of an electronic switch and control circuitry employed to provide controlled pulsed power to a storage device that provides power to a load at either a preselected or manually or automatic selectable voltages while ensuring the voltage drop across the switch is minimized to reduce power dissipated through the switch itself, thereby significantly increasing the efficiency and reducing thermal losses. The AC to DC converter in one minimal version consists of a pair of N-MOSFET transistors, a voltage divider, a storage element and a pair of diodes. The design enables high efficiency with minimal components that may be fully integrated onto silicon.

    Abstract: A switch circuit is configured of a first semiconductor element and a second semiconductor element connected in series, and receives a DC voltage of 100 V or more. The drive circuit causes the first semiconductor element or the second semiconductor element to perform a switching operation. The isolated power supply circuit converts a predetermined power supply voltage into an isolated first power supply voltage, and outputs the first power supply voltage to the drive circuit. The isolation signal converter converts a first signal of 6 MHz or more into an isolated first drive signal, and outputs the first drive signal to the drive circuit. The single substrate mounts the isolated power supply circuit and the isolation signal converter. Both the first semiconductor element and the second semiconductor element are wide bandgap semiconductor elements.

    Abstract: A method for operating a system including a voltage regulating power supply includes sensing a local voltage on a first node of the system and a remote voltage on a second node of the system. The first node and the second node are in a conductive path coupled to a load of the system. The first node is closer to a power stage of the voltage regulating power supply than the second node. The second node is closer to the load than the first node. The method includes detecting a load release event based on the local voltage, the remote voltage, and at least one predetermined threshold value.
