    Abstract: A system and method for controlling a digital pulse-width modulated power converter achieves a fast large-signal transient response while maintaining a slow response near the steady-state operating point in order to assure stability and to reduce the system's susceptibility to noise. Digital output error samples are processed through a gain scheduling block that applies a non-linear gain function to produce a weak loop response when the system is near its steady-state equilibrium point and a strong loop response when large transients are encountered. The resulting system maintains a fast transient response to large error signals while reducing noise and loop jittering and assuring loop stability.

    Abstract: A solar cell array is provided having a lattice or matrix structure such that no two solar cell devices are connected purely in series or purely in parallel. Accordingly, if a single solar cell device fails, there is an alternate path by which the output power of all other solar cell devices may contribute to the total output power of the solar cell array. Also, the power output of the entire array is much less sensitive to a low voltage or current for a single solar cell device than in a conventional array where devices are connected in series and in parallel. Beneficially, current setting devices, such as resistors, are provided for better matching the voltages and currents within the array, although in some applications, the resistors can be eliminated, or set to zero. The lattice or matrix structures may be extended in one, two, and three-dimensional patterns.

    Abstract: A resonant converter which may be employed as an electronic ballast for a gas discharge lamp, the converter being in the form of a full or half bridge circuit which includes at least a pair of power switches such as MOSFET's. The gates of the switches are actuated by substantially square wave cyclic gating signals having complementary duty cycle ratios and a frequency somewhat above a resonant frequency of the converter circuit. The energy supply to the lamp is variable in accordance with the duty cycle ratios of the gating signals. In order to avoid generation of high voltage and current transients in the converter when a change in operating state requiring a substantial change in duty cycle ratios of the gating signals is to be performed, as when effecting turn-on or turn-off of the lamp, the changes in the duty cycle ratio are ramped to occur incrementally over several cycles of the gating signals rather than directly to required final values of the duty cycle ratios.

    Abstract: An LCD backlight inverter that comprises a power stage that includes a first power switch and a second power switch that powers one or more cold cathode fluorescent lamps. A controller generates control signals, receives an IC supply input signal having a voltage level equaling or exceeding a prescribed threshold level, and provides a steady-state internal oscillation that drives said first and second power switches. A transient prevention circuit maintains said second power switch in a nonconducting state until at least a time at which said IC supply input signal reaches said prescribed voltage threshold. Alternatively, a transient prevention circuit maintains said second power switch in a nonconducting state until at least a time at which said IC supply input signal reaches said prescribed voltage threshold, and additionally prevents the controller oscillator from generating said internally generated oscillation until at least a time at which a supply voltage to the IC reaches a threshold value.
