    Abstract: A method is shown to improve any forward topology operation to achieve efficient resonant transitions by actively shorting the magnetizing inductance and release the short at another time thus producing lower switching losses independent of frequency. In another embodiment of this invention the current from the output inductor is allowed to go negative before the freewheeling synchronous rectifier is turned off, pushing the current back into the primary to create a soft transition across the switching elements before they are turned on. In another embodiment of the invention a current source is used to inject a negative current through the freewheeling synchronous rectifier before is turned off with the purpose of transferring the current into the primary to discharge the parasitic capacitances of the primary switchers before are turned on. An optimized control method can be utilized to tailor the frequency to create the necessary conditions requested by the embodiments of the invention.

    Abstract: Ideal switch bridgeless PFC topologies are presented with the purpose of increasing the efficiency in power factor correction circuits and inverter applications. The topology also leverages the new GaN switches that are available. This patent offers also a very good solution for the Zero crossing distortion problem improving greatly the THD both in power factor correction and inverter applications.

    Abstract: A method for operation of a single-ended forward converter to achieve “true soft switching” The method includes injecting, with a current source and in transformer winding, a narrow pulse of current via an injection winding of the transformer to add such pulse to the magnetizing current to exceed the current level of current passing through freewheeling rectifier to reduce that current to zero time when the freewheeling rectifier is turns off at zero current conditions. Further, the sum of the magnetizing current and the injected current provide the current required by the output inductor during the transition time. The amplitude of injected current is defined such that the sum is greater than the minimum current through the output inductor (at least by an amount that reflects into the primary winding). The amount of current reflected in the primary is chosen to be sufficiently large to discharge parasitic capacitances reflected across the primary main switch to zero during the transition time.

    Abstract: Meeting todays requirement in power supply technology demands significant technological advancement in optimizing circuit topology, components and materials, thermal and packaging designs. These requirements are being pushed mainly by continuously increasing power density and efficiency requirements. Ultimately, these trends will come to a point whereby limitations from the above mentioned technological advancements is dependent on one of the above, which is the packaging design. To realize this dependence, we need to look at the growing power systems for modern equipment out there. Let us enumerate some of the available AC adapters in terms of power densities of a 45 W adapter. Firstly, square type architecture introduced by Apple is about 7 W/in3, considering the packaging has a profile limitation whereby its AC plug is removable thus occupying relatively bigger chunk of the volume. The next one is by Asus of similar profile to Apple incorporating the AC Plug eliminating the socket assembly in the packaging; which packs about 9 W/in3. Lastly, the typical rectangular profile by Eos which is about 7 W/in3. As for this particular embodiment it is about 40% smaller in profile, in contrast to the 45 W Apple packaging, with increase power density of about 12 W/in3. Packaging design method plays a great role in achieving the above requirements for a very high density converters.
