Patent
High efficiency switching regulator with adaptive drive output circuit
TL;DR: In this article, switching regulator circuits and methods are provided in which the output circuit is adaptable to maintain high efficiency over various load current levels, where switches differ in their size, such that the most efficient switch can be used at a particular load current level.
Patent
Switching regulators having a synchronizable oscillator frequency with constant ramp amplitude
TL;DR: In this paper, a voltage controlled oscillator circuit (VCO) is used to produce signals that turn ON a switch circuit. But the signal generation circuit is used in place of the phase detector circuit.
Patent
Bidirectional power conversion with multiple control loops
Thomas P. Hack,Robert C. Dobkin +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the integration of the two normally independent power converters results in a bidirectional power converter with nearly half the size, weight, volume, cost and complexity.
Patent
Adaptive output current control for switching circuits
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a system for controlling output current of switching circuitry having an input circuit and an output circuit electrically isolated from each other, based on input voltage, input current and reflected output voltage representing the voltage in the input circuit which corresponds to the output voltage.
Patent
Methods and circuits for frequency modulation that reduce the spectral noise of switching regulators
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present methods and circuits for spread spectrum frequency modulation that reduce peak spectral noise at the outputs or inputs of switching regulators, and modulates the operating frequency of the switching regulator in accordance with a frequency modulation waveform having a shape coordinated to a peak noise amplitude waveform that describes the correlation between the operating frequencies of a switching regulator and the peak noise at a regulator's input or output.
