摘要： A plurality of low-voltage, series-connected input dc-dc converters provide the input to a low-frequency, high-voltage dc-ac output bridge converter suitable for driving a gradient coil in an MRI system. The relatively low-voltage, series-connected dc-dc converters, or choppers, control the gradient coil current, while the dc-ac converter bridge steers the current to the proper coil polarity. A binary weighting of the voltage ratings of the input choppers results in the lowest voltage unit doing most of the high-frequency switching. Such an amplifier configuration is modular and allows for different gradient coil requirements to be met with a common approach by applying a predetermined number of choppers and bridges.
摘要翻译：多个低压，串联连接的输入dc-dc转换器将输入提供给适用于驱动MRI系统中的梯度线圈的低频，高压直流交流输出桥式转换器。相对低压，串联连接的dc-dc转换器或斩波器控制梯度线圈电流，而dc-ac转换器桥将电流转向正确的线圈极性。输入斩波器的额定电压的二进制加权导致最低电压单元进行大部分高频开关。这种放大器配置是模块化的并且通过应用预定数量的斩波器和桥接器可以通过常见的方法来满足不同的梯度线圈要求。

摘要： A low noise, multiple output power supply circuit featuring a plurality of efficient linear regulators comprises a transformer having a primary circuit with a primary transformer input winding and a plurality of secondary circuits. Each secondary circuit has a secondary transformer output winding having the same number of turns of secondary windings. A saturable reactor core is placed in series with at least one selected output winding of at least one selected secondary circuit to subtract a small amount of average voltage, volt-seconds, from the output voltage of the selected output winding to allow different rectified DC voltages to be obtained from different output windings which have the same number of turns.

摘要： A low-ripple power supply includes a storage capacitor coupled across load terminals, and an inductor connected to a source of voltage including a varying or pulsatory component and a direct component, for causing a flow of current to said capacitor through the inductor. The varying component of the inductor current flowing in the capacitor results in ripple across the load. A winding is coupled to the inductor for generating a surrogate of the varying inductor current. The surrogate current is added to the inductor current to cancel or reduce the magnitude of the varying current component. This cancellation effectively reduces the varying current component flowing in the storage capacitor, which in turn reduces the ripple appearing across the load terminals.(121)

摘要： A high current inductor is constructed using two single-sided or double-sided printed circuit boards having patterned copper traces thereon, a magnetic toroidal core, and multiple interconnecting wires extending between the boards. Multiple turns for the inductor are created by suitably configuring the copper traces on the printed circuit boards. Vias are employed on each circuit board for electrically interconnecting the boards to each other. Multiple thick, solid-gauge wires are situated in the vias in order to provide a very large copper area, thus providing high current carrying capability.
