    • A power control system includes a current sense resistor located on an output side of a switching power converter. By locating the current sense resistor on the output side of the switching power converter, the current sense resistor conducts a sense current when a control switch of the switching power converter is nonconductive. Since a duty cycle of the control switch is larger for a low input voltage than for a higher input voltage, the current sense resistor conducts current for a shorter time duration for low input voltages than for higher input voltages. Thus, the root mean square (RMS) of a sense current in the current sense resistor and, thus, power dissipation by the current sense resistor, is lower during low input voltages than power dissipation in conventionally located current sense resistors. The RMS of the sense current is approximately constant across a full range of input voltages.
    • 功率控制系统包括位于开关功率转换器的输出侧的电流检测电阻器。 通过在开关电源转换器的输出侧定位电流检测电阻器,当开关电源转换器的控制开关不导通时,电流检测电阻器传导检测电流。 由于控制开关的占空比对于低输入电压而言比对于较高的输入电压较大,所以电流检测电阻器对于低输入电压而言,对于较高的输入电压而言,传导电流较短的持续时间。 因此,电流检测电阻器中的感测电流的均方根(RMS)以及电流检测电阻器的功率耗散在低输入电压期间比传统定位的电流检测电阻器中的功耗更低。 感测电流的RMS在整个输入电压范围内大致恒定。

    • A power control system includes a transformer and a controller regulates a current on a secondary-side of the transformer based on a primary-side signal value. In at least one embodiment, the secondary-side current is a current out of a filter coupled to a rectifier and the secondary-side of the transformer and into a load. In at least one embodiment, the primary-side signal value is a sample of a current in the primary-side windings of the transformer. In at least one embodiment, the primary- side signal value represents a sample value of a primary-side transformer current. Proper timing of sampling the primary-side signal value substantially eliminates contributions of a transformer magnetizing current from the primary-side transformer current sample. Sampling the primary-side signal value when contributions of the transformer magnetizing current are substantially eliminated allows at least an average of the secondary-side current to be determined from the primary-side signal value.
    • 功率控制系统包括变压器和控制器,该控制器基于初级侧信号值调节变压器的次级侧上的电流。 在至少一个实施例中,次级侧电流是耦合到整流器和变压器的次级侧并进入负载的滤波器中的电流。 在至少一个实施例中,初级侧信号值是变压器的初级侧绕组中电流的样本。 在至少一个实施例中,初级侧信号值表示初级侧变压器电流的样本值。 对初级侧信号值进行采样的正确时间基本上消除了来自初级侧变压器电流采样的变压器磁化电流的贡献。 当变压器磁化电流的贡献基本消除时对初级侧信号值进行采样允许从初级侧信号值至少确定次级侧电流的平均值。

    • The analog-to-digital (ADC) delta sigma modulators in the signal processing systems described utilize comparator number reduction techniques to improve a delta sigma modulator quantizer. The delta sigma modulator generates one quantization output signal per delta sigma modulator output cycle. A quantizer of the delta sigma modulator includes one or more comparators, that each makes at least two comparisons per delta sigma modulator output cycle. The one or more comparators compare a quantizer input signal against one or more thresholds. A successive reference generator determines the one or more thresholds for the one or more comparators wherein each of the one or more thresholds during a later one of the at least two comparisons is in conformity with results of an earlier one of the at least two comparisons. Redundant and other iterative comparison techniques and threshold generation techniques are used to efficiently reduce the number of comparators in the quantizer while maintaining accuracy.
