摘要： A power converter with a modular, compact architecture with a reduced component count is disclosed. The power converter includes parallel power conversion sections and utilizes one or more mutual coupling input inductors with multiple windings. The windings are connected in pairs in a differential mode between a power source and the parallel power conversion sections. Each power conversion section receives the same input voltage and generates the same output voltage. As a result of the winding connections and the same input and output voltages, the input of the power converter exhibits current balancing and sharing between each branch of the parallel configuration, allowing a single current sensor to provide a measurement of the current and a single controller to control operation of each of the power conversion sections.

摘要： In an X-ray generator an X-ray tube includes an anode and a cathode and is energized with at least a first high voltage potential. A dynamic damper with a frequency dependent impedance is interposed between the X-ray tube and a source of the high voltage potential. The impedance of the dynamic damper increases with an increase in frequency associated with tube-spit. In an X-ray generator with resonant switching to provide a first kV level and a second kV level to the X-ray tube, the impedance of the dynamic damper is low at the operational frequency of the resonant switch to promote energy recovery when the resonant switch operates to provide a first kV level to the X-ray tube.

摘要： A system for controlling a multilevel soft switching power converter including a DC bus, a pair of switching arms, and a controller is disclosed. The DC bus has a positive rail and a negative rail operable to have a voltage potential present across the DC bus. Each switching arm is connected between the positive rail and the negative rail and includes four soft switches. Each soft switch is connected between the positive rail, the negative rail, or one of three intermediate connections between the positive and negative rails. Each soft switch is also controlled by a gating signal. A flying capacitor is connected between the first intermediate connection and the third intermediate connection and an output terminal is connected at the second intermediate connection of each switching arm. A controller is operable to generate each of the gating signals utilizing at least three control routines.
