摘要： A control circuit for a switching regulator includes a clock circuit, a pulsewidth modulation (PWM) circuit, and a reduction monitor. The clock circuit provides a clock signal at a variable frequency. The PWM circuit produces a drive signal of at least a first predetermined duration once every period of the clock signal. The reduction monitor controls the clock circuit to reduce the variable frequency in response to a sense signal that indicates that at least one of a voltage and a current is outside a limit during the first predetermined duration of said drive signal.

摘要： A series inverter, high voltage capacitor charging circuit includes a current sensor for sensing the current through the load circuit. The sensed current is used to vary the gating frequency of SCRs and to preclude firing of an SCR pair until another SCR pair is in a stable off condition. The gating of each SCR pair is delayed by an amount of time determined by a control capacitor charging circuit. That charging circuit is inhibited as long as one of the SCRs is conducting and once the load voltage has reached a predetermined level. The time constant of that charging circuit is longer if insufficient reverse bias is applied to an SCR for quick turn-off of the SCR. The current sensing thresholds of common base transistors depend on whether forward or reflective current is being sensed. A series capacitor in the load circuit is discharged prior to a first cycle of current flow from the dc supply.

摘要： A method for mitigating aliasing effects in a single phase power converter and mitigating aliasing effects and inhibiting thermal run-away in a multi-phase power converter at varying load transition rates. A single phase or multi-phase power converter having an on-time is provided and the frequency of the power converter is adjusted so that a load step period and the on time of the single phase power converter are in a temporal relationship. Alternatively, a load step rate is inhibited from locking onto a phase current of the single phase power converter by suspending an oscillator signal. In accordance with another alternative, a load step rate is inhibited from locking onto a phase current of the single phase power converter by suspending an oscillator signal and dithering an input signal to the oscillator.

摘要： A method of forming a power supply timing controller circuit (10, 80, 90) includes forming a bi-directional synchronization oscillator controller (11, 81, 91) to oscillate at an internal frequency. The bi-directional synchronization oscillator controller (11, 81, 91) receives an external sync signal, suspends the oscillation, begins operating at the forced frequency of the external sync signal, and begins a delay period. If another external sync signal is not received before the end of the delay period, the controller resets and once again begins oscillating at the internal frequency.
