  2. Pulse-frequency modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-frequency_modulation

    PFM mode operation allows the switching frequency to be reduced and for a control method that prevents the inductor current from dropping below zero during light loads. Rather than applying square pulses of varying widths to the inductor, square pulse trains with a fixed 50% duty cycle are used to charge the inductor to a predefined current ...

  3. Flyback converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyback_converter

    The flyback converter is an isolated power converter. The two prevailing control schemes are voltage mode control and current mode control. In the majority of cases current mode control needs to be dominant for stability during operation. Both modes require a signal related to the output voltage. There are three common ways to generate this ...

  4. Pre-charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-charge

    The functional requirement of the high voltage pre-charge circuit is to minimize the peak current out from the power source by slowing down the dV/dT of the input power voltage such that a new "pre-charge mode" is created. The inductive loads on the distribution system must be switched off during the pre-charge mode, due to the dI/dT dependency ...

  5. Current injection technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_injection_technique

    In summary, current injection technique makes it possible to use devices with low forward voltage drop for high frequency applications. This also imply cheaper cost of devices as less processing steps are required during the manufacturing stages where the need of carrier lifetime control techniques are reduced.

  6. Buck converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_converter

    By integrating Idt (= dQ ; as I = dQ/dt, C = Q/V so dV = dQ/C) under the output current waveform through writing output ripple voltage as dV = Idt/C we integrate the area above the axis to get the peak-to-peak ripple voltage as: ΔV = ΔI T/8C (where ΔI is the peak-to-peak ripple current and T is the time period of ripple. A full explanation ...

  7. Maximum power point tracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_point_tracking

    When directly connecting a load to cell, the operating point of the panel is rarely at peak power. The impedance seen by the panel determines its operating point. Setting the impedance correctly achieves peak power. Since panels are DC devices, DC-DC converters transform the impedance of one circuit (source) to the other circuit (load ...

  8. Ćuk converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ćuk_converter

    Charging a capacitor with a current source (the inductor) prevents resistive current limiting and its associated energy loss. As with other converters ( buck converter , boost converter , buck–boost converter ) the Ćuk converter can operate in either continuous or discontinuous current mode.

  9. Current limiting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_limiting

    A switched-mode power supply operating at the current limit with the output short-circuited does not have increased power dissipation in the power transistor(s), so foldback current limiting is an application feature only rather than one that also prevents a load fault from also destroying the power supply. The safety benefit of reducing the ...
