Multi-Level, Jittering, DC to AC Inverter with Low Pass Filter - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240048045 titled 'Multi-Level, Jittering, DC to AC Inverter with Low Pass Filter
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for a DC to AC inverter used in solar energy installations. The inverter is designed to convert DC input power into a desired AC output power waveform. It utilizes multilevel circuitry to define different voltage levels, with each level having lower and upper voltage values. A jittering controller is used to generate a preliminary AC waveform by jittering between the lower and upper voltage values within each level. A low pass filter is then employed to remove the jittering and provide a smooth output AC waveform.

Original Abstract Submitted
a dc to ac inverter for solar energy installations is configured to convert dc input power at a first voltage to a desired ac output power waveform. the inverter includes multilevel circuitry configured to define a plurality of different levels, wherein each level is defined by lower and upper voltage values; a jittering controller configured to jitter between the lower and upper voltage values in each level in order to generate a preliminary ac waveform by producing waveform values between the lower and upper voltage values within each level; and a low pass filter configured to filter the preliminary ac waveform to remove the jittering in order to provide a smooth output ac waveform.
