CHARGING CIRCUIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18528468 titled 'CHARGING CIRCUIT

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system with three switches that control the connection of a coil and a capacitor in a series circuit to different voltage terminals. The controller switches between three modes to regulate the flow of power through the circuit.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Three-switch system for controlling power flow in a series circuit
  • Modes include configurations where different switches are open or closed
  • Controller manages the switching between modes to regulate power flow

Potential Applications: This technology could be used in various electronic devices that require precise control over power flow, such as voltage regulators or power supplies.

Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for efficient and controlled power distribution in electronic circuits.

Benefits:

  • Precise control over power flow
  • Efficient energy distribution
  • Versatile applications in electronic devices

Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include voltage regulators, power supplies, and other electronic devices that require controlled power distribution.

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the three-switch system improve power distribution in electronic circuits? 2. What are the potential limitations of this technology in high-power applications?

Frequently Updated Research: There may be ongoing research in the field of power distribution and control in electronic circuits that could further enhance the capabilities of this technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

A first switch connects a series circuit made up of a coil and a third capacitor between a high-voltage terminal and an intermediate-voltage terminal. A second switch connects the series circuit between the intermediate-voltage terminal and a low-voltage terminal. A third switch connects the series circuit with a power supply. A controller switches a mode among the following three modes. In a first mode, the first switch is closed, and the second switch and the third switch are open. In a second mode, the second switch is closed, and the first switch and the third switch are open. In a third mode, the third switch is closed, and the first switch and the second switch are open. The controller controls the switches such that the mode is repeated in order of the third mode, the first mode, the third mode, and the second mode.
