ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18094769 titled 'ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic apparatus that includes a power factor correction (PFC) circuit and a control circuit. The PFC circuit consists of inductor parts, switches, and an output part. The control circuit controls the operation of the PFC circuit by applying switch on/off signals to the switches based on the magnitude of the input voltage.
- The electronic apparatus includes a power factor correction (PFC) circuit and a control circuit.
- The PFC circuit has inductor parts and switches connected in series.
- The control circuit applies switch on/off signals to the switches.
- The control circuit selectively applies switch on/off signals to different switches based on the magnitude of the input voltage.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Power factor correction in electronic devices and appliances.
- Energy-efficient power supply systems.
- Power management in renewable energy systems.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Improves power factor, which reduces energy consumption and improves efficiency.
- Helps comply with power quality standards and regulations.
- Minimizes harmonic distortion in power systems.
Benefits of this technology:
- Reduces energy consumption and lowers electricity bills.
- Improves power quality and reliability.
- Enables efficient utilization of renewable energy sources.
Original Abstract Submitted
The electronic apparatus including a power factor correction (PFC) circuit and a control circuit configured to control an operation of the PFC circuit is provided. The PFC circuit includes a first inductor part connected to one end of an AC voltage part and a first switch connected to a first inductor in series; a second inductor part connected to another end of the AC voltage part and a second switch connected to a second inductor in series; an output part connected to the first inductor part and the second inductor part; and a switching part, and the control circuit identically applies a switch on/off signal to the first switch and the second switch, and selectively applies a switch on/off signal to the third switch or the fourth switch based on a magnitude of an input voltage input through the AC voltage part.
