Voltage Converter - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18180935 titled 'Voltage Converter
Simplified Explanation
The embodiment voltage converter described in the abstract is a DC-DC converter with a controller that adjusts the voltage of the input terminal and outputs it to the output terminal. The controller switches the main switch and the synchronous rectification switches without any dead time.
- DC-DC converter with a transformer, main switch, and synchronous rectification switches
- Controller to adjust input voltage and switch main switch and rectification switches
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in:
- Power supplies
- Battery charging systems
Problems Solved
- Efficient voltage conversion
- Reduced energy loss
Benefits
- Improved energy efficiency
- Precise voltage control
Potential Commercial Applications
"Voltage Converter Technology for Energy-Efficient Power Supplies"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art is the use of traditional DC-DC converters with fixed voltage outputs.
Unanswered Questions
How does the controller determine when to switch the main switch and rectification switches?
The controller likely uses feedback mechanisms to monitor the voltage levels and adjust the switching accordingly.
What is the expected lifespan of this voltage converter technology?
The lifespan would depend on factors such as usage conditions and quality of components used in the converter. Regular maintenance and monitoring could help extend the lifespan.
Original Abstract Submitted
An embodiment voltage converter includes a DC-DC converter and a controller. The DC-DC converter includes a transformer, a main switch connected to an input terminal and the transformer, and first and second synchronous rectification switches connected to an output terminal and the transformer, and the controller is configured to switch the main switch so that the DC-DC converter adjusts a voltage of the input terminal and outputs the voltage to the output terminal and to complementarily switch the first and second synchronous rectification switches without dead time.
