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 patent application is a DC-DC converter with a controller that adjusts the voltage of the input terminal and outputs it to the output terminal. The converter includes a transformer, a main switch connected to the input terminal and the transformer, and first and second synchronous rectification switches connected to the output terminal and the transformer. The controller is responsible for switching the main switch to adjust the voltage and complementarily switching the rectification switches without any dead time.

  • The DC-DC converter includes a transformer, a main switch, and synchronous rectification switches.
  • The controller adjusts the voltage of the input terminal and outputs it to the output terminal.
  • The main switch is switched by the controller to regulate the voltage.
  • The rectification switches are complementarily switched without any dead time.
