Voltage Converter - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240178760 titled 'Voltage Converter

Simplified Explanation

The embodiment voltage converter described in the patent application consists of 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. The controller is responsible for switching the main switch to adjust the voltage of the input terminal and outputting it to the output terminal. Additionally, the controller complements the switching of the first and second synchronous rectification switches without any dead time.

  • DC-DC converter with a transformer, main switch, and synchronous rectification switches
  • Controller for adjusting input terminal voltage and switching output to the output terminal without dead time

Potential Applications
