Phase Shift Modulation-Based Control Of Amplitude Of Ac Voltage Output Produced By Double-Ended Dc-Ac Converter Circuitry For Powering High Voltage Load Such As Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp

View page
US Patent:
7368880, May 6, 2008
Filed:
Jan 31, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/046976
Inventors:
Steven P. Laur - Raleigh NC, US
Zaki Moussaoui - Palm Bay FL, US
Assignee:
Intersil Americas Inc. - Milpitas CA
International Classification:
H05B 41/16
US Classification:
315247, 315224, 315276, 315307
Abstract:
A double-ended, DC-AC converter supplies AC power to a load, such as a cold cathode fluorescent lamp used to back-light a liquid crystal display. First and second converter stages generate respective first and second sinusoidal voltages having the same frequency and amplitude, but having a controlled phase difference therebetween. By employing a voltage controlled delay circuit to control the phase difference between the first and second sinusoidal voltages, the converter is able to vary the amplitude of the composite voltage differential produced across the opposite ends of the load. The converter may be either voltage fed or current fed.

US Classification:
323354, 323351, 307 2, 34082559, 370529
Abstract:
Multiple characteristics of a DC-DC converter, such as its mode of operation (e. g. , either forced continuous conduction mode, or discontinuous conduction mode), and an operational parameter (such as the dead-time between switching times of the output switching devices (upper and lower MOSFETs) of the converter, whose associated driver integrated circuit has a pin usage that leaves only a single pin available for auxiliary purposes, are programmed by a single pin-based digital and analog information multiplexing circuit that couples both digital information and analog information within the same control signal to the driver IC by way of only the one available pin.

Switching Regulator With Balanced Control Configuration With Filtering And Referencing To Eliminate Compensation

View page
US Patent:
8154268, Apr 10, 2012
Filed:
Nov 26, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/324368
Inventors:
Rhys S. A. Philbrick - Cary NC, US
Matthew B. Harris - Raleigh NC, US
Steven P. Laur - Raleigh NC, US
Assignee:
Intersil Americas Inc. - Milpitas CA
International Classification:
G05F 1/565
G05F 1/575
US Classification:
323286, 323282, 323285
Abstract:
A controller for a switching regulator is disclosed including a sense circuit, an error amplifier circuit, a filter and reference circuit, and a comparator circuit. The switching regulator includes a pulse switch circuit coupled to an output inductor for developing an output voltage. The sense circuit provides a sense signal indicative of current through the output inductor. The error amplifier circuit develops an error signal indicative of error of the output voltage. The filter and reference circuit high pass filters the sense signal to provide a filtered sense signal, and references the filtered sense signal and the error signal to a common DC level. The comparator circuit develops a pulse control signal used to control switching of the pulse switch circuit based on comparing the error signal with the filtered sense signal.
