A voltage stabilizer includes the series combination of a series regulator element and inductor and an inverter circuit connected across a direct voltage supply. The series regulator is controlled by a comparator which compares the stabilized output voltage with a reference voltage. A diode energized in the forward direction by inductive turn-off voltage appearing on the inductor is connected in shunt with the series combination of inductor and inverter circuit. A series combination of a diode energized in the forward direction by the inductive turn-off voltages appearing on the inductor and the parallel combination of a resistor and a capacitor may be connected in shunt with the input of the inverter circuit. The inverter may be of the push-pull parallel or bridge type. The inverter output may be inductively coupled with the series control element.
A switching regulator includes a series circuit of a resistor, a diode and a speed-up capacitor, connected in parallel to a voltage dividing resistor of a voltage dividing resistor circuit for output voltage detection, which is connected to an output terminal of the switching regulator.
A regulated DC to DC power supply of reduced complexity which delivers increased power to the load. The improved circuitry substitutes an inductor for the usual inductor-capacitor-switching transistor arrangements, and drives the inverter circuitry so that the on-times of opposite inverter transistors overlap.
In a square wave generator for the supply of power to a plurality of electric units the advantages of current controlled and voltage controlled generators may be combined by the provision of two output transformers (T1 and T2) whose primary windings are connected in parallel through diodes (D5 and D6), which in case of overloading are blocked by the voltage of a capacitor which itself is connected through a diode which is also blocked by said voltage.
Circuit arrangement for the protection of a component, particularly a switching semiconductor, which is series connected to a voltage source via an inductor, against an overcurrent due to magnetic saturation of the inductor, a second inductor in the series circuit, which limits the overcurrent during the response time of an excess current cutoff and whose magnetizing current is roughly linear over time, at least during the unsaturated state of the first inductor, and does not exceed the maximum permissible current value for the component to be protected during the entire response time.
In a voltage conversion circuit, comprising a source of input DC voltage, an input voltage switching circuit and a transformer having a primary winding coupled in series with the switching circuit and input DC voltage for periodically receiving DC voltage thereat and having a secondary winding connected to a DC output circuit for producing a DC output voltage of a given polarity, the transformer primary normally undesirably produces a switching circuit damaging voltage spike of a polarity opposite the given polarity upon the voltage being removed from the transformer primary by the switching circuit. A voltage suppression circuit is responsive to the voltage polarity reversal in the transformer primary, which occurs when the input voltage is removed therefrom for storing the energy which would otherwise produce the voltage spike. In response to the switching circuit thereafter applying the DC input voltage to the transformer primary, the stored energy is then connected to the DC output circuit to add energy thereto.
