Veta power converter

For use with a power converter having a modulator, a controller and a method of operating the same. In one embodiment, the controller includes: (1) signal processing circuitry that develops a unified control signal based on an output voltage, an output current and a current sharing signal of the power converter and (2) compensation circuitry, coupled to the signal processing circuitry, that compares the unified control signal with a reference signal to develop a modulator control signal for the modulator.

Integrated voltage and current mode controller for a power converter and

An interface circuit for, and method of, allowing first and second power converter systems to function in parallel and a power supply incorporating the controller or the method. In one embodiment, the interface circuit includes: (1) a set point selection circuit, coupled to first and second converter controllers of the first and second power converter systems, respectively, that selects one of the first and second power converter systems to provide a global set point voltage signal and (2) a bus, coupled to the set point selection circuit, that conveys the global set point voltage signal to the first and second power converter systems, the set point selection circuit isolating a nonselected one of the first and second converter controllers from the bus.

System and method for paralleling power converter systems and power

A boost converter module, a method of manufacturing the module and a power converter employing one or more of the same. In one embodiment, the boost converter module includes: (1) a power switch, (2) first and second snubber diodes series-coupled between the power switch and a converter output, (3) a snubber capacitor and a boost diode series-coupled across the second snubber diode and (4) an encapsulant substantially surrounding the power switch, the first and second snubber diodes, the snubber capacitor and the boost diode to join the power switch, the first and second snubber diodes, the snubber capacitor and the boost diode into an integrated package, the integrated package having: (4a) a control input coupled to the power switch, (4b) a power input coupled to the power switch, (4c) a snubber inductor input, coupled to a node between the snubber capacitor and the boost diode and (4d) a power output coupled to the converter output.
