Title: Innovations of Tokio Kobayashi
Introduction
Tokio Kobayashi is a notable inventor based in Kanagawa, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of power supply devices, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative approach to electrical engineering.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a power supply device that features a pulse width control circuit. This circuit controls the voltage converting operation of a voltage converting circuit by adjusting the pulse width. Additionally, it includes a momentary interruption detecting circuit that identifies changes in output voltage during brief interruptions. Another important aspect of this patent is the full short-circuit detecting circuit, which detects changes in output voltage during short circuits. The short-circuit control circuit halts the pulse width changing control process after detecting a momentary interruption or a full short circuit.
Another significant patent by Kobayashi is a control circuit apparatus and power supply circuit control method. In this invention, a microcomputer commands a control IC to operate first and second loads. The control IC manages the on-state of two DC/DC converters to supply power to these loads. The first DC/DC converter converts an input voltage from 8.4V to 1.5V for a constant current circuit. This circuit calculates the load current and compares it to the optimal conversion efficiency of the first DC/DC converter. Depending on the load current, it either supplies surplus power to a charging battery or receives deficient power from it.
