Title: Young Kook Ahn: Innovator in Power Conversion Technology
Introduction
Young Kook Ahn is a prominent inventor based in Daejeon, South Korea. He has made significant contributions to the field of power conversion technology, holding a total of 4 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and functionality of power management systems.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a Buck-boost DC/DC converter. This invention provides a method for sensing a peak current and estimating a turn-off time of a switch using the peak to perform a discontinuous current mode (DCM) operation. The buck-boost DC/DC converter includes a first control circuit that builds up a current in an inductor during a specific time period of a switching cycle. Additionally, a sensing circuit generates a sampling value to estimate the duration of a second time period. A second control circuit then outputs the current built up in the inductor during this estimated time period.
Another notable patent is related to a power converting device, power management integrated circuit, and method for controlling a power converting device. This invention allows for the sequential activation of multiple power conversion modules based on the load power. It optimizes the efficiency of already activated modules while providing increased load power through newly activated modules.
