NEW CONFIGURATIONS DELIVERING VARIABLE ENERGY PORTIONS IN POWER ELECTRONICS

Abstract

A special technique has recently been developed in the field of communication engineering. In the frame of this new technique the resistance in integrated circuits is realized by switched condenser. The paper first presents the basic idea of the switched condenser. The objective of the paper is to describe the application possibilities of the switched-condenser concept in power electronics. It derives some new configurations, analyses their steady-state and transient-state behaviour and discusses their adaptation to some of the energy conversion job. One of the main features of the new configurations is that they operate periodically with high frequency and the energy portion delivered in one cycle towards the energy receiving end is proportional to the square of the voltage developed across the sending terminals.
