Abstract
An electronic converter (1) comprises a pair of input terminals (IN+, IN−) particularly suitable to be connected to a power supply unit (10) with a constant electric current output, and a pair of output terminals (OUT+, OUT−) particularly suitable to be connected to an electrical load (5). The electronic converter (1) further comprises an electric current conversion stage (2) connected to said input terminals (IN+, IN−) and to said output terminals (OUT+, OUT−), and a controller (3) connected to the electric current conversion stage (2) and particularly suitable to control the electrical energy output from the electronic converter (1).
Claims11
An electronic converter comprising:
- a pair of input terminals particularly suitable to be connected to a power supply unit with a constant electric current output, and
- a pair of output terminals particularly suitable to be connected to an electrical load (5),
- an electric current conversion stage connected to said input terminals and to said output terminals, the electric current conversion stage comprising a switching converter circuit, and
- a controller connected to the electric current conversion stage and particularly suitable to control the electrical energy output from the converter, wherein the switching converter circuit comprises a measurement resistor connected to an output terminal, and
- wherein the controller comprises:
- a pair of input terminals connected to a differential amplifier block for measuring a voltage at the ends of the measurement resistor proportional to an electric current output from the switching converter circuit,
- a pair of control terminals,
- a control voltage generator block connected to the switching converter circuit through the pair of control terminals, and arranged for providing thereto a control voltage, based on said measured voltage, controlling the electric current output, and
- a receiving block comprising a communication interface for receiving a control signal via at least one between radiofrequency and a cable, and arranged for providing a signal to the control voltage generator block for managing the operation thereof in order to remotely controlling the electric current output from the electronic converter.
