Abstract
A circuit for, and method of, changing transient response characteristics of a DC/DC converter module having an output rail pin and a trim pin and a distributed power conversion system incorporating the system or the method. In one embodiment, the system includes a reactive component coupled to the output rail pin and the trim pin of the DC/DC converter module and configured to interact with at least one network internal to the DC/DC converter module to change the transient response characteristics.
Claims21
A circuit for changing transient response characteristics of a DC/DC converter module having an output rail pin and a trim pin, comprising:
- a reactive component coupled to said output rail pin and said trim pin of said DC/DC converter module and configured to interact with at least one network internal to said DC/DC converter module to change said transient response characteristics.
A method of changing transient response characteristics of a DC/DC converter module having an output rail pin and a trim pin, comprising:
- coupling a reactive component to said output rail pin and said trim pin of said DC/DC converter module;
- and
- causing said reactive component to interact with at least one network internal to said DC/DC converter module to change said transient response characteristics.
A distributed power conversion system, comprising:
- a central converter;
- a DC power distribution bus coupled to an output of said central converter;
- and
- a plurality of DC/DC converter modules coupled to said DC power distribution bus, each of said plurality of DC/DC converter modules having an output rail pin, a trim pin and a circuit for changing transient response characteristics of said each of said DC/DC converter modules, said circuit including:
- a reactive component coupled to said output rail pin and said trim pin of said each of said DC/DC converter modules and configured to interact with at least one network internal to said each of said DC/DC converter modules to change said transient response characteristics.
