Abstract
An apparatus for power conversion comprises a voltage transformation element, a regulating element, and a controller; wherein, a period of the voltage transformation element is equal to a product of a coefficient and a period of the regulating circuit, and wherein the coefficient is selected from a group consisting of a positive integer and a reciprocal of said integer.
Claims23
An apparatus for power conversion, said apparatus comprising a voltage transformation element, a regulating element, and a controller;
- wherein, a period of the voltage transformation element is equal to a product of a coefficient and a period of the regulating circuit, wherein said coefficient is selected from a group consisting of a positive integer and a reciprocal of said integer.
An apparatus for power conversion, said apparatus comprising a first element configured to accept an input signal having a first voltage and to output an intermediate signal having a second voltage, a second element configured to receive the intermediate signal from the first element and to output an output signal having a third voltage, wherein the first element is selected from a group consisting of a voltage transformation element and a regulating element, and said second element is a regulating element when the first element is a voltage transformation element and a voltage transformation element otherwise;
- and a controller configured to control a period of the voltage transformation element and a period of the regulating element, the controller being configured to synchronize the period of the voltage transformation element with a product of a coefficient and the period of the regulating element, wherein the coefficient is selected from a group consisting of a positive integer and a reciprocal of the integer.
