Abstract
The invention relates to a control system for a voltage converter, said control system comprising:—a set of switches (T1-T2-T3-T4) intended to be connected via output terminals (N1-N2-N3) to a first type of voltage converter or to a second type of voltage converter,—detection means (DET) to generate a detection signal (DS) indicating the type of converter connected,—a circuit (CIR) intended to generate, from said detection signal (DS), control signals (CS1-CS2-CS3-CS4) to control said switches (T1-T2-T3-T4).
Claims5
A control system for a voltage converter, said control system comprising:
- a first switch, a second switch, a third switch and a fourth switch connected in series,
- said first switch having a first output terminal,
- the common terminal of said first switch and said second switch defining a second output terminals,
- the common terminal of said second switch and said third switch being intended to be connected to an input voltage,
- the common terminal of said third switch and said fourth switch defining a third output terminals,
- said fourth switch having another output terminal intended to be connected to a ground potential,
- said first, second and third output terminals being intended to be connected to a voltage converter of a first type or to a voltage converter of a second type,
- detection means connected to said third output terminal, to generate a detection signal indicating said first type or said second type of voltage converter,
- a circuit intended to generate, from a clock signal and said detection signal, control signals intended to control said first, second, third and fourth switches.
