Abstract

See full text

An AC to DC converter comprises a bridge rectifier followed by a boost circuit. The boost circuit includes an inductor, diode and load capacitor in series and a shunting switch connected to shunt the diode and load capacitor. The control circuit for switching the shunting switch comprises a differential circuit, a multiplier and a duty cycle generator in a feedback loop which maintains a constant output voltage on the capacitor. To eliminate the response to ripple on the output voltage, the differential circuit does not respond to voltages within a dead band.
