Abstract

See full text

Techniques for controlling a power converter with a control signal and circuitry configured to translate the control signal into one or more pulse modulated drive signal(s) to operate the power converter. The translation circuitry may receive the control signal, extract frequency information, duty cycle, dead time, and other information from the control signal, and output at least one pulse modulated drive signal, based on the extracted information, to a driving stage that may operate the power converter. The control signal may be a digital signal that includes rising edges and falling edges. The edges of the first type may define the frequency information. The edges of the second type may define other information extracted by the translation circuitry, e.g., duty cycle, dead time and so on. In some examples the power converter may be a resonant power converter.
