Power converter
Power converters are devices that typically transform and/or condition power from one or more power sources to supply power to one or more loads. Electrical power is typically supplied in one of two forms: direct current (DC) power and alternating current (AC) power. There are often times when it is desirable to convert from one form of power to the other form. This is accomplished by using a power converter. Typically, a power converter is used for converting a power into a necessary or desirable power output tailored for a specific application. A power converter can convert power from AC to DC, DC to AC, AC to AC, or DC to DC. In this way, a power converter allows a device that uses one form or level of power to connect to a power source that supplies a different form or level of power. Power converters are widely used in electrical and electronic devices. Certain devices, such as notebook computer, personal digital assistants (PDAs), cellular telephones, and other portable consumer products, require power converters that provide low standby power consumption in light or no load conditions. In one form of power conversion, an alternating current (AC) input voltage is converted to a direct current (DC) output voltage. Such conversions are necessary to power DC devices from conventional AC power sources such as standard wall outlets and the like. DC to AC power converters are commonly used to produce AC power from a DC source, such as a battery. Such DC-to-AC power converters are typically found on boats or utility trucks, where they can be used to power tools, microwave ovens, computers or any other device that requires AC power to operate. A DC-DC converter switches a semiconductor switch device to convert a DC voltage, and conducts feedback control to maintain an output voltage supplied to a load at a certain value. A switched-mode power converter is an electronic power processing circuit that converts an input voltage waveform into an output voltage waveform. Switched-mode power converters are key components in many commercial and military systems for the conversion, control and conditioning of electrical power, and often govern performance and size of the end system. DC to DC switching power converters are commonly used to convert one available DC voltage to one or more other DC voltages. With some conventional DC to DC power converters, the different voltage outputs may be coupled off of a single transformer.
