SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VALLEY SWITCHING IN PULSED POWER CONVERTER Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC H02M3/156 H02M3/335 H05B37/02 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a controller configured to generate a control signal. Technical result is achieved by reducing the switching period below the minimum switching period; the controller increases the switching period by a ringing period of a voltage of the switch and increases the peak current to compensate for the increase of the switching period in order to maintain the regulated current, and if the peak current increases above a maximum peak current, the controller decreases the switching period by a ringing period of the voltage of the switch and decreases the peak current to compensate for the decrease of the switching period in order to maintain the regulated current, wherein ringing period of the voltage of the switch comprises a period of resonant ringing of the voltage of the switch.

EFFECT: technical result is enabling generation of a control signal for activating and deactivating the switch of a pulsed power converter in order to control the switching period and the peak current of the pulsed power converter to maintain the controlled current of the pulsed power converter at a given current level.
