Application: Converter apparatus and control method (Patent ID: US20240106315A1)
The patent filed by Murata Manufacturing Co Ltd. describes a method for controlling a converter apparatus that operates based on frequency modulation control signals. The method involves determining updated periods for the control signals based on the output, calculating phase shifts between the signals, and adjusting the period of each signal based on the phase shift relative to a target phase shift. If the phase shift deviates beyond a threshold, the period of the control signal is adjusted by a predetermined amplitude. The method ensures efficient operation of the converter apparatus by maintaining the phase relationship between the control signals within specified limits.
Additionally, the patent includes claims detailing specific aspects of the method, such as adjusting the period of the first control signal before determining the phase shift, determining the period of the second control signal based on the direction of the phase shift towards the target phase shift, and converting negative phase differences to positive values by adding an updated period. The claims also cover variations in the predetermined amplitude, the use of separate timers for generating the control signals, and the implementation of the method in a converter apparatus with multiple switching converters. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive approach to controlling converter apparatuses efficiently and effectively through precise adjustment of frequency modulation control signals based on phase relationships.
