When output-voltage levels grade is " 1 ", owing to there is the current path of redundancy or switch combination on off state to control multiple switch element, therefore, optionally can form the first current path 282 or the second current path 284, flow through with making current selective, thus can optionally the first flying capacitor 246 be charged or be discharged, to obtain the balance of striding capacitance voltage.For example, when the flying capacitor voltage signal 322(of these pulse pattern allocation units 316 reception is also referred to as the first system status signal) there is the first parameter value, and flying capacitor voltage signal 322 is when showing that this first flying capacitor 246 is just being operated under overvoltage situation or when the voltage of this first flying capacitor 246 is greater than the voltage of this second flying capacitor 248, these pulse pattern allocation units 316 can produce this respective switch signal 318 especially, this respective switch signal 318 is made to have the first unit switch state, be discharged to allow this first flying capacitor 246.Or, if the flying capacitor voltage signal 322 that these pulse pattern allocation units 316 receive has the second parameter value, and flying capacitor voltage signal 322 is when showing that this first flying capacitor 246 is just being operated under under voltage situation or when the voltage of this first flying capacitor 246 is less than the voltage of this second flying capacitor 248, these pulse pattern allocation units 316 can produce this respective switch signal 318 especially, make this respective switch signal 318 have the second unit switch state, charged to allow this first flying capacitor 246.Therefore, in the process that this converter 200 normally runs, the voltage of this first flying capacitor 246 and the second flying capacitor 248 can dynamically balance.
Similarly, Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 shows and more specifically selects the switching signal of various combination on off state to drive multiple switch element of this converter 200 thus can obtain the running status schematic diagram that output voltage grade is the converter of "-1 ".When the voltage expecting to obtain "-1 " grade exports, wherein one is chosen as: by switching device 238, and 226,228 is open-minded, by switching device 212,214,216,218,222,224,232,234,236 turn off, and in this case, electric current can flow out from output 262, and along switching device 238, the antiparallel diode be associated with switching device 236, the second flying capacitor 248, two switching device 226,226, and the 3rd current path that negative line 208 is formed (as shown in thick lines in Fig. 6 286) arrives input 204.When the voltage expecting to obtain "-1 " grade exports, another is chosen as: by switching device 222, and 224,234 is open-minded, by switching device 212,214,216,218,226,228,236,238 turn off, therefore, electric current can flow out from output 262, and along by two switching devices 222,224, second flying capacitor 248, switching device 234, the 4th current path (as shown in thick lines in Fig. 7 288) that the antiparallel diode be associated with switching device 232 is formed arrives mid point 252.The corresponding two kinds of unit switch states of multiple switch elements of the converter 200 corresponding with output voltage grade "-1 " are as shown in following table-2:
The unit switch state of table-2 converters
When output-voltage levels grade is "-1 ", owing to there is the current path of redundancy or switch combination on off state to control multiple switch element, therefore, optionally can form the 3rd current path 286 or the 4th current path 288, flow through with making current selective, thus can optionally the second flying capacitor 248 be charged or be discharged, to obtain the balance of striding capacitance voltage.For example, the flying capacitor voltage signal 322 received when these pulse pattern allocation units 316 has the first parameter value, and flying capacitor voltage signal 322 is when showing that this second flying capacitor 246 is just being operated under under voltage situation or when the voltage of this second flying capacitor 248 is less than the voltage of this first flying capacitor 246, these pulse pattern allocation units 316 can produce this respective switch signal 318 especially, make this respective switch signal 318 have the first unit switch state, charged to allow this second flying capacitor 246.Or, if the flying capacitor voltage signal 322 that these pulse pattern allocation units 316 receive has the second parameter value, and flying capacitor voltage signal 322 is when showing that this second flying capacitor 246 is just being operated under overvoltage situation or when the voltage of this second flying capacitor 248 is greater than the voltage of this first flying capacitor 246, these pulse pattern allocation units 316 can produce this respective switch signal 318 especially, make this respective switch signal 318 have the second unit switch state, be discharged to allow this second flying capacitor 248.Therefore, in the process that this converter 200 normally runs, the voltage of this first flying capacitor 246 and the second flying capacitor 248 can dynamically balance.
The active modulation algorithm 300 proposed owing to performing the present invention can balance preferably to the voltage of flying capacitor, therefore, compared to existing technologies, operation parameter can require that relatively low flying capacitor contributes to reducing the holistic cost of electrical conversion systems 100.
