- FIG. 3 depicts a diagram showing the detailed circuit connection of the digital trace pulse width modulate controller in the first embodiment of the present invention; and
- FIG. 4 depicts a diagram showing the detailed circuit connection of the digital trace pulse width modulate controller in a second embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the function of each unit in a first embodiment of the present invention. The present invention is equipped with a digital dynamic trace adjustment pulse width modulate controller, wherein the controller uses the following characteristic such that the time elapses in high level standard is equal to the time elapse in low level standard (namely the duty rate of the
signal phase 22 can be maintained at fifty percent degree) and such that the root mean square of the phase signal output voltage (Vo) 12 of aconverter unit 1 is equal to the root mean square of the reference voltage (Vref) 20. - The digital dynamic trace adjustment pulse width modulate controller of the present invention comprises: a
converter unit 1, wherein theconverter unit 1 comprises at least one input end and at least one output end. The input end is an input channel for a pulse width modulatesignal 32. Through the control of the input pulse width modulatessignal 32, the output end generates an output voltage (Vo) 12 for at least one load to use. The output voltage (Vo) 12 level standard ofconverter unit 1 lies between (but not including) the maximum and the minimum level standard of a reference voltage (Vref) 20 level standard. The controller further comprises acomparator unit 2, wherein thecomparator unit 2 has a positive input end, a negative input end and an output end, wherein the positive input end and the negative input end receive respectively the output voltage (Vo) 12 and the reference voltage (Vref) 20 ofconverter unit 1, while the output end provides aphase signal 22 as an output, wherein the phase signal has two kinds of level standard which includes high level standard and low level standard. - The time elapse of the
phase signal 22 at high level standard is increasing while the output voltage (Vo) 12 is decreasing, and/or the time elapse of thephase signal 22 at low level standard is decreasing while the output voltage (Vo) 12 is increasing. Also the time elapse of thephase signal 22 at high level standard is shortened while the output voltage (Vo) 12 is increasing, and/or the time elapse of thephase signal 22 at low level standard is extending while the output voltage (Vo) 12 is increasing. - The controller further comprises core
digital processing unit 3. Thecore processing unit 3 comprises at least one input end and an output end, wherein the input end receivesphase signal 22 as an input, and output a pulse width modulatesignal 32 to an output end. The pulse width modulatesignal 32 has a high-side level standard and a low-side level standard. The high-side level standard pulse width modulatesignal 32 is able to generate an output voltage (Vo) 12 of theconverter unit 1 to drive load, while the low-side level standard pulse width modulatesignal 32 is able to generate an output voltage (Vo) 12 of theconverter unit 1 but can not drive load. - The
core processing unit 3 receives thephase signal 22 from input end and outputs a pulse width modulatesignal 32 to the output end. It is observed that the time elapsed at high level standard is extended when the output voltage (Vo) 12 is dropping, and/or the time elapse of thephase signal 22 at low level standard is shortened when theoutput voltage 12 is dropping. In this way, the pulse width modulatesignal 32 is changed and the output voltage (Vo) 12 of theconverter unit 1 is raised. Eventually, the time elapse of high level standard ofphase signal 22 is equal to the time elapse of low level standard ofphase signal 22. That is, the duty rate ofphase signal 22 will be maintained at fifty percent degree. - FIG. 2 shows the signal time series of each unit in the first embodiment of the present invention, comprising a digital dynamic trace adjustment pulse width modulate controller. Theoretically, the output end of
converter unit 1 produces an output voltage (Vo) 12 a. Under the case for an ideal design of this device, the output voltage (Vo) 12 a should be kept in a steady voltage value so that it provides for at least one load to use. The output voltage (Vo) 12 a has a ripple characteristic such that the difference between the peak and the trough is only about several micro volt (mV), and can be denoted as b. - Still in this diagram, in
comparator 2, a referenced voltage (Vref) 20 a is input to a negative input end, and an output voltage (Vo) 12 a generated from theconverter unit 1 is input to a positive input end and a phase signal 22 a is generated to the output end ofcomparator unit 2, wherein the phase signal has two kinds of level standards, which includes high and low level standards. It is to be noticed that the voltage level standard of the output voltage (Vo) 12 a of theconverter unit 1 lies between (but not including) the maximum voltage standard and the minimum voltage standard of the referenced voltage 20 a. - Theoretically, the input end of core
digital processing unit 3 receives the phase signal 22 a as an input, and it also outputs a pulse width modulate signal 32 a to the output end. The pulse width modulate signal 32 a has two kinds of level standards, which include high-side level standard and low-side level standard. On high-side level standard pulse width modulate signal 32 a, it is able for theconverter unit 1 to output a voltage 12 a to drive load and, on the other hand, on low-side level standard pulse width modulate signal 32 a, it is able for theconverter unit 1 to output a voltage 12 a but not able to drive load. - Essentially, the load may be changed during the operation process. The change of load results in a variation in output voltage (Vo)12 b, after a short period of time later. In the
comparator unit 1, the reference voltage (Vref) 20 b is input to the negative input end. While the output voltage (Vo) 12 b generated from the output end of theconverter unit 1 is input to a positive input end thus producing a phase signal 22 b in the output end of thecomparator unit 2, the time elapsed in either the high level or the low level will not be equal in a time period. - The present invention comprising digital dynamic trace adjustment pulse width modulate controller is designed and suited for the variation of output voltage (Vo)12 b, using the
core processing unit 3 to receive the phase signal 22 b as an input, and output a pulse width modulate signal 32 b to the output end. It is observed that the time elapsed when phase signal is on high level is increasing when the output voltage 12 b is dropping, and/or the time elapsed when phase signal is on low level is shortening when the output voltage (Vo) 12 b is dropping. In this way, the output voltage (Vo) of theconverter unit 1 is rising, and eventually, the time elapsed of the high level of phase signal 22 b is equal to the time elapsed of the low level of phase signal 22 b. That is, the duty rate of the phase signal 22 b is kept on fifty percent degree. - FIG. 3 is a detailed connection diagram showing the function of each unit of the digital dynamic trace adjustment pulse width modulate controller in the first embodiment. FIG. 4 is a detailed electric current connection diagram showing the function of each unit of the digital dynamic trace adjustment pulse width modulate controller in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention. The main difference is that the original synchronal device drives at most ten (10) amperes, in order to generate twenty (20) amperes in the
converter unit 1. It is required to connect twosynchronal drive devices 14 in parallel. - The second embodiment of the present invention may have the characteristic such that the time elapsed in high level is equal to the time elapsed in low level, and a second characteristic of the present invention is obtained such that the root mean square of the output voltage (Vo) is equal to the root mean square of a reference voltage (Vref)12 b.

Having described the invention in connection with the preferred embodiments, modification will now suggest itself to those skilled in the art. Thus, the invention is not to be limited to these embodiments, but rather the invention is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims, the scope of which should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modification and similar structure.
