Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to high frequency resonant DC-DC converters, and more particularly, to an improved voltage variable capacitor or varactor for use in regulating such high frequency resonant DC-DC converters.
- variable capacitance for regulation is created using a semiconductor varactor diode that is reverse-biased to create a variable "capacitor”. This device must remain reverse- biased to remain functional in the circuit and to give a 2: 1 change of capacitance.
- the semiconductor varactor diode In this converter, the semiconductor varactor diode must be reverse-biased to at least 70 volts, and as high as 100 volts, to remain a variable capacitor in the circuit.
- This high voltage control bias results in the need for an expensive Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), and additional circuitry in the DC-DC converter.
- ASIC Application Specific Integrated Circuit
- the use of the high voltage biased varactor semiconductor diode results in increased cost and size of the DC-DC converter.
- the present invention is a new approach for providing fixed frequency regulation of a resonant converter.
- the heart of the invention is the use of a high power, voltage variable dielectric capacitor (or ferroelectric voltage variable dielectric capacitor) as a control element in the regulation circuit.
- This device combined with a feedback and control circuit, serves to actively tune the resonant network of the converter and thereby modulate power delivered to a load.
- the feedback circuit senses the converter output voltage and generates an appropriate control signal to adjust the capacitance as necessary to regulate the output voltage.
- the present invention provides for a regulating apparatus for use in a regulation circuit.
- the regulating apparatus comprises a voltage variable dielectric capacitor which is preferably a ferroelectric capacitor.
- the voltage variable dielectric capacitor comprises a substrate having an electrode formed thereon.
- a dielectric material is disposed on the substrate that preferably comprises a crystallized ceramic material.
- the ceramic material may preferably be made of a mixture of decomposed thermally-treated barium, strontium, and titanium metal organic salts.
- a top electrode is disposed on top of the crystallized ceramic material.
- a precursor solution of soluble barium, strontium, and titanium metal organic salts are dissolved in appropriate solvent and at proper concentration and applied to a substrate having an electrode formed thereon.
- the solvents are removed by drying and the process is repeated until the desired thickness of the dielectric material is deposited.
- the coated electroded substrate is then fired at elevated temperature to remove or decompose the organic portion and crystallize the ceramic.
- a top electrode is then applied to the ceramic and the capacitor is completed.
- the capacitor is then attached to the high frequency power converter by wire bonding or the like.
- the capacitor shows the expected variable capacitance with applied voltage.

- Vcc unregulated source voltage
- the sinusoidal waveform is transformed in amplitude (increased or decreased) and impedance matched using an impedance matching and isolation network 12 (that includes the voltage variable dielectric varactor 16) and a rectifier/filter 13.
- the rectifier/filter 13 converts the sinusoidal power waveform back to DC and filters residual noise from the power waveform.
- the output of the DC-DC converter 10 is sensed by an error amplifier 14 and compared with a reference voltage to generate an error signal.
- the error signal is amplified by a driver 15 which generates a variable bias necessary to control a voltage variable dielectric varactor 16.
- the varactor 16 is an integral element of the impedance matching and isolation network 12. By modulating the value of the capacitance of the voltage variable dielectric varactor 16, the transfer function of the impedance matching and isolation network 12 is adjusted. By adjusting the transfer function, the amplitude of the power waveform passing through the impedance matching and isolation network 12 is varied. The output voltage from the DC-DC converter 10 is directly proportional to the amplitude of the sinusoidal power waveform passing through the impedance matching and isolation network 12. Thus, by modulating the value of the capacitance of the varactor 16, adjustment of the output voltage in response to variations of the input voltage and output load is accomplished.

- the sampled signal passes through a feedback loop comprising an error amplifier 14, driver 15, and fourth inductor (L 4 ) where it is used to control the value of the voltage variable dielectric varactor 16.
- the varactor (V ) in conjunction with the second inductor (L 2 ) forms a variable inductance.
- This variable inductance creates in conjunction with the second capacitor (C 2 ) a variable capacitance. It is the ratio of the first capacitor (Ci) and the effective capacitance (C 2 ) that results in the impedance transformation.
