Switched-mode power supplies (SMPSs) and their control methods for radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers in battery-powered wireless transmitter devices involve a Boost-type SMPS and a Buck-type SMPS in cascade connection which are controlled so that high efficiency is maintained for various loads and transmission power levels. The Boost SMPS and the Buck SMPS can be controlled based on the mode of operation of the transmitter, such as the actual battery voltage, the needed output power, the selected frequency band, the selected RF power amplifier (PA), the selected modulation method of the transmission signal, and/or the selected PA voltage control method, such as the envelope elimination and restoration (EER) technique, the envelope tracking (ET) technique, or the power-level tracking (PT) technique.

An array stimulator has a plurality of electrodes in an array (22), the electrodes forming a plurality of electrode pairs, and a signal generator (18) for generating signals to the electrodes so as to generate electrical pulse in a patient to which the stimulator has been applied either transcutaneously or by implantation. Those electrical pulses form a composite pulse in the patient which stimulates the nervous system of the patient. The composite pulse has a duration between 4 μs and 1500 μs and a maximum voltage between 2V and 50V when the stimulator is implanted, and 15V to 500V when applied transcutaneously. The electrical pulses themselves are significantly shorter duration than the composite pulse, so they stimulate the nervous system of the patient much less than the composite pulse or not at all.

A switching power converter detects low load conditions based on the ratio of a first peak current value for peak current switching in constant voltage regulation mode to a second peak current value for peak current switching in constant current regulation mode. The power supply load is considered to have a low load if the ratio is lower than a predetermined threshold. Once a low load condition is detected, the switching frequency of the switching power converter is reduced to a level that minimizes switching loss in the power converter. In addition, the switching power converter also adjusts the switching frequency according to the sensed input line voltage. An offset is added to the switching period to reduce the switching frequency of the switching power converter, as the input line voltage is increased.

An audio switching power amplifier having an output pulse voltage selected in conformity with an indication of the output signal amplitude provides lower electromagnetic interference (EMI) in class-D amplifier implementations, in particular, in inductor-less designs. The output pulse voltage may be selected by providing multiple switching circuits, such as half or fully bridge switches, with each switching circuit connected to a different power supply. One of the switching circuits is activated by the switching controller, while the others are disabled, providing selection of the output pulse voltage. Selection of a lower pulse voltage, when the maximum voltage is not required, reduces the generated EMI. The switching frequency of the class-D amplifier may also be controlled in conformity with the output signal amplitude, so that at higher output levels a lower switching rate is selected, reducing the generated EMI.

A controller generates a load control signal for pulse-width modulation control for changing the duty factor of switching transistors so that the ON period of the switching transistors is elongated when said controller determines based on an error detection amplification signal that the load-side output direct current has increased, and the ON period of the switching transistors is shortened when said controller determines based on the error detection amplification signal that the load-side output direct current has decreased, in the condition in which the switching frequency is kept constant. A driver selecting portion selects, according to the load-light/heavy detection signal, at least one switching transistor to be activated, from among the plurality of switching transistors, and supplying the load control signal to the thus-selected at least one switching transistor.

A control IC including a full-bridge circuit is disposed on a primary side and a secondary side. Bidirectional communication is performed between the primary side and the secondary side in a state in which they are isolated. A control signal output from the primary side or the secondary side earlier is preferentially processed. As a result, the authority to control a switching element can be freely given to a primary-side control IC or a secondary-side control IC, and any control processing can be performed with software.

The invention discloses an optimal pressure equalizing control method of a modular multilevel converter type direct current transmission system. By setting an upper limit and a lower limit on voltage, the pressure equalizing control is mainly carried out on submodules with out-of-limit capacitor voltage, and capacitor voltage sequencing for submodules with no out-of-limit capacitor voltage is processed by combing the charging/discharging conditions of bridge arm current so as to increase the probability of maintaining an original switching state for the submodules with no out-of-limit capacitor voltage when the next action is in triggering control and lower the switching frequency of devices. The introduction of the pressure equalizing control can not lower the working frequency of triggering control and the tracking speed of a converter by using submodule capacitor voltage sequencing and triggering control to work at different frequencies. The optimal pressure equalizing control method of the invention can greatly lower the switching frequency of the devices on the premise of having no obvious increment on submodule capacitor voltage fluctuation.
