Apparatus for controlling the current going through an inductor of an energy conversion device

摘要

The present invention concerns an apparatus for controlling the current going through an inductor of an energy conversion device, the energy conversion device comprising at least one switch and a capacitor connected between the terminals of a power source, the discharge of the capacitor providing current, at least a part of the provided current going through the inductor and the switch when the switch is conducting. The apparatus comprises means for reducing the voltage of the capacitor from a first voltage value to a second voltage value by controlling the conduction or not of the switch through the use of at least one predetermined mathematical function
