DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM FOR POWER CONVERTER

摘要

A power converter system that includes a diagnostic system is presented. One example of a power converter system is an audio amplifier system, such as a switch mode amplifier. The diagnostic system in the power converter may collect data indicative of signals in the power converter system and analyze the collected data. The collection and analysis of the data may be user defined (such as multiple measurements taken over a predetermined period) or may be defined by operation of the power converter system (such as an overcurrent or voltage clipping in the power converter system). The analysis of the collected data may be used to determine one or more potential problems in the power converter system, and to modify operation of the power converter system.
