PWM CONTROLLER FOR USE WITH OPEN LOOP DC TO AC CONVERTER

摘要

A pulse width modulation (PWM) controller (10) suitable for use with a variety of open loop topology power supply circuits including ring generator circuits (90). The controller and the circuit realized therefrom utilizes an open loop topology to achieve the desired output voltage waveform. The PWM controller is suitable for realizing a plurality of different open loop converter topologies such as buck, boost, forward and push-pull topologies. The PWM controller is adapted to provide the required signals to control the various possible open loop converter topologies. The controller functions to generate a PWM signal that is used to generate a half wave sine wave signal. The controller includes the necessary functionality to control the duty cycle of the generated PWM signal so as to produce a full wave sine wave at the output of the output bridge circuit (86).
