Title:
POWER CONVERTER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2004/047277
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The invention relates to a power converter comprising an inductor 6 for receiving energy from a power supply 1, and connected to the inductor 6 an output capacitor 7 for providing an output voltage. In order to ensure a quick compensation of a reduction of load at the voltage output using few output capacitors, it is proposed that an additional current path 11,12 is arranged in parallel either to the inductor 6 or to the capacitor 7, which additional current path 11,12 can be opened and closed. A current flowing through the additional current path 11,12 reaches basically immediately a desired value, when the additional current path 11,12 is opened. Feedback means are moreover provided for opening the additional current path 11,12, when the output voltage reaches a predetermined maximum value. The invention relates equally to a corresponding method.
