Get StartedIn the voltage inverter, the charge pump capacitor, C1, is charged to the input voltage during the first half of the switching cycle. During the second half of the switching cycle, its voltage is inverted and applied to capacitor C2 and the load.
The two most common switched capacitor voltage converters are the voltage inverter and the voltage doublercircuit shown in Figure 4.1. In the voltage inverter, the charge pump capacitor, C1, is charged to the input voltage during the first half of the switching cycle.
Typical IC switched capacitor inverters have maximum output currents of about 150mA maximum. Switched capacitor voltage converters do not maintain high efficiency for a wide range of ratios of input to output voltages, unlike their switching regulator counterparts.
What is an Inverter? What is a Converter? The DC-link capacitor's purpose is to provide a more stable DC voltage, limiting fluctuations as the inverter sporadically demands heavy current. A design can use different technologies for DC-Link capacitors such as aluminum electrolytic, film, and ceramic types.
Switched capacitor inverters are low cost and compact and are capable of achieving efficiencies greater than 90%. Obviously, the current output is limited by the size of the capacitors and the current carrying capacity of the switches. Typical IC switched capacitor inverters have maximum output currents of about 150mA maximum.
The DC link capacitor charges to nearly the same voltage as the voltage source. After the pre-charge state, the pre-charge contactor opens and the HV positive contactor closes to drive the system or charge the battery. Since Figure 3. Pre-charge Steady-State
