* 周涛 * Dual-Mode System Importance of efficiency improvement: By dynamically changing the operation of the overall power system, it is possible to achieve 4 – 5% gain in efficiency especially at lighter loads. By using digital technology, it is possible to change the operation of the power system in real time. Efficiency Improvement Boost Voltage Variation The efficiency difference of power factor correction over a wide range of AC input could be 3 to 4% depending on the set point of the Boost voltage. It is highest near the peak of the input AC source voltage. Continues monitor the AC input voltage and sets the Boost voltage slightly above the peak of the AC input voltage to improve the efficiency. Envelop Followed Power Supply Burst Mode Operation Certain converters operate very inefficiently at light load conditions. Based on the input power drawn, the switcher goes into a burst mode to improve the efficiency. Lighter the load, lower will be the burst mode frequency. Therefore at very light load, the switching losses can be minimized and thus the overall efficiency improved. Phase Shedding It improves the efficiency by dropping certain number of phases in a multiphase regulator depending on the instructions from the processor and other devices in a system. The instruction is a function of the load for the devices. This could be called – power on demand operation Gate Drive Voltage Variation For light load conditions, the switching losses dominate and a regulator driven by lower gate voltage could make a 2 – 3% difference in efficiency. If the gate voltage for light load condition is reduced from 12V to 5V, the efficiency improvement is 6–7%. An algorithm based on the power drawn can modify the gate voltages and thus achieve a much higher efficiency. Redundant OperationA redundant power system in general has a lower efficiency due to duplication of fixed overhead. Therefore, for light loa
