DC-TO-AC CONVERTER WITH OVER-CURRENT PROTECTION

A DC-to-AC converting circuit generates an alternating current by alternately switching a set of switching elements. The alternating current is supplied to a load Lo via an output filtering circuit. If a current detection resistor R1 in the DC-to-AC converting circuit detects an output current that...

Zusammenfassung:A DC-to-AC converting circuit generates an alternating current by alternately switching a set of switching elements. The alternating current is supplied to a load Lo via an output filtering circuit. If a current detection resistor R1 in the DC-to-AC converting circuit detects an output current that exceeds a reference voltage Vref corresponding to an over-current set value, certain switching elements are turned off to disconnect the DC-to-AC converting circuit from the power source. However, the DC-to-AC converting circuit continues to generate an alternating current from energy stored in one or more inductors that are coupled to the DCto-AC converting circuit. Preferably, a closing circuit is formed from a diode, a switching element, the load Lo and the inductors. Thus, even if the DC-to-AC converting circuit is disconnected from its power source, an alternating current continuously flows to the load Lo.
