Assignee: LEAR CORPORATION
Field: Electrical machinery, apparatus, energy (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC B  H  Y | IPC B  H

Claim 10:
11. An on-board charger comprising:
a rectifier for converting an alternating current (AC) voltage from an external power supply to a direct current (DC) voltage;
a power factor correction (PFC) circuit coupled to the rectifier;
a capacitor coupled to the PFC circuit to provide a DC-Link voltage;
a converter coupled to the capacitor to adjust the DC-Link voltage and adapted to couple to a battery; and
a processor programmed to:
adjust the DC-Link voltage between a first setpoint and a second setpoint based on a battery voltage value, in response to the AC voltage being less than a threshold value, wherein the threshold value is equal to 140 Volts AC; and
set the DC-Link voltage to a constant voltage value in response to the AC voltage from the external power supply exceeding the threshold value.
