Abstract:
1. A system to convert power from a power source to a pulse load, comprising: a charge store to provide pulsed power to a load; a power converter to continuously provide power from a power source; a power converter controller to continuously compare a sensed output voltage of the charge store and a sensed output current of the power converter to a power command, and to continuously control the power converter based on the comparison to maintain an output power of the power converter constant and equal to a power level indicated by the power command; and a peak voltage controller to periodically compare a peak output voltage of the charge store to a peak voltage reference, and to adjust the power command based on the comparison, wherein the peak voltage controller includes a peak voltage detector to determine the peak output voltage based on the sensed output voltage of the charge store at times that coincide with synchronization pulses.
