Patent ID: 10205396

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method (300) for controlling a galvanically isolated DC converter (100). The DC converter (100) comprises a full bridge (110) for converting an input DC voltage (UinDC) into an input AC voltage (UinAC), a transformer (120) for converting the input AC voltage (UinAC) into an output AC voltage (UoutAC), and a rectifier (130) for converting the output AC voltage (UoutAC) into an output DC voltage (UoutDC). The method comprises the steps: determining (320) the duty cycle (D) of the full bridge (110); comparing (330) the determined duty cycle (D) with a duty cycle threshold value (Dth); calculating (340) an input DC voltage (UinDCcalc) according to an input current (I_in), the output DC voltage (UoutDC), a transformation ratio (U) of the transformer (120) and an adapted value (D_ad) of the duty cycle of the full bridge (110).
