Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A power converter for use in converting a variable DC input voltage into a variable DC output voltage is disclosed which uses control circuitry on both the input and the output to optimize converter performance. By charging the inductor up nearly to the saturation point, but completely avoiding saturation of the inductor, power capability at the input end is maximized. By discharging the inductor completely without either losing power capability by continuing to attempt to discharge the inductor after the charge is depleted or by failing to nearly discharge the inductor thereby presenting the possibility of saturation to the boosting of current through the inductor during the next charge …
