ELECTRICAL SWITCHING SYSTEMS INCLUDING CONSTANT-POWER CONTROLLERS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS

Abstract:

An electrical switching system includes a constant-power controller and a switching device electrically coupled between a first node and a second node. The constant-power controller is configured to (a) generate a digital control signal to control the switching device, (b) control a duration of an active phase of the digital control signal at least partially based on a voltage across the switching device, and (c) control a peak value of the digital control signal to regulate a peak magnitude of current flowing through the switching device.
