If faster rise times of
the actuator voltage are
desired, the actuator
needs to be fed from a
voltage greater than the
maximal
actuator
voltage. For an actuator
voltage of 200 V a
storage capacitor is to be
loaded to up to 250 V. If
a
second
storage
capacitor is added, the
actuator
can
be
discharged to negative
voltages.
Such
a
topology is shown in Fig. 5 [7, 8]. Using a positive and a
negative supply voltage of 250 V and -20 V respectively, the
actuator can be charged and discharged between 200 V and
-10 V. This way the maximal dilatation and displacement of
the actuator can be achieved while a depolarization is still
avoided. The generation of the supply voltages requires two
DC/DC-converters and a higher boost for the positive voltage.
This circuit uses the same 50 H-inductor as temporary energy
storage to limit the current rise and a small resistor for the
current sensing.
The operation of the two transistors is similar to the first
circuit. The current control is established in the same manner
as in the example of topology 1. Although the current is kept in
the same range, the charging is accomplished considerably
faster. The energy withdrawn from the storage capacitors does
not vary to the first example. In difference to the first topology,
the current into the actuator is not interrupted during the
charging. There is a permanent current flow from the inductor
into the actuator, along with an alternating connection of the
inductor to one of the two storage capacitors.
