Patent 11978613 was granted and assigned to ADVANCED ENERGY INDUSTRIES, INC. on May, 2024 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Bias supplies and bias control methods are disclosed. One method comprises applying an asymmetric periodic voltage waveform and providing a corresponding current waveform at an output node relative to a return node; receiving a signal to change from a current state of the asymmetric periodic voltage waveform to a next state of the asymmetric periodic voltage waveform; and adjusting, during a transition from the current state to the next state, at least one portion of the asymmetric periodic voltage waveform and simultaneously adjusting a fundamental frequency of the asymmetric periodic voltage waveform to settle at the next state.
