ABSTRACT:
A switching power supply system comprises a semiconductor switching device for selectively opening and closing a current path from a dc power source to a load, an inductive component connected in series with the switching device, a series combination of a first diode and a voltage clamp, and a control circuit for controlling the switching device. The series combination is connected in parallel to the switching device or the inductive component such as a transformer or an inductor. The first diode has a carrier lifetime equal to or longer than the switching period of the switching device. A discharge circuit is connected between one terminal of the dc power source and a branch point between the first diode and the voltage clamp, and arranged to regulate an amount of energy returned from the voltage clamp to the dc power source.
