ABSTRACT:
A single ended forward DC-to-DC converter is operated with a main switch in series circuit with a primary winding of the isolation transformer and an auxiliary switch for charging a reset capacitor also in circuit with said primary winding. The main switch and auxiliary switch are operated through control logic so that neither switch is ON at the same time. A predetermined dead time is provided between turning OFF the auxiliary switch and turning ON the main switch to allow the output capacitance of the main switch to discharge into the secondary of the transformer. Current discharge into the secondary of the transformer during this time period is limited either by a saturable reactor in series circuit with the secondary or a selectively controlled rectifier.
