ABSTRACT:
A forward converter for a switching power supply includes a direct current voltage source having a positive electrode and a negative electrode, a transformer having four identical primary windings each having a first end and a second end and a secondary winding connected to a load, the first end of a first primary winding and the second end of a fourth primary winding being connected to the positive electrode of the voltage source, the first end of a third primary winding and the second end of a second primary winding are connected to the negative electrode of the voltage source, two series-connected power switches connected between the second end of the first primary winding and the first end of the second primary winding and defining a common point between the power switches for simultaneously turning on and off in response to a control signal, a first diode connected between the common point of the power switches and the first end of the fourth primary winding, a second diode connected between the second end of the third primary winding and the first end of the fourth primary winding, a first capacitor connected between the second ends of the first and the third primary windings, and a second capacitor connected between the first ends of the second and the fourth primary windings.
