ABSTRACT:
A forward converter includes a chopper transformer having a primary winding and one or more secondary windings. A corresponding rectifier and a corresponding filter capacitor is coupled to each secondary winding. An inductor is coupled in series with the primary winding. A low impedance current path that includes the corresponding rectifier is formed between each secondary winding and the corresponding filter capacitor. The inductor limits the rate of change of the current in each current path.
