ABSTRACT:
A voltage regulator for converting an unregulated input voltage into a regulated D.C. voltage. The voltage regulator includes a driver transformer which periodically receives energizing current from a voltage source through a transistor switch. A switching regulator controller regulates the conduction time of the transistor so as to control the amount of energizing current supplied to the driver transformer. The driver transformer secondary windings drive the base of output transistors which, when conducting, connect the primary windings of an output transformer to the voltage supply. A capacitor is connected in parallel with the primary winding of the driver transformer so as to short circuit the primary winding of the drive transformer when the driver transistor is turned off. The current flow in the secondary of the driver transistor causes removal of the stored base charge from the output transistors which decreases the turn off time of the output transistors. The primary windings of the output transformer are connected in series with first and second capacitors connected between the common junction of the primary windings and the voltage supply to effectively create a virtual ground at the common junction. One end of each of the secondary windings of the output transformer is connected to Schottky diodes arranged in a full-wave, center tapped rectifier configuration. A hollow ferrite sleeve is disposed around a conductor connecting each Schottky diode with a secondary winding and provides sufficient inductance to protect the Schottky diodes from transient reverse overvoltages.
