Abstract: It is intended to improve especially a switched-mode power supply operating in accordance with the flyback converter principle, in such a manner that it has a characteristic during the run-up phase which is easier on the components compared with previously. To keep the regulating voltage of the regulating circuit (Rk) of the switched-mode power supply constant during the run-up phase, a differentiating capacitor (Cd) is connected in parallel with a diode circuit (D1) in one case and between the cathode terminals of two diode circuits (D1 and D2) in the other case. Keeping the regulating voltage constant results in a uniformly linear running-up of the switched-mode power supply output voltage (Ua), as a result of which lastly the loading on various components is also reduced.

Abstract: A single-ended flow converter which is clocked at the primary winding side and which is provided with a controller and monitor and comprises a plurality of switched power packs that are connected by secondary windings and are each composed of an electronic switch, a storage inductor, a free wheeling diode and a smoothing capacitor for supplying power to a DC user. The flow converter is compact and has high efficiency and has at least one secondary winding (T3 III) which has a further switch power pack (2) associated to it such that one electronic switch (V19) has its storage inductor (L2a) connected to the end of one winding of the secondary winding (T3 III) and has a second electronic switch (V18) which has its storage inductor (L2b) connected at the other end of the secondary winding (T3 III) and at least one of the free wheeling diodes (V7, V8) and the smoothing capacitors (C4 and C5) have at least one terminal connected to ground.
