  • Methods and systems for control of DC-DC converters
    Patent number: 9564820
    Abstract: Switching regulator methods and systems for supplying output current at a regulated voltage level to a load. The regulator has a primary side that is galvanically isolated from a secondary side. The regulator includes a transformer having a primary winding on the primary side and a secondary winding on the secondary side, coupled to a load. A switch, coupled to the primary winding, controls current flow through the primary winding. A first feedback control loop, responsive only to primary side signal values, regulates a constant average voltage at the output node. An optional second feedback control loop, responsive only to primary side signal values, reduces voltage ringing at the output node.
