Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards a method for power conversion. The method may include controlling a first rectifier switch coupled to one end of a secondary winding of a transformer via a first control signal. The method may further include controlling a first low side switch via said first control signal, said first low side switch and a first high side switch coupled in series along a first path of a full bridge circuit, a first node located between said first high side switch and said first low side switch. The method may also include controlling a second rectifier switch coupled to an opposite end of said secondary winding via a second control signal.

Abstract: A controller for providing out of phase drive signals to a power converter having at least a first power unit and second power unit. The controller may comprise input circuitry adapted to receive a first signal from a first path and a second signal from a second path and provide an output signal in response to a difference between the first and second signals. The first signal may be representative of a current level of the first power unit during a first time interval and the first signal representative of a current level of the second power unit during a second time interval. The controller may further comprise output circuitry responsive to the output signal from the input circuitry to provide the out of phase drive signals to the first and second power unit.

Abstract: A power converter includes a transformer having a primary winding and a secondary winding, and a plurality of switches coupled to the primary and secondary winding, the plurality of switches responsive to at least one control signal to short both the primary and secondary winding during a first reset time interval. An electronic device including such a power converter and related methods are also provided. A power converter having a plurality of DC to DC converters coupled in parallel is also provided.
