  • Patent number: 9106143
    Abstract: An AC/DC converter comprising an input rectifier circuit connected in series with a primary winding (5) of an isolating transformer (6) and to a chopper switch (T1) driven by a control circuit (10) using pulse width modulation on the basis of a signal representative of a primary current, the isolating transformer having a first secondary winding (7) that is wound in the same direction as the primary winding and that is connected to an output line (8) of the converter via a diode (D4) and a filter coil (L1), and a second secondary winding (9) that is wound in the opposite direction to the primary winding and that is connected directly to the output line via a diode (D2), the output line being connected to an output capacitor (Cout).
    Type: Grant
