Assignee: FLEX LTD.
Field: Electrical machinery, apparatus, energy (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 10:
11. A system, comprising:
a power converter comprising:
a first circuit path including a series combination of a primary winding of a transformer and a first secondary winding of the transformer;
a second circuit path including a second secondary winding of the transformer; and
first switching elements and second switching elements connected on opposing sides of the transformer and connected via a common ground,
wherein the primary winding of the transformer is magnetically coupled to the first and second secondary windings of the transformer,
wherein the primary winding of the transformer is detachably coupled to each of the first and second secondary windings of the transformer,
wherein the primary winding of the transformer is operative to generate a portion of an output current based on energy received from the primary winding of the transformer, and
wherein the second secondary winding of the transformer is operative to generate a remaining portion of the output current based on energy received from the second secondary winding of the transformer, and
wherein each of the primary winding, the first secondary winding and the second secondary winding has a same number of turns; and
control circuity configured to control switching of the first switching elements and the second switching elements to regulate an output voltage of the power converter.
