Abstract: A drive transformer and associated circuitry for providing power and appropriate delays to primary switches and synchronous rectifiers in switch-mode power converters in a full-bridge topology. The invention takes advantage of the leakage inductances of the drive transformer windings as well as the input capacitance of the primary switches (MOSFETs) to provide the delays. No separate circuitry is needed to provide such delays, thereby providing reliability. Exemplary embodiments further disclose means to disable or enable the primary winding from a condition sensed on the secondary side even with a control and feedback circuit located on the secondary side. The invention further discloses means to use one drive transformer winding to control two switches completely out of phase.

The first access server (28) is connected between the network element (24) and the first functionality server (30). After receiving the information, the information is translated from the universal interface format to a system-compatible interface format. The translating is performed by the first access server (28) and the system-specific interface format is different than the universal interface format. After translating the information to the system-specific format, the information is transmitted from the first access server (28) toward the system interface (26). The first access server (28) is connected between the network element (24) adapted and the first functionality server (30). The functionality server (30) is adapted for initiating provisioning of a connection between the network element (24) and a subscriber data processing system (16) prior to transmitting the information toward the system interface (26).
