Patent ID: 8693214

Claim:
A voltage converter comprising: a transformer, said transformer having at least one primary-side winding; an AC/AC converting circuit connected to convert an input alternating current to a higher frequency input alternating current for said at least one primary-side winding; said transformer having a first secondary-side partial winding, said first secondary-side partial winding having a respective first end, and said first secondary-side partial winding having a respective second end; said transformer having a second secondary-side partial winding, said second secondary-side partial winding having a respective first end, and said first secondary-side partial winding having a respective second end; a first secondary-side full bridge rectifier, said first secondary-side full bridge rectifier having a first input connected to said first end of said first secondary-side partial winding, said first secondary-side full bridge rectifier having a second input connected to said first end of said second secondary-side partial winding, said first secondary-side full bridge rectifier having a respective output side configured to supply output direct voltage; a first secondary-side capacitor, said capacitor having a first side connected to said second end of said first secondary-side partial winding, said capacitor having a second side connected to said second end of said second secondary-side partial winding; a second secondary-side full bridge rectifier, said second secondary-side full bridge rectifier having a first input connected to said second end of said first secondary-side partial winding and connected to said first side of said first secondary-side capacitor, said second secondary-side full bridge rectifier having a second input connected to said second end of said second secondary-side partial winding and connected to said second side of said first secondary-side capacitor, said second secondary-side full bridge rectifier having a respective output side connected in a homopolar manner to said respective output side of said first secondary-side full bridge rectifier.
