Patent ID: 8018088

Claim:
An apparatus to provide efficient multiple power outputs, the apparatus comprising: a bridge module that receives a primary voltage as an input and provides one or more secondary voltages as outputs, wherein the one or more secondary voltages are substantially direct current (“DC”) voltages and wherein the one or more secondary voltages are generated on the secondary side of one or more respective secondary windings of a transformer, the one or more secondary windings coupled to a primary winding of the transformer, the bridge module comprising at least one primary complementary pair of switches on the primary winding side of the transformer and a secondary complementary pair of switches on the secondary side of each secondary winding of the transformer, the primary and secondary complementary pairs of switches operated in an open loop at about a 50% duty cycle to generate the secondary voltages; and one or more output voltage regulation modules, wherein each output voltage regulation module receives one of the secondary voltages from the bridge module as an input and provides at least one regulated output voltage as an output, each of the one or more output voltage regulation modules corresponding respectively to one of the one or more secondary windings of the bridge module.
