DC to DC converter
First Claim
1. In a DC to DC converter having a transformer with a primary winding and a secondary winding, a pair of input capacitors for serial connection across a supply of input potential, switching means for causing current to flow selectively in opposite directions through the primary winding, a pair of diodes for limiting the voltage across the primary winding, a load, voltage rectifier means connecting the load to the secondary winding, and means responsive to the output across the load for controlling the switching means, the improvement comprising:
- a two stage filter connected between the input capacitors and one side of the primary winding, the filter being tuned to a first frequency, equal to the desired switching rate of the switching means and to a second frequency equal to the third harmonic of the first frequency.

Abstract
A DC to DC converter having an input, an output, and a transformer coupling the input to the output. The converter includes circuit elements in the circuitry connected to the primary winding of the transformer which tune that circuitry to resonate at a first frequency and at the third harmonic of the first frequency so that the current which flows in the primary winding comprises alternating basically square wave pulses.
