Abstract
A technique, which substantially reduces the number of power-stage and control circuit components in an isolated DC/DC converter with parallel current-doubler rectifier stages, includes on the primary side transformers with serially connected primary windings each having a corresponding secondary winding coupled to one of the voltage-doubler stages. In one embodiment, the primary and secondary windings and filter inductors of the current-doubler rectifier stages are provided on an integrated magnetic core. The filter inductors in each current-doubler rectifier stage can be provided as coupled inductors. In one embodiment, an X-shaped magnetic core is provided to achieve coupled or uncoupled filter inductors.
