Abstract
An isolated power converter that includes, in one embodiment, a first magnetic core having a primary winding and a secondary winding around the first magnetic core. The power converter includes a second magnetic core having a first leg, a second leg coupled to the first leg, and a third leg coupled to the first and second legs, wherein a part of the third leg is equidistant from the first leg and the second leg. The power converter also includes a first winding encircling the first leg, a first end of the first winding coupled to the secondary winding, a second winding encircling the second leg, a first end of the second winding coupled to the secondary winding, and a third winding encircling the third leg, a first end of the third winding coupled to a second end of the first winding and to a second end of the second winding.
