    摘要: A power supply device includes a transformer including a primary winding, a secondary winding and an auxiliary winding, first, second and third circuits, and a switch. The first circuit in which a first capacitor and a first rectifier are connected in series is connected to the primary winding in parallel. The switch of which one end is connected to one end of the primary winding. The second circuit in which the auxiliary winding and a second rectifier are connected in serial is connected between a connecting point, to which the first capacitor and the first rectifier are connected, and the other end of the switch. The third circuit including a resistor and a third rectifier is connected to a gate of the switch. In the third circuit, a resistance value in a direction where a current flows into the gate of the switch is smaller than that in a direction where the current flows out of the gate.

    摘要: An apparatus for electric power conversion includes a converter having a regulating circuit and switching network. The regulating circuit has magnetic storage elements, and switches connected to the magnetic storage elements and controllable to switch between switching configurations. The regulating circuit maintains an average DC current through a magnetic storage element. The switching network includes charge storage elements connected to switches that are controllable to switch between plural switch configurations. In one configuration, the switches forms an arrangement of charge storage elements in which at least one charge storage element is charged using the magnetic storage element through the network input or output port. In another, the switches form an arrangement of charge storage elements in which an element discharges using the magnetic storage element through one of the input port and output port of the switching network.
