An isolated switched mode power supply comprises a transformer, with primary and secondary windings, and a rectification network connected to the secondary winding. The rectification network and the transformer are arranged such that, during a free-wheeling period of operation of the switched mode power supply, a magnetic flux from a first portion of a secondary winding of the transformer substantially cancels a magnetic flux from a second portion of the secondary winding between the first and second portions of the secondary winding. Additionally, a secondary side circuit connected to the secondary winding comprises a switching device, which is connected to a center-tap, provided between the first and second portions of the secondary winding, and an output of the rectification network so as to conduct at least a part of a free-wheeling current flowing in the secondary side circuit during the free-wheeling period.

A control circuit, that controls the duty cycle of a switched mode power supply, comprises a reference voltage generator that, responsive to the input voltage exceeding a threshold value, generates a predetermined reference signal. Responsive to the input voltage not exceeding the threshold value, the reference voltage generator receives a signal indicative of an input voltage of the switched mode power supply and generates a variable reference signal dependent upon the input voltage. The control circuit further comprises an error signal generator that receives a signal indicative of an output voltage of the power supply and generates an error signal based on the reference signal generated by the reference voltage generator and based on the output voltage. The control circuit also includes a duty cycle control signal generator that generates the control signal to control the duty cycle of the power supply in dependence upon the error signal.
