    摘要: A power converter can include an input circuit having a primary winding and a primary power switch coupled in series between an input terminal and the ground; a first output circuit having a first secondary winding which is coupled with the primary winding; a second output circuit having a second secondary winding coupled with the primary winding and at least one secondary power switch; a first control circuit that controls the primary power switch to be turned on and off to adjust an output signal of the first output circuit; and a second control circuit which controls the secondary power switch to be turned on and off to adjust an output signal of the second output circuit. The secondary power switch can be turned on before the primary power switch is turned off in a first state in one switching cycle, in order to reduce the switching interference.
