The present invention relates to a DC voltage converter with soft switching of the type with half-bridge arrangement at the primary side and of quasi-resonant half-wave type at the secondary side. This converter comprises a single transformer and can generate a plurality of regulated voltages at output. It furthermore comprises a resonant circuit for creating a half-wave resonant current in the secondary winding and charging a first load capacitor so as to produce a first DC voltage. It furthermore comprises an inductive circuit connected between said secondary winding and a second load capacitor able to generate a current so as to charge the second load capacitor during a part of the half-wave of the resonant current flowing in the secondary winding and thus produce a second DC voltage.
DC voltage converter with soft switching, comprising a transformer having a primary winding and a secondary winding, the primary side of the converter being of the type with half-bridge arrangement and capable of being linked to an input voltage source by way of two switches and the secondary side of the converter being of quasi-resonant half-wave type and capable of providing at least one first DC voltage to a first load and one second DC voltage to a second load, said second DC voltage being less than said first DC voltage, first control means for controlling alternately the two switches, at fixed frequency, by pulse width modulation as a function of said first DC output,
