Abstract
A switching converter includes a transformer having a primary winding to which an input voltage is supplied and formed of two primary winding halves, a tap between the winding halves, and a pair of switching elements in series connection with the winding halves. A voltage divider formed of two capacitors and across which the input voltage is supplied is connected at a center tap between the two capacitors to the primary winding tap through a damping element or network. Each switching element is connected through a respective driver to a controller that operatively effects synchronous control of the switching elements.

1-11. (canceled)
A switching converter, comprising:
- a transformer having a primary winding divided into a first partial winding and a second partial winding, and a tap defined between the first and second partial windings;
- first and second switching elements in respective series connection with the first and second partial windings of the primary winding, an input voltage being connectable across the series connection of the first and second partial windings and the first and second switching elements;
- a capacitive voltage divider for connection across the input voltage and defining a center tap of the voltage divider;
- and
- one of a damping element and a damping network connecting the primary winding tap and the voltage divider center tap.
