Abstract
A rectifying power supply having circuitry for providing AC power, a plurality of capacitors responsive to the AC power for providing DC isolation and for providing capacitively coupled AC power, and a plurality of rectifying circuits responsive to the capacitively coupled AC power for providing respective DC outputs. The outputs of the rectifying circuits are coupled in series or in parallel.
Claims7
A power supply comprising:
- means for providing AC power at a frequency greater than one megahertz;
- non-resonant means responsive to said AC power for providing DC isolation and for providing capacitively coupled AC power without inductors or resistors;
- and
- a plurality of rectifying means responsive to said capacitively coupled Ac power for providing respective DC outputs.
