Power supply circuit with integrated magnetic components

Abstract

A magnetic circuit with several magnetic components integrated on one or more common magnet cores is utilized in a current supply circuit known per se. The circuit comprises a transformer, the secondary winding ends of which are connected to uniform electrodes of a pair of rectifier diodes, the second electrodes of which are connected to one output terminal of the power supply circuit. Additionally, it includes two reactive components, and the first electrodes of the diodes are connected to the second output terminal of the power supply circuit via one of the reactive components. The number of turns of the two reactive components is essentially chosen to equal the number of secondary turns on the transformer. The two reactive components are positioned on each separate core part so that the resulting magnetic flux in common core parts substantially equals the difference between the magnetic flux of the two core parts, and the secondary winding of the transformer is positioned on the common core parts.
