Abstract
A forward converter includes an input voltage source divided into multiple divided input voltage sources, each of which provides a portion of a total input voltage of the input voltage source. The forward converter includes an output circuit with an output capacitor, a transformer having multiple primary windings, a secondary winding, and a relaxation winding. Each primary winding is connected in series with a corresponding primary side switching device. A combination of the primary winding and the corresponding primary side switching device is in parallel with a corresponding divided voltage source. The secondary winding outputs a voltage via the output circuit. The relaxation winding is connected across the divided input voltage sources or the output capacitor. A controller circuit controls the primary side switching devices to control power flow from the input voltage source to the output capacitor based on an indication of a voltage across the output capacitor.
