Abstract
In a half-bridge circuit, in a case that a first transistor element is turned ON, a primary winding current flows from a power supply to a primary winding. Then, in a case that the first transistor element is turned OFF, (i) a first rectifying element current flows from a secondary winding to a first rectifying element, or (ii) a second rectifying element current flows from a tertiary winding to a second rectifying element.
