Abstract
A power supply system includes an input stage comprising first and second input switches to provide a primary current responsive first and second input switching signals. A transformer generates a secondary current responsive to the primary current. An output stage comprises an output, a first output switch, a second output switch and a clamping switch. The output stage can be configured to generate an output voltage at the output by rectifying the secondary current responsive to respective first and second output switching signals. The clamping switch can be configured to close responsive to a clamp switching signal during an activation dead-time between closing the first input switch and the second input switch. The system further includes a switching controller configured to generate the first and second input switching signals and the first and second output switching signals based on the output voltage, and to generate the clamp switching signal.
