Abstract

A control system for use in a power converter having a plurality of outputs comprising a primary switching control block, a secondary control block, and a multi-output control block. The primary switching control block is coupled to control switching of a primary switch. The secondary control block is coupled to control switching of a synchronous rectifier switch. The multi-output control block is coupled to control switching of at least one pulse transfer switch coupled to one of the plurality of outputs. A request for an energy pulse is transferred to the primary switching control block to turn ON the primary switch to transfer the energy pulse to one of the plurality of outputs. The multi-output control block comprises an interface to send the request for the energy pulse and to receive an acknowledge signal to and from the secondary control block.
