Abstract
In an inverter power supply, the main current paths of first and second transistors are coupled in a push-pull arrangement to a source of direct voltage and to the primary winding of a power transformer. The on-off switching of the conduction in the main current paths develops an alternating polarity voltage across the primary winding to develop a supply voltage across a secondary winding of the power transformer. A control circuit for the two transistors produces the on-off switching at a nominal fifty percent duty cycle. A signal representative of the current in the main paths of the two transistors is developed. In response to this signal, the duty cycle of the on-off switching is adjusted so as to oppose changes in the amplitude of the current in the main current paths and so as to oppose changes in the duty-cycle switching away from the nominal fifty percent.
