Abstract
A switched power supply of the self-balancing push-pull square-wave converter type which includes a pair of switching transistors connected to the primary of a transformer and which are driven by a square-wave oscillator, and which also includes a pre-regulator chopper connected to the transistors. A ripple voltage appears on the output of the pre-regulator which is a function of the current flow through the individual transistors, and this voltage is coupled through a capacitor and a series resistor to the square-wave oscillator to terminate the drive current through each transistor for each cycle in which the current flow through the transistor exceeds a predetermined maximum.
