Abstract
A converter for supplying various output voltages for a television receiver includes a multi-resonant circuit, including a resonant inductor, the leakage inductance of a flyback transformer, and a charging capacitor (including the parasitic capacitance of a switching transistor). This arrangement relaxes the slope of the voltages in the converter resulting in reduced radiated EMI. In addition, the values of the inductor and the capacitor are adjusted so that the switching transistor turns on at zero voltage and zero current so that the switching transistor is less stressed and the converter is capable of high frequency operation. Finally, the switching signals applied to the switching transistor are subjected to a filter-delay to lessen the slope of the signals thereby also resulting in a reduction in the EMI radiated from the driving circuit.
