Abstract
A multiple output flyback converter provides independently controlled high-bandwidth secondary side voltage regulation for rapid response to small signal changes at the multiple outputs on the secondary side. Each of the multiple output circuits includes a fast local feedback loop to perform rapid and precise secondary side voltage regulation. The fast local secondary side feedback loops compensate for small changes in the load on the order of 1 to 5 percent. By providing each output circuit with independent secondary-side control, the last or final voltage output is controlled from the primary side. A further feature of the inventive circuit is that the input circuit of the converter includes an active clamp circuit for recovering both energy in the leakage inductance and additionally recovers residual energy in the magnetic field of the secondary winding of the transformer at the end of each energy cycle.
