Abstract
An active clamped-mode DC-to-DC converter with synchronous rectifiers and a combined transformer-inductor device is provided. The power converter includes a combined transformer-inductor device having a primary winding, a secondary winding, and an auxiliary winding where the primary and the secondary windings perform a transformer function and the auxiliary winding performs an output filter function, a switching circuit for periodically providing a positive voltage to the primary winding and a negative voltage to reset the primary winding, and a synchronous rectification circuit connected for enabling conduction from the secondary winding to an output port in which the auxiliary winding is coupled between the output port and the synchronous rectification circuit for providing an inductance to filter an output signal.
