Abstract
Usually, power supplies are not capable of switching off part of the outputs of a main power supply during stand-by. Due to this, stand-by power supplies are used in addition to operation power supplies. Consistent with an example embodiment, a forward converter is provided, including switches in the rectifier circuit thereof. Due to this, the rectifier circuits may be selectively switched on and off. Advantageously, this may allow that the main outputs of such a forward converter are switched off while on stand-by.
