Abstract
Efficient multiple power outputs are provided by receiving a primary voltage as an input to a bridge module and providing one or more secondary voltages as outputs of the bridge module. The secondary voltages are generated on the secondary side of one or more respective secondary windings of a transformer. The bridge module includes at least one primary complementary pair of switches on the primary winding side of the transformer and a secondary complementary pair of switches on the secondary side of each secondary winding of the transformer. The secondary output voltages are received from the bridge module by one or more output voltage regulation modules. Each output voltage regulation module receives one of the secondary voltages from the bridge module as an input and provides at least one regulated output voltage as an output.
