- the present invention relates to the field of DC / DC converters and more particularly relates to a converter that can deliver a plurality of output voltages.
- DC / DC converters are well known in all types of industry. Many of these converters, which include a transformer to provide galvanic isolation, deliver a single output voltage which, depending on their configuration, is greater (in the case of the booster converter also known as boost) or lower (case of the buck converter also called buck) to the DC voltage delivered. at the primary of the transformer.
- boost boost
- buck case of the buck converter also called buck
- converters are known which deliver several output voltages.
- the secondary of the transformer has several windings to create positive voltages on auxiliary output channels in addition to the positive voltage delivered by the main output channel of the converter.
- these auxiliary secondary voltages are fixed and simply defined by the transformation ratio between the primary winding and the secondary windings of the transformer.
- the present invention therefore proposes a DC / DC converter which makes it possible to overcome this proportionality and also makes it possible to regulate the multiple output voltages delivered in addition to the main output voltage.
- a DC / DC converter comprising:. a transformer having a primary winding Np and at least a first NsI and a second Ns2 secondary windings, . a main output channel connecting the first secondary winding to a main output Vp and having a synchronous rectifier circuit, a first inductance L1 and a first capacitor C1,. an input channel connecting a DC supply voltage Ve to the primary winding and having a switching circuit controlled by a first pulse width modulator PWM1 for regulating the main output voltage by switching the current in the winding primary,.

- PWM1 pulse width modulator
- This main voltage is available at the terminals of a first capacitor C1, one end of which is connected to an end of a first winding secondary NsI of the transformer through a first inductance L1 and whose other end forming a ground terminal is connected to the other end of the first secondary winding through a control switch M1.
- a freewheeling switch M2 is mounted between the other end of the capacitor C1 and the end of the secondary winding.

- the converter also delivers an auxiliary output voltage Va across a second capacitor C2, one end of which is connected to the other end of the capacitor C1 forming a ground terminal and the other end is connected to a end of a second inductor L2 whose other end is connected to one end of a second secondary winding Ns2 through a control switch M5.
