DC/DC converter having a control circuit to reduce losses at light loads

摘要

A DC/DC converter having a control circuit to reduce losses at light load, wherein a first control device turns ON and OFF power to the primary winding of the transformer of the DC/DC converter according to the difference between the output voltage of the DC/DC converter and the desired output voltage, and a second control device turns ON a switching device of a clamping circuit connected to the primary winding for a desired length of time after the first control device turns OFF the power to the primary winding.
