Abstract:
A method and apparatus include a primary transformer coil, a secondary transformer coil, and a center tapped inductor coupled to the secondary transformer coil. A first switch may be in electrical communication with the center tapped inductor and may be configured to affect the first output voltage. A second switch may be in electrical communication with the center tapped inductor and may be configured to affect the second output voltage. In a particular example with an analog current (AC) output voltage, the two output voltages are out of phase to each other. In a direct current (DC) implementation, the transformer may be operated to output a positive and a negative output voltage. The apparatus may function as a resonant converter, or may operate in non-resonant mode. In one implementation, an H bridge may provide reactive power support. An inductor filter may be in electrical communication with the secondary transformer coil. Where desired, a diode bridge may be in electrical communication with the primary transformer coil.
