Abstract
A system for a direct current (DC)-DC converter includes a transformer, a bridge driver connected to a primary side of the transformer, and a bridge rectifier connected to a secondary side of the transformer, wherein one or more switches in the bridge driver are operable to configure the bridge driver into each of a half-bridge driver configuration and a full-bridge driver configuration, and to transition between the half-bridge driver configuration and the full-bridge driver configuration while the DC-DC converter is outputting power.
