Abstract

An integrated magnetic assembly for use in the direct current output circuit of a high frequency electronic switching power supply, comprising magnetic core sections for the output transformer and inductor windings and a common magnetic core segment completing the magnetic flux paths for the transformer and inductor windings. An auxiliary winding on one or both of the core sections is supplied with energy from the capacitor of a snubber circuit connected across the primary side of the magnetic output circuit. This auxiliary winding is magnetically coupled to the secondary side of the magnetic circuit to transfer energy to the power supply output during a portion of the switched current cycle.
