Abstract
A switching inverter power supply has a harmonic semi-resonant circuit associated with an isolation transformer for reducing electromagnetic interference. Fixed-frequency operation with pulse width modulation for regulation is accompanied by controlled current rise and fall times in the transformer primary. The semi-resonant circuit comprises an inductor in series with the transformer primary and a capacitor in parallel with the transformer secondary, transformer leakage inductance being included in the resonance. In one version, the resonant frequency can be set from about the fifth to about the twentieth harmonic of the fixed switching frequency for reducing peak switching currents.
