Abstract
An integrated magnetic power converter for supplying power to a load includes a continuous magnetic structure having first and second oppositely disposed legs, and third and fourth oppositely disposed legs and a magnetic path therebetween. A first winding is wound on the first leg. A second winding is wound on the second leg and is connected to the load. A third winding in series with the second winding is wound on the first leg. A fourth winding is wound on the third leg and is connected to an energy source for supplying power to the converter. A fifth winding is connected in series with the fourth winding and is wound on the fourth leg. A first circuit is connected to the first winding for supplying energy to the first winding, such that when energy is supplied to the first winding, energy is transferred via the second and third windings to the load. A second circuit is connected to the fifth winding for supplying energy to the first circuit and for storing energy, the stored energy is supplied to the first winding for transfer to the load.
