Abstract
A switching converter includes a transformer having a primary winding to which an input voltage is supplied and formed of two primary winding halves, a tap between the winding halves, and a pair of switching elements in series connection with the winding halves. A voltage divider formed of two capacitors and across which the input voltage is supplied is connected at a center tap between the two capacitors to the primary winding tap through a damping element or network. Each switching element is connected through a respective driver to a controller that operatively effects synchronous control of the switching elements.
