A multiple output regulator using the variable transformer turns ratio regulator technique

The use of a new regulation concept, parallel regulation, permits the construction of a power converter with multiple outputs that eliminates cross-regulation. The regulation principle-named variable transformer turns ratio regulator because it behaves as a transformer with an electronically controlled turns ratio-has been implemented in a zero voltage zero current power switching topology that was initially developed for space power applications. High efficiency, low mass, simplicity and low number of components are the main characteristics of the power converter.<<ETX>>
