The secondary winding Ws is magnetically coupled with the primary winding Wp, and the secondary winding Ws is electrically connected between an anode of the output diode Dout and the second output terminal O/P2. The cathode of the output diode Dout is electrically connected to the first output terminal O/P1. The output capacitor Cout is electrically connected between the first output terminal O/P1 and the second output terminal O/P2.
The input terminal I/P is further electrically connected to a power source 23 to receive electric power from the power source 23. The first output terminal O/P1 and the second output terminal O/P2 are further electrically connected to a load 24 to transmit electric power to the load 24.
When the switch 21 is turned off, a primary current Ip flowing through the primary winding Wp and magnetic flux produced by the primary current Ip drop. A voltage induced in the secondary winging Ws is forward-biasing the output diode Dout, allowing an output current Iout to flow from the secondary winding Ws of the transformer. The energy from the transformer recharges the output capacitor Cout and supplies the load 24.
The transformer winding magnetizing current will try to maintain current flow when the switch 21 is open, causing the voltage on switch 21 to rise to
