Patent attributes
A power supply includes: a switching amplifier including an input and an output, the amplifier input being adapted to be powered by an electrical power source; a transformer including a primary and a secondary winding on a magnetic core, the number of winding turns being chosen to limit magnetization levels to avoid magnetic saturation while maximizing winding spacing, the transformer primary winding being in communication with the amplifier output; a rectification system in communication with the transformer secondary winding, the rectification system providing a DC power output; and a controller. The controller monitors the DC power output and adjusts the switching amplifier in response to the monitoring to provide a desired power output characteristic.
