MAIN FEATURES

AC/DC power supply for an X-Ray generator meant to be used in medical applications.

Severe specifications for settling time and also size (similar to that of a PC).

The power stage is based on a resonant converter that uses IGBTs as switches.

The reactive elements required are achieved through a careful transformer design.

This work gave rise to a Patent: WO2007/ 141349 A1.
