How It Works
The Push-Pull converter uses:
  • A center-tapped transformer
  • Two switches (MOSFETs, BJTs, or IGBTs)
  • A rectifier and filter capacitor on the output side
🔁 Operation:
  • Switches operate alternately (never ON at the same time)
  • Each switch applies input voltage to half of the transformer winding
  • Transformer generates alternating current (AC) in the secondary
  • Output is rectified and filtered to produce DC
