Talk:Push–pull converter

A fact from Push–pull converter appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 5 February 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that a Push-Pull Converter is a type of DC to DC converter that uses a transformer to step the voltage of a DC power supply?

Timing logic backwards[edit]

It seems to me that having both transistors closed (on) would result in a short across the supply rail? --njh 01:25, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think there is some non-standard terminology at work here... the article uses "closed" to indicate a high-impedance (off) state, and "open" to indicate a low-impedance (on) state.

- - There are many problems with this description. They actually describe a full-bridge forward converter, not a push-pull. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.174.111.17 (talk) 00:01, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

1. A better and more specific image could be used for the circuit. Since the whole transistor operation is explained, then the article might as well have a schematic that shows how the transistors replace the switches in the current image.

2. The "Circuit operation" and "Timing" sections should probably be renamed "Circuit" and "Operation" which I think more appropriate.
