Voltage converter

In a voltage converter for converting an AC input voltage into a DC high voltage and further DC power supply voltages, in which the AC voltage applied to the converter is applied to a rectifier arrangement (1, 2, 3, 4) whose output signal is coupled to two consecutively switched electronic switches (6, 7), and in which this DC voltage is converted into the DC high voltage and into the DC power supply voltages, the circuit arrangement has a simple structure in that a series arrangement of a capacitance (8), an inductance (9) and a primary winding (10) of a transformer (11) is arranged in parallel with one of the electronic switches (6, 7), in that a secondary winding (12) of the transformer (11) precedes a capacitance (15) at the output end, in that a control circuit (20) is provided which controls the switching frequency of the electronic switches (6, 7) in such a way that a DC voltage of the desired value decreases across the capacitance (15) at the output end, and in that the transformer (11) is provided with additional taps (16, 17) at the secondary end, from which the DC power supply voltages can be derived.
