Server power supply with multiple output converter has advantage of high conversion efficiency. This paper proposed a novel input-series-output-quasi-parallel(ISOq P) multiple output converter applied to server power supply. The proposed ISOq P multiple output converter was constituted by a DCX and an auxiliary converter, in which the DCX handles most of the output power while the auxiliary converter only processes a minor part of the output power and takes the charge of stabilizing one output voltage of the DCX. To help design the proposed ISOq P multiple output converter, the topology selection criteria for the DCX and the auxiliary converter was presented and a soft-start control strategy was put forward. Finally, a 500 W prototype composed by a double output LLC converter and a dual-switch forward converter was built and tested in the lab. The experimental results can verify the feasibility of the proposed ISOq P multiple output converter and the proposed soft-start control strategy. The converter has high conversion efficiency, which could help to increase the overall conversion efficiency of the server power supply.
