Abstract

A d.c. voltage supply circuit including a flyback converter having an inductor which is alternatingly charged through an electronic switch and discharged via a diode onto a capacitor. The output voltage of the flyback converter is continuously monitored. If a threshold value is exceeded, the electronic switch, which is mounted in an input line of the flyback converter, is changed into the off-state. The off-state of the electronic switch is terminated as soon as the output voltage has again fallen below the threshold value. Loads requiring a specific d.c. voltage may be connected to different supply voltages without the need of changeovers. The circuit offers a high security in view of overvoltage from the power network. It is self-monitoring and protects the connected load.
