Abstract
In an integrated circuit (IC) for providing an enabling signal (EN) to a converter, the integrated circuit (IC) includes a monitoring circuit (FET , R , D , Io, M, S ) for providing a control signal (CS) in response to a level of a line voltage (Vline) on a first connection terminal ( ) of the integrated circuit (IC), and a start-up circuit (FET , Istrt_up, Vcc_strt-Lev, COMP, S ) for providing the enabling signal (EN) to the converter in response to the control signal (CS) and a generated voltage level (Vcc), the generated voltage level (Vcc) being generated in response to the level of the line voltage (Vline) on the first connection terminal ( ). The monitoring circuit and the start-up circuit sense the level of the line voltage (Vline) only via the first connection terminal ( ).
