Abstract
An energy storage circuit for a wide input voltage range DC-DC converter with holdup time requirement. The energy storage circuit comprises (1) an energy storage capacitor, (2) a charging path including a diode connected in series with a current limiting resistor coupled in series with the energy storage capacitor, (3) a discharging path including a parallel-coupled switch and a diode coupled in series with a filtering inductor which is coupled in series with the energy storage capacitor, and (4) a logic control unit coupled to the switch for turning the switch of the discharge path on and off.
