Abstract

A circuit provides a secondary output voltage from an input voltage. The circuit includes power supply circuitry for creating an unregulated DC bus voltage line and a regulator circuit connected to the DC bus voltage line for controlling a first switch in series with a transformer winding. The control circuit samples an output voltage to control the output voltage by cycling the first switch. The circuit further includes a pulse generator circuit connected to the regulator circuit for controlling start and stop cycles of the regulator circuit and a comparator circuit connected to the pulse generator circuit for monitoring the secondary output voltage and for disabling the pulse generator circuit during normal operation of the power supply circuit.
