Abstract
A start-up circuit with low standby power loss for power converters according to present invention comprises a first diode and a second diode coupled to an input voltage of the power converter. A start-up resistor is coupled to the join of the first diode and the second diode. A high-voltage switch is coupled to the start-up resistor to generate a power source. A control circuit generates a switching signal for switching a transformer. A detection circuit generates a disable signal in response to the input voltage to disable the switching signal. A winding of the transformer is coupled to the power source to generate the power for the power source. The high-voltage switch is turned off to cut off the start-up resistor for saving the power loss once the voltage of the power source is higher than a threshold.
