Abstract
A power supply circuit for providing an output voltage that is higher than an input voltage. The power supply circuit is comprised of a bridge circuit and a resonant circuit, and is coupleable to a power source and a load circuit. The power supply circuit provides a boost function for stepping up an input voltage in order to reduce the required number of battery cells in order to power a load, such as a series of LEDs.
