This document discusses apparatus and methods for a boost converter start-up circuit. In an example, a start-up circuit can include a linear current generator configured to couple a supply terminal of the voltage converter to an output terminal of the voltage converter. The linear current generator can include a modified current mirror and a feedback circuit configured to provide a first representative of an output voltage of the output terminal to an input of each of a first and a second adjustable current source of the modified current mirror.
