Abstract

See full text

A power supply arrangement including a transformer and a switching element coupled to a primary winding of the transformer and a power supply. The power supply includes a capacitor having a first terminal coupled to a junction of the primary winding and the switching element and a first diode coupled between the capacitor and an output node. The power supply further includes a discharge element, such as a resistor or a diode, coupled between the junction of the first diode and the capacitor and a power supply common. A voltage regulator, such as a Zener diode, is connected to the output node to produce a regulated voltage powered by the voltage applied to the transformer primary winding, with the regulated voltage being used to power the control circuitry.
