Abstract

See full text

The output-side referenced pulse width modulator (PWM) in an isolation-providing voltage converter receives at least initial bias voltage (Vbias) from a charge-pump like Vbias generator. The Vbias generator includes an input-side referenced periodic waveform generator whose output signal can be amplified differentially with an input-side referenced circuit and then AC-coupled via isolation-maintaining capacitors to an output-side referenced rectifier circuit whose output is Vbias. The Vbias thus generated can power the PWM at least from power-up through commencement of steady-state operation, when a more robust Vbias can be derived from the output-side voltage itself. Since the PWM is output-side referenced, high feedback bandwidth is maintained.
