Starting Circuit For Switching Regulator

US Patent:
4016461, Apr 5, 1977
Filed:
May 6, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/683971
Inventors:
John Thomas Roland - Manheim PA
Assignee:
AMP Incorporated - Harrisburg PA
International Classification:
G05F 158
US Classification:
361 18
Abstract:
In a transistor switching type voltage regulation circuit, energy precharge is provided in a by-pass loop around the switching transistor. The instantaneous peak power dissipation at turn-on through the switching transistor is thereby diminished, greatly increasing the reliability of the switching transistor.
