ABSTRACT:
A line-frequency switching power supply for producing a regulated D.C. output voltage includes a pass element disposed between a rectifier circuit and an output terminal to which a filter is connected. The pass element is enabled when a zero-crossing of line voltage is detected, and switched on when the line voltage exceeds the voltage on the filter capacitor plus the operational drop across the pass element. The pass element is switched off when the output reaches a preselected D.C. output level, tripping a switch. Since the pass element is switched on for only a portion of a cycle of line voltage, power dissipation is minimized and efficiency is kept high. Regulators of type described herein suitably may be stacked on a single secondary winding to produce multiple output voltages, or may suitably function as preregulators for following linear regulators to produce very stable and constant D.C. output voltages with minimum power dissipation.
