ABSTRACT:
A regulation circuit for providing timing gate signals to the dc power section of a power supply, the regulation circuit utilizing phase angle conduction of a programmable unijunction transistor. The conduction angle is determined by the occurrence of the cycles of the ac source voltage unless earlier conduction is determined by the sensed dc voltage. Early conduction occurs when the control voltage to the PUT is allowed to build up beyond a predetermined level when the sensed dc voltage is low. When the sensed dc voltage is high, an electronic switch closes to discharge a storage element to prevent control voltage build up and, hence, early conduction. When there is an ac source voltage outage, a diode connected to the control voltage output conducts to keep the control voltage to zero and hence closing of the electronic switch to prevent undue regulation of the power section output at such times and to permit storage capacitors therein to maintain a dc output until source voltage is reestablished. Soft start elements in the form of long time constant components ensure against the application of peaked voltages during initial start up and in the presence of power surges.
