ABSTRACT:
Self-powered supplies with on-board diagnostics are presented for powering a power converter switch driver with power obtained from an associated snubber circuit, including a first converter stage with a full bridge rectifier with a crowbar circuit creating a first DC bus and a second stage with an isolated DC to DC converter, and on-board diagnostics to indicate snubber failures and abnormal conditions of the self-powered supply.
