ABSTRACT:
A startup circuit for providing a startup voltage from a high voltage DC bus voltage to an application circuit, the startup circuit comprising an integrated circuit package for at least a control circuit for driving at least one power switch of the application circuit having a low voltage terminal; a dropping resistor in the integrated circuit package having a first terminal for coupling to the high voltage DC bus and a second terminal, the dropping resistor dropping the high voltage DC bus voltage to a reduced voltage and providing the reduced voltage at the second terminal; further comprising a low voltage regulator coupled to the second terminal for using the reduced voltage for enabling generation of a regulated startup low voltage DC output at a preset level at the low voltage terminal for powering at least one part of the application circuit during startup of the application circuit, wherein the high voltage DC bus voltage is the only voltage source provided externally to the integrated circuit package.
