ABSTRACT:
Due to low output voltage during flyback mode of start phase the secondary current cannot be fully discharged in time. The current buildup will eventually damage the output transistor if the current is not limited.
In order to prevent the current build up during start phase, the storage time of the output transistor of the SMPS has to be reduced.
During the startup phase a negative bias capacitor is not fully charged. Thereby the base of an output transistor is not biased sufficiently when the transistor is switched off. So the transistor could not operate safely if the collector voltage is higher than Vceo.
It is the object to keep charges, which are stored on the capacitor during startup phase and to reduce discharging of the capacitor.
According to this invention means are provided between the base and the emitter of the output transistor. It is preferred that said means are realised by a resistor and a diode, connected in series.
