Described herein is a self-supply circuit (30), for a voltage converter (1) that converts an input voltage (V in ) into an output voltage (V out ) and has a main switch (10) and a controller (12), designed to control switching of the main switch (10) for controlling the output voltage (V out ); the self-supply circuit (30) is provided with: a charge accumulator (16), which is connected to the controller (12) and supplies a self-supply voltage (V cc ) to the same controller; a generator (24), which supplies a charge current (I charge ) to the charge accumulator (16); and an auxiliary switch (21), which has a first conduction terminal in common with a respective conduction terminal of the main switch (10) and is operable so as to control transfer of the charge current (I charge ) to the charge accumulator (16). In particular, the self-supply circuit (30) is provided with a precharge stage (31), connected to the auxiliary switch (21), which carries out a precharging of an intrinsic capacitance of the auxiliary switch (21) before a turning-off transient of the main switch (10) ends. |
