The present invention refers to high-voltage generators, in particular to a step-down DC-to-DC converter circuit (buck converter) for supplying a DC output voltage out which may e.g. be used in a voltage supplying circuitry of an X-ray radiographic imaging system. According to the invention, the peak value of the buck converter's storage inductor current L is controlled by a control circuitμC′which regulates the on-timeΔton of a semiconductor switch S in the feeding line of this storage inductor L. As a result thereof, an output current sensor CS, which is commonly used in today's buck converter designs, becomes redundant.
