ULTRA LOW POWER STAND-BY SUPPLY

摘要

A switched mode power supply is equipped with an auxiliary voltage supply (6; 60) supplying electrical energy to a controller (5; 50), which controls the switching of a switching transistor (4; 40). The auxiliary voltage supply (6; 60) receives a feedback signal from a feedback device (7; 70), which is coupled, to the output (2) of the power supply. In accordance with this feedback signal, the auxiliary voltage supply is arranged to reduce its supply of electrical energy to the controller in response to a decrease of the load at the output of the power supply, thereby reducing power dissipation in the power supply during low loading conditions.
