<p>There is described a voltage booster circuit (1) for powering a piezoelectric actuator of an injector, and having a first and a second input terminal (2a, 2b) supplied with an input voltage (Vi); a first and a second output terminal (3a, 3b) supplying an output voltage (Vo) greater than the input voltage (Vi), the second input terminal and second output terminal (2b, 3b) being connected to each other over a common line (9); a first and a second inductor (5, 15) coupled magnetically and connected in series between the first input terminal (2a) and the first output terminal (3a); a capacitor (22) connected between the first output terminal (3a) and the second output terminal (3b); and a controlled switch (7) connected between the intermediate node (15a) between the first and second inductor (5, 15), and the second input terminal and second output terminal (2b, 3b), and which switches between a closed operating state, to permit charging of the first inductor (5) by the input voltage (Vi), and an open operating state, to permit transfer of the charge stored in the first inductor (5) to the capacitor (22) via the second inductor (15).</p> |
