一种新型的用于开关电源的高压启动电路

文章提出了一种给集成开关电源提供初始电压的高压启动电路。一个增强型的VDMOS晶体管被用来提供启动电流和承受高压。VDMOS的栅被一个浮空P岛偏置。启动电路用了一个具有高的源对地击穿电压的NMOS来获得大的偏置电压范围。仿真结果表明高压启动电路能够按照设计正常的启动和重启动。本文提出的结构比起其它方案来更节能，成本更低。

A novel high voltage start up circuit for an integrated switched mode power supply

A novel high voltage start up circuit for providing an initial bias voltage to an integrated switched mode power supply (SMPS) is presented. An enhanced mode VDMOS transistor, the gate of which is biased by a floating p-island, is used to provide start up current and sustain high voltage. An NMOS transistor having a high source to ground breakdown voltage is included to extend the bias voltage range to the SMPS. Simulation results indicate that the high voltage start up circuit can start and restart as designed. The proposed structure is believed to be more energy saving and cost-effective compared with other solutions.
