  • Circuit for sustaining output power during input power interruption
    Patent number: 5394017
    Abstract: A circuit takes advantage of the voltage square times capacitance function of a capacitor to sustain output power during input power interruption with a smaller energy storage capacitor. The circuit comprises an N channel power MOSFET switch, a voltage blocking diode, an energy storage capacitor, a voltage sensing circuit and a capacitor/diode network to provide a constant MOSFET drive.
