  • Patent number: 12101025
    Abstract: A switched-mode power supply includes a first switch transistor. A drain of the first switch transistor receives an input voltage on a direct current input bus of the switched-mode power supply, and a source is connected to a reference ground. The power supply circuit includes a junction field-effect transistor (JFET), where a drain of the JFET receives the input voltage, a gate is connected to the reference ground, and a source outputs a supply voltage or a supply current. During each switch cycle, the first switch transistor is controlled to be turned off or a drain voltage is controlled to be greater than or equal to a first threshold voltage when the first switch transistor is turned on, such that the supply voltage or the supply current satisfies a drive voltage of the first switch transistor and an operating voltage of a to-be-powered circuit of the switched-mode power supply.
