Abstract: A switched mode power supply (SMPS) to output a smoothly rising voltage (VOUT) during startup and still operate efficiently during steady state. A smoothly rising VOUT that avoids a negative voltage slope and voltage overshoot may be desirable in some applications. The techniques of this disclosure include an adaptive loading time controlled oscillator (TCO) compensation circuit that adjusts the TCO frequency to linearly regulate the feedback voltage from the half-bridge (VHBFB). The TCO compensation circuit adapts to the startup loading and self-adjusts the regulation speed for the handover point between the TCO and the voltage controlled oscillator (VCO).

Abstract: An electrical device, particularly having at least one lighting system having light emitting diodes, such as a television having LED backlighting (57), which has a stand-by mode (ZPM) with very low power consumption in which only one control unit (3) is supplied with power via a capacitive voltage divider. For this purpose, alongside parts of the power supply unit (2), the interference suppression capacitor (6) is also switched off.

Abstract: An electrical device having at least one interference suppression capacitor (6, 60) that is actively discharged when there is an interruption to the mains voltage (7) by connecting an electrical load (69) in parallel. For this purpose, the device has a monitor for the mains voltage (7) and means for connecting (68) the electrical load.

Abstract: The invention provides a device for stabilizing an effective value of an output current of a converter. The device comprises the following: an input to receive an input voltage x of the converter, a memory in which a first set of polynomial coefficients a, b, c; kj is stored, a processor that is coupled to the input and the memory and is set up so as to determine a current correction y as a polynomial function with the stored first set of polynomial coefficients a, b, c; kj as a function of the received input voltage x, and a power stage that is coupled to the processor to receive the current correction y and set up to modify the effective value of the output current as a function of the current correction y.

Abstract: A DC power supply (1) having a series regulator (2) for generating a fixed output DC voltage (VCC) at a variable input AC voltage (VAC) with low power loss. For this purpose, the DC power supply (1, 101, 201, 301) has a transformer (3, 103) having at least two auxiliary windings (W1, W2) having different numbers of windings that can each be connected via a switching device (4, 104, 204, 304) to the series regulator (2). Switching is effected such that the power loss is kept as low as possible.
