Self-biased non-isolated low-power switching regulator

Abstract:

A self-biased non-isolated buck regulator is provided. The regulator may include a first input terminal and a second input terminal, a high-voltage switch coupled to the first input terminal, a low-voltage switch coupled to the high-voltage switch, an inductor having a first terminal coupled to the high-voltage switch and the first low-voltage switch, a high-voltage rectifier diode coupled between the first low-voltage switch and the second input terminal, a second low-voltage switch coupled to the first low-voltage switch and the high-voltage rectifier diode, and a capacitor having a first terminal coupled to the first terminal of the inductor, and a second terminal coupled to the second low-voltage switch.
