| 20110228565 | SWITCHMODE POWER SUPPLY FOR DIMMABLE LIGHT EMITTING DIODES - A power supply has a rectifier for producing a supply voltage from an AC source. A transformer includes a primary winding, a secondary winding, and an auxiliary winding, wherein the supply voltage is applied to the primary winding by a first switch. A controller, powered by voltage at a node, pulses the first switch between conductive and non-conductive states. A second rectifier is coupled between the auxiliary winding and the node. A starting resistor applies voltage derived from the supply voltage to the node. A second switch, in series with the starting resistor, is rendered non-conductive by a delay circuit a defined time period after a given voltage occurs at the node. When the power supply initially activates, the starting resistor supplies voltage to the node, soon thereafter voltage is supplied from the secondary winding. When the defined time period elapses, the delay circuit operationally disconnects the starting resistor. | 09-22-2011 |
