Parallel coupled standby power supplies providing plural outputs
View Patent ↗A power supply for a television apparatus comprises a source of energizing potential (5.2V) fed to first and second control transistors (Q 26403 , Q 26404 ). The first control transistor outputs a first source, while the second control transistor outputs a second source. The two control transistors are controlled by a feedback type voltage regulator (U 26404 ) so that the sources track each other. The feedback voltage regulator is controlled by the second source. A storage capacitor (C 26466 ) is coupled to the first source through an isolating resistor (R 26462 ).
1. A power supply for first and second standby loads, said first standby load being a memory for data retention, which requires energization for a substantial time period following a power loss;
a voltage regulator having an input coupled to a source of input power, and an output coupled to the control terminal of first and second regulating transistors;
the output terminal of said first regulating transistor coupled to said first standby load, and the output terminal of said second regulating transistor coupled to said second standby load; and
a storage capacitor coupled through a resistance to the output terminal of said first regulating transistor.
2. A power supply as defined by claim 1 , in which said voltage regulator is a feedback type of voltage regulator.
3. A power supply as defined by claim 2 , in which the feedback fed to said voltage regulator is taken from the output terminal of said second transistor.
