Abstract:
A circuit for converting available electrical power at a terminal T.sub.Vin to desirable electrical power at a terminal T.sub.Vout, comprising:a voltage generation circuit for receiving a voltage V.sub.in at terminal T.sub.Vin and providing a voltage V.sub.store and a current I.sub.charge at a terminal T.sub.Vstore ;a capacitor C.sub.store connected to terminal T.sub.Vstore, for storing charge for use by a boost regulator; the charge being generated by voltage V.sub.store and current I.sub.charge ;a timing-control generator, based on V.sub.in and V.sub.store, providing a timing-control signal T.sub.control for controlling the timing operation of the boost regulator; andthe boost regulator, when in operation, based on voltage V.sub.store and a current I.sub.store at terminal T.sub.Vstore, providing voltage V.sub.out.
