Abstract:
Converter devices and methods are disclosed. A supply voltage (Vcc), for example to supply a control circuit ( 11 ) controlling a switch (Q 1 ), is generated using an additional current path ( 16 ) and a snubber circuit ( 12 ).

Claim (Index 1):
A voltage converter device, comprising:\n a first terminal to be coupled to a winding of a transformer, a second terminal to provide an output voltage, a switch coupled between the first terminal and the second terminal, a snubber circuit having a first snubber terminal and a second snubber terminal, wherein the first snubber terminal is coupled between the switch and the second terminal, a first diode coupled between the second snubber terminal and a supply voltage node, a first capacitor coupled between the supply voltage node and the first terminal, and an additional current path having a first end and a second end, wherein a first end of the additional current path is coupled between the first terminal and the switch and wherein the second end of the additional current path is coupled between the second snubber terminal and the first diode.
