Abstract:
A driver circuit for use in a controller includes a signal generator coupled to generate a first control signal, a second control, and a third control signal in response to a drive signal that is coupled to control switching of a selection switch that is coupled to the driver circuit and referenced to an output voltage that is greater than a ground reference voltage. A first switch is coupled to selectively couple a first voltage to a first terminal of the controller in response to the first control signal. A second switch is coupled to selectively couple a second voltage to a second terminal of the controller in response to the second control signal. A third switch is coupled to selectively couple the second terminal of the controller to a third terminal of the controller in response to the third control signal.

Claim (Index 9):
A power converter, comprising:\n an energy transfer element having a primary winding coupled to an input of the power converter and multiple secondary windings coupled to multiple outputs of the power converter; a power switch coupled to the primary winding, wherein the power switch is coupled to be switched to control a transfer of energy from the input of the power converter to the multiple outputs of the power converter in response to a plurality of feedback signals representative of the multiple output of the power converter; a controller including a driver circuit, comprising:\n a signal generator coupled to generate a first control signal, a second control signal, and a third control signal in response to a drive signal that is coupled to control switching of a selection switch that is coupled to the driver circuit and referenced to an output voltage of one of the multiple outputs of the power converter, wherein the output voltage is greater than a ground reference voltage; \n a first switch coupled to selectively couple a first voltage to a first terminal of the controller in response to the first control signal; \n a second switch coupled to selectively couple a second voltage to a second terminal of the controller in response to the second control signal; and \n a third switch coupled to selectively couple the second terminal of the controller to a third terminal of the controller in response to the third control signal.
