Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a circuit structure, in particular to a simple soft start circuit. Background technique
[0002] Due to the existence of capacitance in the circuit, a sudden application of voltage will generate a large transient current. Therefore, when the power is turned on, a certain resistance is connected in series first, and the resistance is short-circuited after a delay. This process limits the transient current when starting up. , and such a circuit is called a soft-start circuit. Soft-start circuits are widely used, such as switching power supplies, LED drivers, fluorescent lamp ballasts, HID ballasts, etc.
[0003] The existing common soft-start circuit structure is usually as follows figure 1 As shown, usually an NTC thermistor is connected in series in the circuit from the input power supply to the energy storage capacitor C1. The NTC thermistor has a large resistance when the temperature is low, generally 1-10 ohms. Due to the...
