Abstract

The invention relates to a device and to a method for determining a voltage. The voltage to be determined is a direct voltage at the input of a flyback converter. The flyback converter comprises at least a flyback-converter transformer and a switching element on the primary side of the flyback-converter transformer. In order to determine the voltage at the input of the flyback converter, a voltage on the secondary side of the flyback-converter transformer is sensed and evaluated in correlation with the switching state of the switching element on the primary side.
