Abstract
A circuit for supplying a constant DC voltage to an electrical load and, alternatively, a relatively constant DC current to a storage battery connected in parallel with the electrical load, the circuit including a blocking oscillator having a transformer with primary and secondary windings, a switching transistor having first and second load terminals and a control terminal, and a first resistor, the primary winding, the load terminals of the switching transistor and the first resistor being connected in series across an input voltage source, a rectifier connected in series with the electrical load across the secondary winding, a controlling transistor having first and second load terminals and a control terminal, a reference voltage element connected across the load terminals of the controlling transistor and connected to the control terminal of the switching transistor, and a Zener diode having an anode connected to the control terminal of the controlling transistor and a cathode connected to the parallel arrangement of the electrical load and the storage battery.
